This storybook “Mitchell” model cottage came by train to Alexandria from the Sears, Roebuck and Company in 1930. Nearly 100 years later, this home has been artfully reimagined, and dressed with opulent, modern-day finishes while preserving the home’s historic architectural details and original main level floorplan. Deceptively large, every surface has experienced the thoughtful touch of a discerning eye --from the Farrow & Ball paint colors to the Forbes and Lomax switches, from the quartz countertops and Bertazzoni gas range to a lavish copper soaking tub and bespoke honed marble wet bar. Visitors are warmly welcomed as they pass through the original arched wooden door and enter the vestibule with the original mail slot. The spacious, light-filled living room boasts four French doors overlooking Oak Street, arched built in bookcases, and a gas fireplace. The dining room gracefully beckons through an arched passage way. Just off the dining room is the renovated kitchen exquisitely appointed with quartz countertops, a marble mosaic backsplash, Bertazzoni gas range with hood, a paneled Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, and Fisher and Paykel refrigerator. The charming screened-in porch overlooking the backyard is accessible off the kitchen. The back yard is fully fenced and offers mature perennial landscaping, a flagstone patio, and a lawn. Completing the main level are two beautiful, spacious bedrooms with closet systems and a renovated and classically designed bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Unexpected magic unfolds as you descend to the lower level. The color drenched family room is impeccably designed to experience the finest in movie nights. Handcrafted built-ins frame the media wall. A honed marble wet bar is lavishly appointed with Waterworks fixtures and Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers. The third bedroom offers an oasis seldom seen on a lower level with chic Mind the Gap wallpaper, custom caned doors, and a proper egress window. Sumptuous luxury abounds in the lower-level bathroom with an imported English cooper soaking tub, a calacatta marble shower, and custom floating concrete sink. The stylishly appointed laundry room offers honed quartzite counters, a farm sink, shiplap walls, chevron brick floors, and nearly new front-loading LG washer and dryer. A dedicated home office, walk-in closet, and utility room complete the lower level. Located in the heart of Rosemont, less than 1 block from Grape & Bean and Naomi Brooks Elementary School, this home is less than a half mile from the Braddock Metro Station, 4 miles from Reagan National Airport, and 7 miles from Washington, DC. UPDATES: New Roof (2024); new landscaping (2024); complete lower level remodel (2024) including new flooring, lighting, walls; third bedroom with egress added (2024); complete LL bathroom remodel (2024); new wet bar with refrigeration drawers added (2024); new built-in media wall added (2024); new laundry room constructed with new W/D (2024); laundry room sump pump replaced (2025); main level bathroom remodel (2020); main level flooring (2020); furnace (2019); a/c (2019); hot water heater (2019); and windows replaced (2012).

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
