312 W Alexandria Ave

Located in a sought after enclave nestled between Rosemont and Braddock Heights this 1937 house with five bedrooms and three and half baths has been immaculately cared for and lavishly refurbished over the years. The main level has an outstanding floor plan that is the ultimate in flexibility with two rooms that can be either den, home office, au pair suite or guest quarters, one with a brand new state of the art designer bathroom. There is also a vintage powder room in excellent condition for guests just off the gracious foyer. An expansive formal living room has quaint built-in window seats flanking a fireplace as well as an additional full wall of built-ins perfect for displaying family heirlooms, artwork or all the books any book lover would have. A formal dining room is oversized making it perfect for the entire family to enjoy the evening meal or for more formal dinners. Please note all the molding and other trim accents throughout these areas. Best of all perhaps is a sunroom that is just steps away from both the living room and family room but also very private... The perfect getaway after a long day. The design of the kitchen is a true cooks delight. The work space is U shaped and there is natural light from the opening to the architect designed family room. The family room has sky lights and bookcases in addition to a wall of French doors that naturally illuminate both it and the kitchen. Best of all, pediment transoms coordinate with pediment bookcases... This is not the Harry Homeowner addition you see in so many houses. It's a special space that reflects the attention to detail the owners were sure to include in all updates they installed. The main level is extended outdoors via a massive deck that overlooks specimen plantings and is shaded by mature trees in a parklike setting. The second floor has a wide landing with two generous sized bathrooms- one completely updated as you would see in the latest design magazines and the second is in both vintage and in mint condition. All three upper level bedrooms have ample closet space and the largest bedroom can become an owner's suite with the simple opening of a door to the adjacent large bath. It also boasts gleaming hardwoods and all other hardwoods have been protected by walk to wall carpeting for years. Not to be missed is the spacious unfinished basement perfect for storage or finishing. It is county quiet but city close being within walking distance to the Braddock Metro. Also close to major commuter arteries including the Beltway and I-395. Open this weekend Sunday October 9 1:00 to 3:00
