Description

Welcome to 200 Longview Drive, a most rare offering of nearly 5,000 square feet of tranquil living in the City of Alexandria. Steeped in over 200 years of history and having been home to some of the area’s most important historical figures; originally a local grocer, then went on to a revered judge, a beloved veterinarian, a Congressman, and a General, this home balances its long legacy with modern comfort and endless possibilities for the future.
Set back deeply on a spacious 2/3 acre lot, with a stately circular driveway anchored by mature magnolias and boxwoods, this home dates back to 1819. There is original wide-plank pine flooring throughout the main level, giving the formal living room (with a woodburning fireplace) and formal dining room and entryway a sense of both history and continuity. Enjoy the large addition to the original home with a spacious kitchen overlooking a soaring great room with access to a screened in porch and veranda. A main level library/den, home office and mudroom from the garage complete the first floor. The two-car garage has a living space above, previously used as a separately rented apartment and converted to a music studio.
Upstairs, a primary suite with three closets (one of which is a walk-in), high ceilings and an en-suite bathroom sits on the north side of the home, with three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an amply-sized laundry room with storage in a nearby wing. The basement, complete with a separate entrance, has several rooms for storage. This home is also equipped with a 16.53 kW Solar PV Renewable Energy Solar System, comprised of 38 SunPower M-435 Watt AC Panels with factory-integrated microinverters.
The location – close enough to Duke Street for convenience but set back enough for privacy and seclusion – offers easy Beltway access, nearby restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and three Metro stops within just over a mile’s radius (King Street Metro is 1 mile, Eisenhower is .8, and Huntington is 1.1), as well as several nearby bus stops. Zoned for the newly rebuilt and locally cherished Douglas MacArthur Elementary School and only four blocks from Bishop Ireton High School.
