About This Home

As of February 2025

OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED PROPERTY UNDER CONTRACT! Welcome to 540 Second St, Unit 204, a distinguished residence located in the prestigious Liberty Row community of Alexandria, VA. This luxurious property offers an exceptional living experience with its thoughtfully designed interiors and prime location.

Spanning 1,485 square feet, this elegant home features two spacious bedrooms and two and a half well-appointed bathrooms. The open-concept living area is graced with 9-foot ceilings and crown molding, enhancing the sense of space and sophistication. A double-sided fireplace serves as a focal point, providing warmth and ambiance to both the living and dining areas.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ample cabinetry. The spacious kitchen seamlessly flows into the elegant dining area, by way of the social breakfast bar, making it perfect for both casual meals and formal entertaining.

One of the standout features of this property is the private balcony, offering serene views of the beautiful courtyard, which in turn provides an element of privacy between buildings. This outdoor space is ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious layout, walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with dual-sink Quartz vanity, a soaking tub, and a frameless, glass-enclosed, walk-in shower. The second bedroom is equally inviting, with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for guests, office space, a home gym, or all of the above!

Additional amenities include two dedicated garage parking spaces (F54 & F55), providing convenience and security. The Liberty Row community is known for its well-maintained grounds and upscale living environment.

Located in the heart of the vibrant North Old Town Alexandria, this property offers easy access to a variety of dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. The vibrant waterfront, historic sites, and charming streets of Old Town are just moments away, making this an ideal location for those seeking both luxury and convenience. Location highlights include: less than 1 mile to Braddock Metro, less than 1 mile to the thriving King Street, less than 4 miles to Regan National Airport, less than 1 block to the recreation trail, approx 5 blocks to the waterfront, and within blocks of numerous restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and stores.
