Pulling up to this house one is struck by a sense of privacy, even though it is near the heart of Old Town, Alexandria. As the beautiful, custom, wrought-iron gate rolls back, the copper gutters and downspouts, intricate front door sconces, well-designed garage door, enveloping stone walls and mature trees come into view. To the left of the garage, a separate gate leads to the back, outside garden. The widow?s peak atop the garage and full exterior-lighting add an extra quality to the façade while the wooden door beckons to friends and family alike.

Upon entering the house, one is greeted by a picturesque, large hallway. Runners adorn the hardwood floors and an ample coat closet provides space. The eye travels up wide planked stairs, with custom runners, to the upper level.

Standing at the front door and turning to the left, one is greeted by a full dining room. Hardwood floors and custom draperies furnish the space. A chandelier drops down from above, providing a sophisticated touch.

To the right, through a curved archway, is the living room. This room features a fieldstone fireplace accented with sconces, new windows, and a beautiful set of French doors leading to a impressive enclosed patio. It is cozy with or without the added glow of a fire burning.

The enclosed porch, although situated on the first level of the house, is actually a story above the ground. It offers a treehouse-like setting. The second story offers dramatic views of the Washington, DC skyline, particularly in the evening. Perfect for entertaining or enjoying a lazy day, the fieldstone floor, supporting stone columns and walls made of windows make this space quite special.

The small gourmet kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, including a six-burner stove and range hood. Custom stone work surrounds the stove and the stone floors are accented with a special inlay. Marble countertops and pin spot track lighting add modernity, while the hanging pot rack and windowed cabinets add a rustic feel. And, the view from the kitchen window? The same perfect view of Washington as witnessed from the porch.

Directly off the kitchen is a half-bath, complete with Kohler pedestal sink and toilet as well as ample storage space. The door to the garage finishes this area off, leading to a one-car garage with two-car frontage.

Walking up the steps to the second floor, one is impressed with the design of this space. While three bedrooms occupy the top floor, it does not feel overcrowded. The first bedroom is spacious and faces east, allowing sunlight to bathe the room. Hardwood floors and a generous closet are features of the room.

The second bedroom faces southeast, allowing for sunlight to wash over the space. The hardwood floors and ample closet provide a standard, yet solid sleeping space. A bathroom is present in the hall, complete with pedestal sink, toilet and shower.

The Master Bedroom is a cavernous space and has both his and her bathrooms. The bathrooms are white with Carrera marble flooring, subway tiling with decorative design and wall-length mirrors. His has the spacious walk-in shower, while hers features the luxurious bath. The bedroom also comes equipped with his and her walk-in closets. But, possibly the best feature of this room is the Master Seating Room. This room, with coffered ceiling, recessed lighting, hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves can be used as a den, office, or lounging room.

The lower level of this house offers much to its inhabitants. A utility room with washer/dryer and folding station provides convenience. A full bath with shower/bathtub combo, built in cabinetry, pedestal sink and basket-weave tiled floor shows advantage. An exercise room is equipped with two closets and a full wall mirror to motivate. The hallway with high ceilings and hardwood floors are easy on the eye.

But, that is not all that this house showcases on this floor. A carpeted fourth bedroom sports crown molding and a walk-in closet. A curved archway leads through to a fully carpeted family room with stone hearth and sconces. But, the best is yet to come.

A full dining room is also housed on this level. Natural light bathes the space and it?s quite cozy. To cook meals, no need to go upstairs to the kitchen. Attached to the dining room on this level is a full kitchen with a copper farm sink, Jenn-Air stainless steel stove and microwave, LG dishwasher and custom pullouts. The cabinetry is wooden and windowed, while the floor is porcelain tile. Track lighting provides brightness. However, that is not the only incredible feature of this dining room and kitchen area. One of the main features of this house is the wine cellar.

Enclosed in stone, the wine cellar is the perfect place to house a superior collection of your favorites, whites or reds. The perfectly sized space holds scores of bottles and is a gem of the home.

The door leading to the outside patio and back garden is also on this floor.. The large patio and garden are splendid and add a tranquil air to the property. Beautifully enclosed with stone walls and supported by large, stone columns made of fieldstone, the downstairs patio is the perfect place to relax alone or with guests. The terraced garden is beautiful, with planter boxes actually sunk into the running stone walls. The charming backyard also displays a spectacular view of Washington. A separate entrance allows for the occasional garden or dinner party with no traffic through the house.

This home is unique for its neighborhood. While other houses are traditional, colonial brick dwellings known in this section of town, this house is completely made of stone. This was the rarest of stone at the time of its construction and was quite scarce.

The location is a short walk to both the King Street Metro station and VRE rail station. Not only that, it is also within walking distance to the heart of Old Town.
