About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to 1032 North Royal Street, a beautifully updated three-level condo in North Old Town Alexandria. With 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a host of thoughtful upgrades, this home blends classic character with modern conveniences.

Step inside to discover brand-new hardwood floors and freshly painted walls that create a warm, polished ambiance. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring an eat-in area for casual dining and ample cabinet storage. Just off the kitchen is a separate dining room with large windows framed by plantation shutters, offering plenty of natural light.

The second floor is anchored by an inviting living room where a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins add charm and functionality. This space is perfect for cozy evenings or entertaining guests. On this level, there is also a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bath with shower.

Upstairs, the third-floor primary suite is a true retreat. The bedroom opens to a spacious outdoor deck, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. The suite also includes closets outfitted with Elfa shelving systems, ensuring a place for everything. The newly renovated primary bathroom is a highlight, with its spa-inspired walk-in shower and modern finishes that make it feel like a private sanctuary.

With two dedicated garage parking spaces and access to shared EV chargers, convenience is built into this home. All of this is set in a prime location—just steps from the waterfront, vibrant shops, and top-tier dining in Old Town. Amazon HQ2 and Washington, DC, are just minutes away. This isn’t just a home—it’s a place to live beautifully. The Watergate of Alexandria offers a serene escape with its picturesque courtyards and tranquil fountains. This charming community is renowned for its beautifully landscaped walkways, brick townhomes, and a sense of privacy rarely found in urban settings. It is also a pet-friendly community. Just steps from the waterfront, restaurants, and boutiques, Watergate of Alexandria combines timeless elegance with unparalleled convenience, creating a truly unique living experience.
