In this week Under contractwe’re highlighting a 4,000-square-foot home in Alexandria that spent about a month on the market before finding a buyer just before July 4th.
A Month for an 18th-Century Alexandria Flounder House
A few blocks from Alexandria’s waterfront, this flounder house on a 4,000-square-foot lot sat on the market for about a month before finding a buyer just before the holidays. The three-bedroom home was renovated 20 years ago and updated with some modern conveniences, but the home’s 18th-century heritage is still evident in the wormwood chestnut doorframe, solid brass dolphin door knocker, five restored fireplaces and original heart pine floors. The kitchen features eccentric details, including a refrigerator with a locally hand-carved wood front, a custom steel grill range, a round center island, a wine refrigerator and a Colonial-era fireplace. An upstairs master bedroom includes a large walk-in closet, a sunroom that can be used as an office and an en suite bathroom with dual sinks, a separate water closet and a Japanese steel soaking tub. A rear garage has parking for two cars.
