Nestled in the heart of Old Town Alexandria’s coveted Southeast quadrant, this beautifully updated townhome blends historic charm with modern comfort and thoughtful design. Step inside to a dramatic 2 story living room with windows facing east that flood the space with natural light. This flows into the formal dining room perfect for family meals and entertaining. A hallway with a convenient half bath leads to the rear of the home that opens to a renovated kitchen with updated cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar that opens to a cozy family room with a wood burning fireplace. Sliding glass doors open to your private and completely fenced backyard with a large deck (2023) that steps down to a landscaped yard with a stone pathway that leads to a shed and rear alley. Upstairs, the owner’s suite offers a peaceful retreat, featuring a beautifully renovated and reconfigured en-suite bathroom with a dual sink vanity with marble countertop, a tub/shower combo with beautiful green herringbone tile surround and a custom walk-through closet (2023). Just outside of the owner’s suite is a spacious loft that overlooks the living room and makes a perfect home office, library, or playroom. The third floor offers two more generously sized bedrooms, one at the front and one at the rear of the home, with a full bathroom and a convenient laundry room located in between. Recent updates throughout the home include new appliances, recessed lighting, fresh paint inside and out (2025), and a rebuilt retaining wall and exterior deck. Parking is made simple with street parking spaces just outside the front of the home. Set just steps from the historic Wilkes Street Tunnel and a short walk to the Potomac River, Windmill Hill Park, and the Mount Vernon Trail, this home offers unparalleled access to Alexandria’s outdoor gems. It is also just one block from Lyles Crouch Traditional Academy and within a few blocks to multiple playgrounds. Enjoy weekend strolls to the farmer’s market at Market Square, one of the oldest in the country, and enjoy King Street’s shops, cafés, and events that make Old Town so beloved. With its prime location, charming character, and modern updates, this home offers the best of Old Town living.

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.
