609 Malcolm Pl, Alexandria, VA 22302

Welcome home to 609 Malcolm Place, nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in Alexandria’s esteemed Jefferson Park neighborhood. Meticulously reimagined and recently expanded for modern-day living, this home embodies sophistication and warmth with every detail, boasting an array of custom features to elevate your lifestyle, and utilize every square inch of space. A true oasis in the middle of the city, the location feels distinctly residential yet is a short distance to the restaurants, festivals, and shops of Del Ray, as well Braddock Road metro station, and more. No expense has been spared, and every detail has been addressed, in lovingly reinventing this home. The exterior – which has been featured in local, national, and social media ads for companies such as Baldwin, Signature Hardware, Upstate Door, Tart Lumber, and Pottery Barn – has been updated with a custom-milled African Mahogany entry door, polished chrome gas lanterns, Pennsylvania bluestone pavers and a new poured concrete driveway. Beyond the charming front facade lies a gracious foyer, setting the tone for the elegance and warmth that awaits within. The heart of the home – a chef's kitchen designed for culinary enthusiasts – showcases a ten-foot-long island, polished Italian marble countertops, Visual Comfort lighting, and Shaker-front Omega brand cabinetry. Recently updated Kitchenaid stainless steel appliances and a convenient wine and coffee bar complete the package. Entertain your friends and family with ease in the gracious adjoining dining room, adorned with a Visual Comfort chandelier and custom Paul Montgomery chinoiserie mural wallpaper. Then, retire to the pièce de résistance – a great room addition completed in 2020 and designed by esteemed local architect Kim Allen Beasley. The room contains soaring 13-foot coffered barrel ceilings, a Robert Abbey chandelier, bespoke white oak herringbone floors, built-in bookcases, and a remote-controlled gas fireplace with a custom stone mantle. Open the two sets of double French doors in the great room to seamlessly continue your party to a manicured garden with a forty-foot-long Pennsylvania bluestone paver patio. The home also includes a thoughtfully designed mudroom addition, boasting five closet-depth personal lockers with charging stations, full-size laundry, and a dog feeding station. Other functional touches include a built-in ironing board and laundry chute that feeds into a hamper cabinet. Also on the main level, discover a versatile fifth bedroom with an en-suite updated half bathroom, built-in bookshelves, and a walk-in closet space, perfect for guests, or as a flexible home office, playroom, or den. Ascend the staircase to find four additional bedrooms, each adorned with white oak hardwood floors and bathed in natural sunlight. The primary suite, a sanctuary of luxury, boasts two separate closets with professionally designed closet systems and a spa-like bathroom featuring 11-foot ceilings, a custom silver-leaf pedestal soaking tub, Suzanne Kasler-designed lighting, imported Italian marble, dual vanities, and medicine cabinets.
