The rural feel of this in-town country estate is unequaled! A quick 10 minutes to DCA this opportunity has all of the details you were looking for! Located on genteel Lloyd's Lane in the City of Alexandria, VA this almost 1/2 acre property is luxuriously outfitted with flower beds and a koi pond- where the living is as exciting outside as it is in! Remote, secure and serene- the entire property features wood plank fencing accessible through remote gates. The sleepy front porch welcomes you to the extraordinary and charm-filled interior. There are high ceilings, vintage pine floors, glass doorknobs, and custom details throughout. Built in 1997 this property has a 1925 aura with boundless comfort and an exceptional floorplan for entertaining. The owner has designed each detail and the outcome is astounding. Incredible flow for entertaining- and comfort for calm privacy! Yet this residence is longing to host another wedding! The main floor features a thirty-foot art gallery foyer, high ceilings and formal spaces including separate living and dining rooms with gas fireplaces. The eat-in updated white kitchen with quartz island is sparkling and overlooks the rear deck/ garden. Attached is the pantry/ mudroom/ laundry and a warm and pleasant family room with fireplace. The study has a wet bar and a powder room is close by. Upstairs is the Primary Suite with a foyer that connects two bedrooms (or office), two baths and a 14 x 12 walk-in closet! There are two more bedrooms and a full bath on this level. Further on the next floor is another bedroom suite, an enormous play room/ studio and full bath. The finished lower level is home to unprecedented storage, another bedroom suite with full bath (nanny, in-law) with a separate exterior entrance, a separate laundry and additional recreation room perfect for games and/or a screening room. The circular stone driveway can park a dozen or so cars. This prime setting is perfect to let the dogs and children run! And it's hard to believe this divine slice of life is in the middle of the city! With that said- it is very convenient to multiple private and public schools and with close locality to Old Town Alexandria and Washington, DC.
