903 S SAINT ASAPH STREET

ALEXANDRIA, VA 22314

Joyful living permeates every inch of this handsome, well-maintained home, located on one of the anchoring blocks of Yates Gardens. Its stone façade adorned with shutters is raised above street level to encourage extended light throughout the residence, yet is graced with framing mature trees and rich groundcover. Ask the listing agents about the convenient parking located right in front of the property. Warm wood floors transcend the main and upper levels of this “thoroughly modern” and sophisticated two bedroom home where contented hours are enjoyed in front of the living room fireplace, festive meals are savored at the dining room table beneath chandeliered light and a refreshed kitchen produces epicurean delights galore. Let your mind wander to earlier times as you appreciate the gentle wood work seen in the formal rooms or gaze at the matching corner cupboards awaiting your own special collections. Easy to clean new vinyl flooring in the kitchen, stainless and black appliances, generous storage as well as sparkling quartz counters lighten any culinary task while offering access to the enchanting enclosed patio garden. Watch the seasons change from the upper level while viewing the charm of St. Asaph Street from the primary bedroom or the engaging garden from the second bedroom, while sharing the convenience of a full ceramic tile bath. The lower level provides options for increased living with a flexible space, perfect for the occasional guest with the adjoining full bath or as a recreation/family room. Separated by a half-wall is a laundry facility with side by side appliances enjoying natural light from two windows that extends into the adjoining space. Step through another door to find a utility room with additional storage, new water heater and furnace. Finally, be sure to see the cedar closet! The warmer months lure you to the garden where perimeter beds assure minimal but satisfying gardening framing a patio, perfect for lounging and al fresco dining. At the rear of the property is a covered porch with adjacent shed, permitting storage for bicycle and gardening essentials, as well as a door to the alley running behind this row of townhouses, allowing convenient placement of trash and recycling bins. Yates Gardens homes were originally conceived by the co-ordinated effort of Edward Carr and Louis Moss in 1940 to accommodate the growing need for Pentagon officers but today welcomes owners in search of a residence mirroring the architecture of early Alexandria and the camaraderie of affable neighbors. Its location, with parking directly in front of the house, encourages patronage of local shops and restaurants, attendance of children in nearby schools, enjoyment of natural recreation opportunities and easy commuting to Reagan National Airport, the District of Columbia. It is truly a treasure reflective of the city’s roots and ambiance. Contracts to listing agent by 2:00 PM, Monday, April 6.
