Coffee Shop of Choice:

Perks on Washington Street, just as you get to Old Town Alexandria is a great little independent coffee shop.  Hollin Hall Bakery to our south has great pastries and coffee.Favorite Restaurant in the Area: Old Town Alexandria is filled with great restaurants and parking is easy.   At the south end of Old Town (closest to our neighborhood) are two great restaurants, Faccia Luna for pizza and pasta, and Southside 815 for Southern/American cooking.Favorite Places to Go: Old Town Alexandria is close and is a great place to go for dining, shopping, or just walking around.  The Belle View Marina is a great place to launch a kayak or a dog into the river.  The Mount Vernon bike trail is just a few blocks away.Best Features of the Home: The house has been extensively customized with exquisite furniture-quality built-ins, cabinets and architectural woodwork including an incredible one-of-a-kind kitchen featuring custom cabinetry of cherry and apple wood from the Shenandoah. Other quality features include Architectural Series Pella windows, solid redwood and brick siding, gleaming hardwood floors on two levels, a convenient floor plan, ample room sizes, extensive storage space, a spacious screened porch, and terraced gardens.  The home also features panoramic Potomac river views in the winter.Favorite Room: We spend a lot of time in the kitchen and that’s where everyone congregates when we entertain.  The eat-in area is great for intimate dining (when the weather isn’t good enough for the screened porch), and it’s just a really beautiful and peaceful space.

Has there been any remodeling since you purchased the home?:

Most everything has been updated with exquisite custom features.  The owner is a professional cabinet- and furniture-maker and he has put his best work into customizing the home with beautiful woodwork throughout.  This includes a one-of-a-kind kitchen of cherry and apple wood cabinetry. A large master bath was added, complete with a soaking tub looking out at the river and garden.Most Romantic Spot: The screened porch is fantastic for romantic dining in the garden.What’s in the neighborhood?: Marlan Forest is a neighborhood of well-maintained custom homes near Old Town, Alexandria.  The neighborhood, which has been featured in the Washingtonian Magazine’s Best Places to Live, is adjacent to the George Washington Parkway, sitting at the top of a ridge that provides panoramic winter river views for a handful of lucky homeowners.
