Amongst the cobblestone, lantern-lit streets of Alexandria, this historic home offers four floors - over two thousand square feet - of spacious, sun-drenched living space. Masterfully restored to preserve the iconic architecture and design of the Federal Period, while upgraded by many luxurious and modern conveniences. Located in the heart of Old Town, just two blocks from King Street and many of the city’s main attractions, including acclaimed Alexandrian restaurants, necessities such Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter, and fantastic shopping options. 305 North Washington offers nearby access to the GW Parkway and is only a short distance to DC and Reagan National Airport.
A shimmering glass and crystal chandelier, suspended from the towering living room ceiling, greets you at the home’s entrance. The wood-burning fireplace and ornate mantle, chair and crown molding, and refinished hardwood floors add warmth and charm while embellished woodworking and historic hardware preserve the character of this historic Federal style home.
The adjoining dining room, with a second fireplace and built-in shelving, leads to the kitchen. This space is perfectly coordinated by stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry and checkerboard flooring.
Both the dining room and kitchen lead to an open air English courtyard where a brick walkway wraps around the rear of the home and is lined with beautiful rose bushes.
On the second floor, a den with floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving and a third fireplace offer the possibility for a library or office. An adjoining bedroom overlooks the garden and completes this level.
Find the spacious master suite, with a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a glass enclosed shower and dual vanities, on the third level. The laundry area is conveniently located on this floor. The most upper level is home to a private, third bedroom, made bright by a wall of windows. A full bath with a lavish claw foot tub, perfectly deep for soaking away the day, is also on this floor.
New windows in the living room and master suite provide a sound buffer and energy efficiency. An unfinished basement offers plenty of space for storage.
