About This Home
As of February 2025NEW LISTING! Open Sunday 2/9 1-3 PM. One block to the river! Welcome to this spectacular 1600+ square foot Torpedo Factory townhouse in the very heart of Old Town Alexandria. A meticulous, top-to-bottom renovation was completed in 2021 by the award-winning Braswell Design+Build Firm of Alexandria, and not a single detail was overlooked. The list of fine upgrades throughout this home is extensive, and includes new lighting, hardwood floors, doors, window casements, trim and baseboards, new stair railing, built-in storage throughout, and so much more.
The impressive chef’s kitchen features sleek custom cabinetry from Crystal Cabinet, gorgeous quartz countertops and backsplash, a custom cooktop hood, and upscale German Miele appliances including an induction cook-top, two wall ovens including a wall oven/microwave combo, built-in fridge and freezer with internal ice maker, and dishwasher with stainless steel interior and salt reservoir. The gourmet kitchen opens into the dining room, and sunken living room beyond with a view to the private terrace. A built-in coat closet, convenient powder room, and storage closet are also located on the first level. The floorplan is simply ideal for entertaining.
The dramatic sunken living room boasts tall ceilings and a romantic wood-burning fireplace. French-style doors lead to the private, wisteria-covered terrace – one of the best in the community! The terrace offers an opportunity for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening, or time spent gardening in the raised bed planters. The peaceful setting is remarkable.
The spacious upper levels boast three en-suite bedrooms, including an enormous penthouse level suite with stunning vaulted ceilings. The bedrooms boast hardwood floors, recessed lighting, custom closets, motorized black-out shades, and en-suite bathrooms with quartz vanities, Crystal custom drawers, walk-in showers with glass shower enclosures, dual shower heads, and more.
This home offers everything today’s homebuyer is looking for: bright sunny spaces, warm hardwood floors, high end-finishes, abundant storage, thoughtful renovations, and a quiet setting in a location that can’t be beat. A secure parking spot with 240 Volt electric car charger in the adjoining garage conveys.
Located just minutes to Washington, DC, Reagan-National Airport, the Blue and Yellow Line Metro, and all major commuter routes, the Residences at the Torpedo Factory Condominium is an architectural landmark with distinct copper roofs and chimney tops in the very heart of Old Town Alexandria. Surrounded by charm and American history, the Torpedo Factory is walking distance to an array of upscale restaurants, unique shops, cozy cafes, the Mount Vernon Bike Trail, and the Potomac River waterfront. Art shows and parades are at your doorstep year-round, without the noise and congestion usually associated with urban living. A water taxi is available at the waterfront to whisk you off to Nationals Park, the Wharf, Georgetown and National Harbor. The free trolley along King Street to the King Street Metro ensures easy access to shopping and attractions. The country’s oldest Farmer’s Market, where George Washington once sold his fruits and vegetables, is held every Saturday, just one block away. Visit and see why the Torpedo Factory Condominium is Old Town’s best address.
