Exquisite Custom Home with Year-Round Potomac River Views
Nestled on one of Alexandria's most prestigious and exclusive streets, this stunning custom-built residence offers breathtaking, year-round views of the Potomac River. Designed with elegance and craftsmanship by its original owners in 2002, this home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated with over $200,000 in recent renovations and upgrades.
Perched above its neighbors, this home provides an unrivaled vantage point to watch the sun rise over the horizon each morning. Spanning over 4,500 finished square feet across three levels, it boasts a versatile and spacious layout ideal for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living.
Sophisticated Interior Spaces
As you step inside, you are welcomed by a breathtaking two-story foyer, where a grand curved wood staircase serves as a stunning focal point. The walls are elegantly adorned with intricate custom wall and picture molding, adding a touch of refined sophistication and timeless architectural charm.
The home features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and an oversized two-car garage. Its well-appointed floor plan includes a formal living room with river views, a formal dining room with patio access, and a graciously sized main-level family room, where three large windows frame stunning water views. A dedicated at-home office with custom built-ins and river vistas makes working from home a dream.
At the heart of the home is the 2022 custom chef's kitchen designed by esteemed St Clair Kitchens, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, including a Thermador gas range, 48-inch refrigerator, two dishwashing drawers + dishwasher, beverage fridge, and two sinks. The oversized Calacatta Gold marble island (2-inch thick) serves as a striking focal point, while custom cabinetry offers soft-close drawers and doors, a roll-out spice cabinet, a dedicated small appliance cabinet, and a pantry cabinet. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a sunny breakfast nook and the expansive family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and stunning river views.
Luxurious Primary Suite & Elegant Upper Level
The upper-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a charming dormer window nook--a perfect spot for a loveseat by the fireplace to enjoy the panoramic views. The spa-like primary bath, remodeled in 2017, boasts dual vanities, a frameless glass marble shower, heated tile floors, a standalone soaking tub, and a private water closet.
Outdoor Oasis
The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a full-length flagstone patio, a firepit, and an outdoor fireplace, perfect for crisp spring and fall evenings. Thoughtfully landscaped and fully fenced, the tiered backyard offers a large, flat lawn--ideal for a playset, backyard games, and outdoor gatherings.
This exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property in one of Alexandria's most sought-after locations. With its unparalleled water views, exquisite updates, and impeccable design, this home is truly a masterpiece and living on Southdown is a gift!
