Description
A welcoming front porch sets the stage for this exceptional home. Inside, reclaimed, vintage oak hardwood floors add warmth and character to the main level. The front living room, centered around a wood-burning fireplace, offers a cozy yet elegant gathering space. The light-filled family room features 10’ ceilings with floor-to-ceiling vertical windows flanked by custom window treatments by Kristin Try Interiors that maximize natural light while preserving wall space. Also included is a second wood-burning fireplace for added comfort. Designed for both style and function, the kitchen is a chef’s dream, equippedwith high-end Thermador and Bosch appliances, including a range beneath a custom hood accented with reclaimed wood to match the floors. Custom Crystal cabinetry, leathered black granite countertops and a striking Venatino marble backsplash complete this thoughtfully designed space.
A versatile dining area seamlessly connects the living spaces, and a side deck offers easy access to outdoor grilling and entertaining. An additional island area offers space for both casual dining and workspace. The main level also features a bright office with expansive windows overlooking the park and Commonwealth Ave, providing an inspiring setting for work or relaxation. A stylish powder room adds both convenience and elegance. The thoughtfully designed gabled addition includes a back entrance leading into a mudroom with honed bluestone tile flooring and is illuminated by sophisticated pendants by Visual Comfort lighting.
The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring rustic reclaimed beams, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath with a custom wood vanity, marble accents, and beautifully curated tile. Two additional bedrooms showcase original heart pine hardwood floors. The front bedroom, overlooking Oak Street, includes a built-in window seat, desk and custom shelving, creating a versatile space. The spacious third bedroom also features a charming window seat, perfect for reading, studying, or play. A well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath seamlessly connects the 3rd and 4th bedrooms.
The lower level offers flexible living space, ideal as a recreation room, potential fifth bedroom, or au pair suite. Additional highlights include a well-equipped laundry area and abundant storage—including an expansive conditioned crawl space.
In addition to the front porch, this home offers exceptional outdoor living spaces, including the side deck and an additional side patio—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The fully fenced-in yard is even larger than expected, with plenty of room for playing with pets or catch with little ones. An automatic gate provides secure access to the driveway, which accommodates two cars, adding both convenience and privacy.
The upscale lighting in the house showcases each room beautifully. Jeld-Wen windows have been installed throughout, preserving two original historic windows flanking the front fireplace. The renovation was completed in early 2018. The professionally landscaped yard and gardens include an irrigation system and reflect years of dedication, featuring vibrant peonies and one of the most beautiful cherry trees in the neighborhood.
With a whole-house generator for peace of mind, this home is the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern convenience. A rare opportunity in one of Alexandria’s most sought-after (extra wide) streets, West Oak! Walk across the street to Grape and Bean (now Rosemont Cellar) and Hoof's Run Park and Greenway. Less than a half mile to Braddock and King Street metro stations. Plus, easily walk to Old Town and Del Ray.
