This oasis of tranquility in Alexandria, Virginia is nestled in the shadow of the Potomac River near the American Horticultural Society and what was once called the Collingwood Library.
This classic brick center hall colonial has an open floor plan. It has been totally renovated to perfection for today’s most discriminating buyer.

The great room is open to the kitchen with granite counter tops, a glass tile backsplash, center island with utility sink and walk-in pantry. The screened porch off the kitchen begs you to stop what you’re doing and absorb the natural beauty of the gardens below.
The entertainment area, off the Great Room, with granite buffet counter, wet bar, and icemaker off the Great Room leads to the covered outdoor kitchen/patio area with wood burning fireplace, slate floor, ceiling fans and six heaters.
