It’s exciting to share a revised value on a truly unique property! This gated in-town country estate offers an unparalleled sense of rural tranquility while being conveniently located just 10 minutes from DCA. Situated on a premier lot on Lloyd's Lane in the City of Alexandria, VA, this almost half-acre property is beautifully landscaped with flower beds and a koi pond, offering an exceptional outdoor living experience.
The entire property is secure and private, enclosed by wood plank fencing with remote gates. A charming front porch welcomes you into an interior filled with character, boasting high ceilings, vintage pine floors, glass doorknobs, and custom details throughout. Rebuilt in 1997, the home exudes a 1925 charm while providing modern comfort and an exceptional layout perfect for entertaining. The owner's meticulous design has resulted in a residence that offers incredible flow for gatherings and peaceful privacy. It even has the potential to host another wedding!
The main floor features a striking thirty-foot art gallery foyer, leading to high-ceilinged formal spaces including separate living and dining rooms, each with a gas fireplace. The updated eat-in white kitchen features a quartz island and overlooks the rear deck and garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry/mudroom/laundry area and a cozy family room with a fireplace. The study includes a wet bar, and a powder room is conveniently located nearby.
Upstairs, the primary suite is accessed via a foyer that connects two additional rooms (ideal for bedrooms or an office), two bathrooms, and a spacious 14 x 12 walk-in closet. This level also includes two more bedrooms and a full bathroom. On the next floor, you'll find another bedroom suite, an enormous playroom/studio, and a full bath.
The finished lower level offers abundant storage, another bedroom suite with a full bath and a separate exterior entrance (perfect for a nanny or in-law suite), a separate laundry room, and an additional recreation room suitable for games or a screening room. The circular stone driveway provides parking for numerous cars. This prime setting is ideal for children and pets to roam freely, and it's remarkable that this peaceful haven is located in the heart of the city. Moreover, the property offers great convenience to multiple private and public schools and is in close proximity to Old Town Alexandria and Washington, DC.
