About This Home

As of June 2024

Welcome to 501 N. West Street in Charming and Historic Old Town Alexandria.
Embrace the essence of the very best of Old Town living in this enchanting 3 level brick 4 bed, 2 bath end-unit townhome, where historic charm meets contemporary elegance. Amazing location, just 1.5 blocks from the Braddock Road Metro. Nestled amidst the vibrant streets of Old Town Alexandria, this residence presents a rare opportunity to experience all that Old Town has to offer, with the rare tranquility of a sprawling lush green lawn wrapped in white picket fencing.
Enjoy a sun-drenched entry, boasting original gleaming hardwoods throughout the main living level. The living room with custom millwork opens seamlessly to the upgraded kitchen (granite counters and custom maple cabinetry) and dining nook. A side door right off the kitchen provides quick and handy access to the side yard and offers an alternative exit for added convenience.
Upstairs you will find original hardwoods, three bedrooms with an updated full hall bathroom. Laundry is conveniently located on the bedroom level.
On the lower level enjoy a fully finished walk-out basement with a family room, a 4th bedroom, and a full bathroom. Your guests will enjoy peace and privacy.
A true outdoor oasis: enjoy the luxury of an amazing corner lot with a large, green yard, perfect for outdoor entertaining, playtime with pets and children, or simply soaking up the sunshine. Sit on the full-length covered front porch (with sunshade) constructed with beautiful, no maintenance TREX decking and a gorgeous custom mahogany ceiling and watch the world go by. The new 'white picket fence' ensures both charm and security, while a patio adorned with quaint string lights sets the stage for enchanting alfresco dining and memorable gatherings.
Prime Location: Situated in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, this home offers unparalleled access to urban amenities and cultural delights. A short walk to the Braddock Road Metro stop (blue/yellow lines) ensures effortless commuting, while the renowned King Street is just a five-block stroll away, beckoning with its array of boutiques, eateries, and entertainment options.
Unparalleled Walkability: Explore the best of Alexandria on foot, with King Street, the waterfront, Del Ray, and more all within easy reach. Indulge in a myriad of dining, shopping, and entertainment options practically in every direction. The local Elementary School/Middle School Jefferson Houston (K-8th grade) is only blocks away.
Accessible Location: Conveniently located near major thoroughfares such as 395 and the George Washington Parkway, this home offers easy access to Regan National Airport, The Pentagon, The District, Amazon HQ2, Mount Vernon and beyond, ensuring easy commutes and effortless travel and exploration.
Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to live in this award-winning town of Old Town Alexandria. A most coveted neighborhood, where you can experience the allure of Old Town living and make this distinctive townhome your own. Welcome Home!
