This majestic home is set on a double lot with walled gardens, several patios and a garage. In addition, the 8,600 square foot mansion has benefitted from a spectacular recent renovation which honors those rarified elements while creating a home with lightness and elegance that is perfectly attuned to today’s lifestyle. A sandstone staircase with wrought iron gas lamps and railings complements the elegant window-lined facade and adjacent garden with a secondary entrance. The stunning living room, dining room and family room showcase period plaster cornices adorning the 12’ ceiling ands marble fireplace mantles.  Full-length windows with original interior folding shutters and a pair of original gilt pier mirrors, which are original to the home, reflect the expansive floor plan.  Pocket doors between these areas provide the option for creating intimate spaces or joining the multiple rooms for a more open floor plan.  Triple Niermann Weeks chandeliers unite the three rooms.
  A beautiful breakfast room, conservatory and a newly renovated kitchen provide views of the landscaped walled gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is a lovely breakfast room with 14’ ceilings and expansive bay windows.  The breakfast room opens to a window-lined conservatory with scalloped window shelves, thought to be original to the home, and arched glass window paned doors opening to the garden area.  A charming office with custom fitted cabinetry and a painted geometric pattern floor provides access to the garden’s private courtyard.  A beautifully designed elevator and a stunning French-inspired powder room with stone basin and floor complete this level
 
The second level offers three large bedrooms with ensuite fireplaces and stunning window treatments.  In addition, there are two full bathrooms and a spacious laundry room with ample storage.
  A window-lined sitting area with views of the historic homes facing 811 Prince provides a welcome to the fabulous Owner’s Suite.  The Suite offers a luxurious bedroom with garden views as well as an exquisite painted mural of the Potomac River and a marble fireplace.  The elegant bath offers double vanities, a marble fireplace, a spa tub with marble backdrop, a glass enclosed shower and a private water closet.  The primary bedroom opens to a truly fabulous dressing room where  a Niermann Weeks chandelier delicately illuminates the marble topped center island and the beautifully designed custom cabinetry with inset mirrors.  An additional laundry room is located adjacent to the primary suite.
  A staircase to the uppermost level leads to an additional large finished room with exposed brick walls and recessed lighting.  In the unfinished area one can see the top of the historic oculus skylight and graffiti on the wall believed to have been written by Civil War soldiers.
  The residence's lower level offers a handsome second family room or entertaining space with a work out area, a 1,600-bottle temperature-controlled wine room and a full bath. An ultimate experience of living in historic Old Town Alexandria, this stunning private residence has impeccable gardens, a garage and a superior location. Perfect for family living and elegant entertaining and located within blocks of the Potomac River and restaurants, this is a one of a kind offering.
