Charming Ground-Level Studio in Sought-After Harbor Terrace.
Welcome to this beautifully updated ground-floor studio condo located in the highly desirable Harbor Terrace community of North Old Town. Enjoy the convenience of your own PRIVATE WALK-UP DECK oasis, just steps from a dedicated parking lot—urban living with a touch of serenity. This thoughtfully designed studio features bamboo flooring throughout the main living space, with ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath. The kitchen has been tastefully upgraded with granite countertops, designer cabinetry, and modern finishes. Crown molding and tall, elegant baseboards add a refined touch, while dimmable recessed lighting creates a warm, customizable ambiance. A spacious walk-in closet with custom shelving offers excellent storage, and the in-unit WASHER and DRYER add everyday convenience. Just steps from the scenic Mount Vernon Trail and a short 5-minute stroll to the Potomac River, this location is a commuter’s dream—only 3.5 miles to DCA Airport, 5 miles to the Pentagon, and surrounded by three nearby bus stops.
Offering exceptional value, this is your chance to own an affordable piece of Old Town charm—a rare find in today’s market. Whether you're looking to downsize, simplify, or find a cozy home in one of Alexandria’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this lovingly maintained studio is the perfect place to call home. Live easy, live smart—embrace the simple life at Harbor Terrace. WATER AND TRASH IS INCLUDED WITH CONDO FEE. Owner is responsible for electricity.
