Stunning residence located in Rosemont in the City of Alexandria within easy walking distance to the Metro. Extraordinary home in extraordinary location!!
Sited high above the street for privacy, this home has a deep front porch stretching across the entire front and wrapping around the sides. Extensive hardscape includes stone terrace walls and slate walkways in the front, side and back.
Completely gutted and renovated, down to and including the studs, adding 2 additional floors above and expanding the basement and first floor. This home encompasses 6000 above grade square feet with 5-6 bedrooms and 7 1/2 baths. And yet there is a warm intimate feel in the main living areas of the home.
This is a perfect blend of modern luxury living with classic details from the days when homes were built with fine craftsmanship. Custom-built on-site with exceptional millwork and bespoke finishes you won’t find in any other new construction in the area, such as wainscot, panelling, coffered ceilings, crown moulding and many built-ins. Yet the open floor plan meets all of today’s requirements.
Upon entering the house you are welcomed by a large foyer with herringbone hardwood floors and wainscot. The hardwood, hand-finished on site, stretches across the entire first and second floors lending warmth to the home.
If you love to entertain, or just cook for your family, you will fall in love with this kitchen. Thermador 48” dual fuel range (also with Induction!) separate wall oven and microwave, 2 dishwashers, farmhouse sink big enough for your largest pans, beverage fridge, 36” refrigerator and 36” freezer. Butlers pantry is perfect – with wine fridge and wet bar, and a separate walk-in pantry.
