Youve heard of Old Town Alexandrias Walled Gardens. This is your chance to have one that is truly brag-worthy! The sellers have spent years planning, modifying and cultivating their outdoor space both front and back. With a focus on plants native to the region, they individually selected each flower, shrub and groundcover with meticulous care for how the color and fragrance would complement other plantings. The result is beautiful, four-season interest. The garden has been maintained with ecologically-friendly products, compost and even earthworms, yielding a natural ecosystem attractive to (and healthy for) butterflies, hummingbirds and songbirds. The latticework brick walls and custom wooden gate incorporating an antique cast iron vent grate bring classic old-world charm to the inviting space. Set up seating on the brick patio to enjoy the environs! The front is deep and the steps are framed with more greenery, color and fragrant blossoms as you walk to the front door and covered portico. Check out the front and back walled garden planting maps with companion photos from the garden to see the beauty youre in store for! **** Please dont think that this description starts with the garden to distract from the interior of the house: it absolutely will not disappoint! Through the custom mahogany front door, the main level has a modern, open plan. The front living room features built-in cabinets/shelving and a wood-burning fireplace. A graceful arch separates the living and dining rooms with crown molding and a gallery artwork-hanging system in both. The dining room, with a Lindsey Adelman-designed light fixture, is open to a chefs delight of a kitchen. Starting with a Viking professional-grade cooktop and Best By Broan vent hood above, the stainless steel appliances complement the two-tone custom cabinets with recessed doors, French floor tile and other high end finishings. For extra kitchen storage, theres a pantry at the top of the stairs to the lower level, illuminated by an Artemide light fixture. At the back of the house is a sunroom addition with heated flooring and a ceiling fan for 4-season comfort, and a door with steps to the garden. **** Upstairs are two generous bedrooms. With Mahogany French doors between, the entire level can be used as a single primary suite. Alternatively, the doors close and lock to separate the bedrooms, or the doors could be reverted to a wall for two, totally unconnected rooms. The back bedroom has a door that can be opened for extra air flow and provides roof access. (You might consider adding decking and a railing for a future roof-deck/balcony!) The tastefully updated upper level bathroom provides good cabinet space and with under-floor heating - will warm your feet on the coldest of winter nights. **** The lower level is currently set up as an office with custom built-in cabinetry and a mix of Flor Carpet tiles for warmth and Vinyl tiles for practicality. With direct access to a back door, the space is fully functional as a bedroom suite, with a nicely refreshed bathroom that gets a peak of light from the outside. Alternatively at your option - use the space as an office or rec room! The laundry/utility room and area under the stairs offer plenty of storage space on this level.**** The home is notable for the careful selection of each finishing for functionality, style and quality. The moldings, bath and kitchen fixtures, lighting and more are sure to impress. As for major systems, the HVAC was replaced in 2008 and a Bosch tankless water heater installed in 2021. The home has 200 Amp electrical service with a whole-house surge protector. These and more are detailed in a list of considerable updates (please ask to see it)! **** Parking is easy in your own space directly in front of the house. And alley access in the back allows trash bins outside your walled garden . Check out this wonderful home in person!
