336 Commerce St

Bright and airy, this updated townhome with stylish finishes and open main level living is tucked discreetly on a cul-de-sac off Prince Street and accessible to numerous Old Town hotspots. The soft blue, newly painted brick exterior showcases the "Caliente" red front door, a shaded and inviting entrance bordered by raised brick flower beds. Both levels inside are bathed in light, the skylights above the center staircase filtering natural illumination throughout the home. The main level extends deep into the property, showcasing a living and dining room, and a kitchen with access to the backyard. Built-ins stand proud along the left side of the home, flanking the cozy wood-burning fireplace and encouraging the display of family collectibles, books, and games for all ages. The spacious dining room flows smoothly into the kitchen, renovated in 2020. The soft design features hues of blue in the subway tile backsplash and custom wall paint, playing off the natural shine of the Carrara White quartz countertops. Appliances are all stainless steel and include new GE microwave and refrigerator, installed in 2020, plus a discreet washer + dryer set under the counter. Walk right out to a secluded back patio, fully fenced, perfect for hosting during the summer entertaining season. Plenty of space for numerous furniture arrangements - set up a grilling station close to the kitchen for easy access to spices, design the seating area to surround a fire pit or add a picnic table by the far fence. The prominent center staircase, awash in natural light, features a custom detailed tile platform adding charm halfway up. A balcony wall above the steps overlooks the steps and highlights the contemporary chandelier, enhancing the homes' open and airy feel. Beautifully polished bamboo floors cover most of the upper level, leading into the second bedroom. An ideal office with a separate sitting area creates a cozy and attractive work-from-home option. The primary bedroom is private, around the hall corner, past more built-ins to add your personal touch. The hall bath, remodeled in 2019, features Ocean White polished marble tile in the shower and complementing Bianco Carrara Hexagon polished marble mosaic on the floor. The matching vanity pulls the room together and offers space to store extra toiletries. Plenty of easy parking right out front, with endless street parking around the corner for extra guests. Prime location in the heart of Old Town, walkable to grocery shopping, eating, entertainment, and commuter options. A 4 minute walk to Whole Foods Market on Duke Street - a quick trip for last-minute dinner! This home is surrounded by delectable eateries, whether you're looking for savory, sweet, or in-between, you're never more than a block away from the perfect meal. An excellent day care center is just down the street, and for those working outside of Old Town, walk 6 minutes to King Street Metro or the Alexandria Amtrak Station.
