Colonial

Prepare to be charmed by this pretty, plaqued townhouse, ideally located in the heart of Alexandria's historic district. Period details and modern conveniences are apparent throughout. 320 South Lee Street was a welcome addition to Historic Garden Week's Old Town Tour. Special features include an elegant, light-filled living room with eleven foot ceilings and a handsome fireplace. The dining room, with a custom, built-in china cabinet, easily hosts a dinner for eight. The custom kitchen is designed with the cook in mind, outfitted with top quality cherry cabinetry and top tier, stainless steel appliances, including a 6 burner Viking range. A coveted family room is especially inviting, with its wood-burning fireplace, handsome built-in bookcases, a lovely powder room tucked in and a full sized coat closet. French doors, flanked by floor to ceiling windows bring year-round views to the private walled garden filled with established boxwoods and mature perennials. The second floor offers three flexible bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes a third (decorative) fireplace and easily accesses a fully renovated bath with a deep soaking tub, seamless glass doors and custom-crafted marble and chrome sink. The second bedroom, currently used as a cozy study, is easily accessed by the front or rear staircase. The third bedroom hosts extra-large closets and a marble clad, en-suite bath with a full sized, walk-in shower and free form glass and chrome sink.
