Very rare 2-story Penthouse in Portner house! Over 1600 square feet of space plus 350+ square feet of balcony space (see floor plans!). Built in 1999 on the site of the historic Joseph Portner Brewing Company, this boutique building offers the ideal mix of modern luxury living and all the convenience and charm of historic Old Town Alexandria. This condo is full of natural light - featuring an floor plan with soaring ceilings and fabulous windows. With new paint, updated lighting, new carpet and more, you can move in and feel right at home. Two private balconies make this a very special home - a smaller one located off the living and a very large balcony (with a hose bib to water your plants) on the upper level. The main level boasts a spacious kitchen, large dining area and a living room featuring a gas fireplace with built-ins. The primary suite can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and has two closets and a great en-suite bath. The private bathroom boasts a large bathtub, separate shower and a double vanity. A second bedroom and hall bath plus storage closets are also located on the main floor. Head upstairs and find a lofted family room (with access to the upper balcony) that overlooks the living room below. A third bedroom, half bath and laundry area are also located here. The upper level of this unit can be accessed from the fourth floor of the building or by using the stairs inside - a unique feature that allows for privacy. Park your cars in two assigned garage spaces (PH 35 and 36) and walk to all that Old Town has to offer. Directly across the street from Trader Joe's and close to a so many restaurants and shops, you will love Old Town living! Blocks to the waterfront/Mount Vernon Trail, 8 blocks to Metro, quick DC access, and a short ride to Reagan National Airport - this home is a commuter's dream. Welcome Home!
