Property Description
Impeccably remodeled throughout, this 1,348-square-foot, three-level townhome-style condominium at 649 S. Columbus Street offers refined living in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Thoughtfully updated with a cohesive design and quality finishes, the residence combines charm and modern convenience in a highly walkable, commuter-friendly location. The main level was fully reimagined to create an open-concept living space. The professionally designed kitchen features 42-inch Shaker-style white cabinetry, a Bosch stainless steel range, microwave with vent fan, refrigerator, and dishwasher, white quartz countertops with a breakfast bar, decorative ceramic tile backsplash, and a stainless steel farmhouse apron sink with a stainless faucet. Natural light fills the space through the front window overlooking the interior courtyard walk, complemented by recessed lighting and refinished oak hardwood floors. The dining area flows seamlessly between the kitchen and living room, with decorative chair moulding, a silver and crystal Deco-style chandelier, and refinished oak hardwood floors. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a wall of windows, and French doors that open to the private rear patio. The fully fenced private patio offers a quiet outdoor retreat with brick pavers, river stone edging, and screened utilities. A rear gate provides direct access to the parking area. Additional storage includes a closet off the dining area and an access hatch to an expansive crawl-space storage room. The second level begins with a renovated powder room featuring beadboard wainscoting, black-and-white tile flooring, a pedestal sink, mirror, and sconce lighting. The spacious east-facing bedroom on this level serves as the owner's suite, with hardwood oak flooring and custom built-in closets lining the hallway to the en-suite bath, providing hanging space and drawers. The en-suite full bath is extensively updated, with a deep soaking tub framed in marble and positioned beneath a window, a separate large frameless glass shower with a marble tile surround, toiletry niches, a geometric tile floor, recessed lighting, and both overhead and handheld fixtures. The bath also includes louvered half-height shutters on both windows, glass ledges for open storage, a large vanity with granite countertop and porcelain sink, double mirrors with sconces, recessed lighting, and black granite flooring. The top floor offers a second bedroom suited for guests or a home office, with an east-facing window, a work-friendly nook, two closets with pull-out drawers, a modern overhead fan with light, and hardwood oak flooring. The en-suite second full bath includes half-wall beadboard wainscoting, a shower with white ceramic tile surround and glass door, black-and-white ceramic tile flooring, and a coordinating vanity with black granite countertop. Residents of Arch Hall receive two parking passes for the off-street parking area, accessed from S. Alfred Street. The monthly association fee covers water, sewer, trash and recycling, snow removal, exterior building maintenance including roofing, fencing and painting, common area upkeep, professional management, and parking. This central location is a short distance to King Street's shopping and dining district, one block to S. Washington St., as well as convenient to Balducci's, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Trader Joe's, Starbucks & farmers' markets. The location, while just far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel exclusively residential, is a commuter's dream: one mile to King Street Metro, and easy access to I-95/495, Route 1, and the GW Parkway.
