Property Description

Yates Gardens homes in SE Old Town are known for their charm and this 3BR/3BA home does not disappoint. Up the front flagstone steps and path (with a small, adjacent patio for seating), the brick exterior has a whitewashed look and a brick front stoop shared with the house next door. Enter through a gracious living room with gas fireplace, open to the dining room with two large storage closets/pantries beyond. The kitchen is off the dining room and was fully renovated in 2022 with cabinets in a cerulean blue hue, and striking, floor-to-ceiling tile that gives the feel of an Italian villa. **** When the owners put on an addition at the back of the house in 2021/2022, they designed it to serve as a family room that could easily transition to a bedroom, should they eventually wish to live on one level – a feature difficult to find in an Old Town row home. A stylish full bath with stall shower (glass door) is situated off the bright room. Naturally, the layout offers alternate lifestyle options. If you want a guest room, but don’t want to dedicate space for that purpose, set it up as a Family Room with sleeper sofa or murphy bed to convert it to an ensuite guest bedroom when friends visit. Or if you simply want to enjoy the afternoon sun in a family room or office, with the convenience of a full bath for easy use after coming in from the great outdoors, this space is for you. You can exit the family/guest room to the charming, fenced brick patio and onward through the gate to the to the public alley behind the house – convenient, for example, so you don’t have to carry a bike or other gear through the house. **** On the lower level is a rec room with abundant closet space, a utility/laundry room with still more storage, and a stylish full bath fully updated in 2023. **** The generous primary bedroom on the upper level has a wood burning fireplace. Another spacious bedroom shares the hall bath that was refreshed in 2024 with in-wall medicine cabinets. Windows of the original house were replaced in 2023; and the slate (front)/shingle (top rear) roof replaced in 2022. Windows and roof of the family room/guest bedroom date from the addition in 2022. There is one private parking spot in the service road in front of the house. (Lot extends into the service road; City of Alexandria attorney letter available to explain parking situation on the block) **** The 900 block of S. Saint Asaph St is a dead-end block: a destination not a thoroughfare, with a refreshingly friendly neighborhood vibe. Easy access to the bike path toward Mount Vernon or Jones Point Park, and about 2/3 mile stroll to King Street. There’s a bus stop close by to get you to the metro, and easy access to 495 or the GW parkway to head out of town or into DC. Please ask to see the full list of updates and improvements.
