About This Property
Nestled in the heart of the illustrious Old Town Alexandria, 717 S
Lee St presents an exquisite fusion of historical elegance and
modern-day luxury. Located in the much-sought-after South Old Town
neighborhood, this residence radiates architectural grace
reminiscent of Alexandria's rich history, featuring original
hardwood floors, intricate crown moldings, and period-specific
fixtures. However, the property also embraces modern comforts: the
updated kitchen comes complete with newly installed granite
countertops, under-cabinet lighting, top-of-the-line appliances,
and energy-efficient features.
The second floor houses two fully renovated bathrooms, while a tasteful powder room graces the main level. Outdoor living is equally compelling with a meticulously landscaped garden, featuring a tranquil pond and water feature-perfect for alfresco dining or a serene afternoon retreat.
Situated just blocks away from the bustling King Street, the location offers residents the luxury of having renowned boutiques, cafes, historical landmarks, and the scenic Potomac River at their fingertips. Additionally, the King Street Metro station is nearby, ensuring effortless commutes.
The current homeowners have cherished living here for 11 years, so much so that they purchased their next home within the same iconic block. This particular street is legendary in the community, often referred to as the "Block of Flags" due to the patriotism displayed by residents. The block is also adorned with vibrant summer flowers, decoratively arranged in large planter boxes and evolving with the seasons. Moreover, it is the go-to block for Halloween festivities, as the street is closed to traffic to maximize the revelry.
As for the home's history, it was constructed in the 1880s and has been the pride of only a few families since. The residence underwent a significant restoration in the 1990s, during which it was separated from its adjoining home at 715 S Lee St. This renovation added a new kitchen and den on the main level, while the second level gained a spacious primary bedroom complete with an ensuite, vaulted ceilings, and French doors that open onto a delightful rear terrace and garden. A soothing Koi Pond, recently updated by experts, contributes to the garden's peaceful atmosphere. While the original Koi have found a new home, the pond is ready for new aquatic residents should you wish to introduce them.In terms of recent upgrades, the homeowners have invested over $30,000 in improvements in the past year alone. These enhancements range from fresh exterior and interior paint, a new AV air handler, to a newly installed washer and dryer in the cellar. A summary of all ongoing maintenance and updates is available in a detailed home legacy sheet for prospective buyers.
One of the property's timeless features is its original hardwood flooring, preserved beautifully throughout the home. Generously sized windows on three sides of the residence ensure abundant natural light, creating a radiant space to showcase your art and furniture.
