About This Home
As of April 2021Satisfy your keen appreciation of history and early Alexandria life with this striking, solid 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath, brick Federal home offering gracious rooms with tall ceilings, time-honored floors and exquisite woodwork. Rarity lies in the southern-facing open-air Charleston or New Orleans-style sleeping balcony which overlooks the deep side and rear gardens and quiet library refuge while the brick floored eat-in kitchen evokes tales of a happy history and bustling life. Even the lower level has a recreation room ready for another century of your adventures. Want to switch the locations of the large kitchen with the family room ? Architectural designs have been created by a famous local architect and are available. Want to maintain the classic flow and maybe just widen the doorways to the garden and keep the flow? Those interesting designs can show the way. Offered As-Is. Inspections are welcome. Pre-Listing Home Inspection conducted by Ron Meely, the Senior Building Inspector of America/Prime Properties, and posted for all to see in Documents Section. Recent new gas furnace, reconfigured lower level with good storage now and recreation/hobby room, and freshly painted throughout. Detailed brochure with history and room dimensions available at the home and on my website.
