510 PENDLETON ST Alexandria, VA 22314

This one-of-a-kind architects home will captivate you with its perfect harmony of classic Old Town character and must-have, modern lux. The red door welcomes you in from the charming brick street to an intimate foyer that unfolds to a retreat of soaring ceilings, light-filled spaces, and a sophisticated, yet calming color palette. The main level of this four-level sanctuary begins with a spacious formal dining room that exudes a quiet opulence. Classic moldings, rich hardwood floors, and plantation shutters, found throughout, provide an ideal setting for memorable holiday gatherings.

The natural flow invites you into the stylish, eat-in kitchen well-appointed with new stainless steel appliances, lustrous glass tile, beautiful white waterfall quartz countertops, 42 solid wood cabinetry, and recessed lighting. The show-stopping quartz-encased island with an overhead stainless steel hood, contains a five-burner gas stove that will exceed the expectations of any epicurean. Then step down into the serene, southern-facing living room, with its marble gas fireplace, stunning chandelier, and six windows from which you can view the large, fenced-in backyard. Or go out to play through one of two access doors.

Take a peak in the discretely located half bath before heading upstairs where you will be seduced by the tranquil haven of the owners suite, offering three closets, one walk-in and two gracefully hidden behind a set of well-designed panels. The en suite spa-like bath is even more alluring with its corner of windows, timeless tile motif, and double vanities with granite tops and generous storage. Relax in the clawfoot bathtub, or under the new, extra-tall shower. Then, take in a quiet moment on the balcony. Emerging from the main suite, move past the conveniently placed laundry room to the other end of the hallway where you will find another bedroom bursting with sunshine, with a wall full of windows and ample closet space. Right next door is a full bath with on-trend fixtures and your choice of a shower or another opportunity for a tub soak.

On the fourth floor, an expansive loft space awaits you that is as versatile as it is sumptuous. Tuck yourself away in yet another sun-drenched bedroom just off the loft with an en suite full bath and walk-in closet. Or grab your favorite bottle from the wine fridge a necessity not a luxury and saunter out to the roof terrace a secluded venue built for pleasure, be it a party with a view, or intimate dinners for two.

The lower level is as exceptional as the rest of this high-design house. Can a basement be airy? Come see for yourself. The refined look is set with light hues and immaculate, premium cream tile. With its built-in speakers, the main space is primed to use as a movie room for your next screening of Casablanca, or can be transformed into an undisturbed office, a peaceful yoga studio, or a family game room. The lower level also provides one of the most coveted features in Old Town storage space.

This idyllic living experience is paired with award-winning restaurants, spas, and shops just five blocks away on historic King Street and its harbor; parks and riverside walking and biking trails three blocks away, and a grocery store and a pharmacy two blocks away. You also have easy access to National Airport, three Metro stations, and more. No wonder COND NAST TRAVELER named Old Town one of its 2021 top 3 best small cities in the United States.
