Description
Welcome to this impeccably appointed and wonderfully livable end-unit, townhome-style condo in Lee Mews -- a 20-unit community surrounding a charming courtyard in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. The location offers historic surroundings and modern conveniences: a stone's throw from premier shopping and dining, walkable to bus or metro, Alexandria's bustling waterfront, and the vibrant energy of King Street. Tucked away at the back of the mews, the home enjoys a peaceful respite from the bustle, with a deeded parking space just steps away. Pass through the community iron gate from the parking lot (entrance between 413 and 417 N Washington St), or bring your packages just steps down the private back walkway and directly into your own gated, walled garden to the back door. *** The main level is a showcase of refined craftsmanship, with an array of custom built-ins and exquisite millwork gracing the foyer, dining room, and living room. The elegant foyer and generous dining room are painted a crisp white, creating an airy, luminous atmosphere, while the living room invites relaxed gatherings with rich natural wood and a wood-burning fireplace. As a coveted end-unit, the home is bathed in natural light from windows on three sides including two sets of French doors in the living room. Those doors open to the patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The beautifully renovated kitchen stands out: afternoon sun streams in above the sink, illuminating white custom cabinetry, marble countertops, stainless appliances, and recessed lighting. A stylish powder room off the foyer and gleaming hardwoods throughout complete the main level. *** On the first upper level, the spacious primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring two generous closets (one with organizers) and a sleek, renovated bathroom (2023) with a walk-in glass-door shower, marble mosaic and sleek white subway tile, and a two-tier vanity. The second and third bedrooms -- each with closet organizers -- share a stylishly updated hall bath (2018) appointed with a Carrara marble-topped vanity and a stunning marble mosaic tub surround. *** The second upper level was finished in 2026 as flexible space -- ideal as a home office, exercise room, music or recreation room. The room is carpeted, with recessed lighting, and has ample unfinished storage around the perimeter with access through multiple doors. *** The charm of this home extends outdoors to a tranquil walled garden with well-established plantings including boxwoods, a star jasmine espalier, and climbing roses -- a private oasis in the heart of the city. *** Recent improvements include: 2nd upper level converted to finished space (2026), new hardwood floors on the main level (2022), refinished hardwoods on the first upper level (2026), full kitchen renovation (2020), primary bath renovation (2023), hall bath renovation (2018), roof (2018), and all-new windows and French doors (2021). Make this gem of a home yours! *** Note: Square footage in this listing (finished and unfinished areas across all three levels) is taken from the floor plan and does not match the tax record.
