Step inside a Del Ray treasure, honored in the 2024 Del Ray Annual Home & Garden Tour, where historic craftsmanship, timeless style, and thoughtful updates come together in perfect harmony. Beautifully maintained interiors showcase custom built-ins and original windows refurbished in 2019, highlighting the home's timeless character. Charming details abound,… Read More including an original fold-down ironing board recessed into the kitchen wall. The kitchen was thoughtfully bumped out to create a welcoming sunroom and entertaining area, perfect for gatherings or relaxing with family. Timeless Parisian-inspired furnishings and de9;cor throughout enhance the warmth and charm of the home. Sun-filled living and dining spaces with warm hardwood floors flow effortlessly, and the screened-in porch added in 2022 provides a serene spot for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, or relaxed evenings overlooking the lush gardens. A truly special feature of this home is the light-filled, fully independent mother-in-law suite, thoughtfully transformed into a charming rental or extended-stay space. With its own fully equipped kitchen and private entrance, it offers flexibility for hosting family and friends, generating income, or enjoying a private retreat - perfectly blending comfort and convenience. The outdoor spaces are as thoughtfully designed as the interiors. Elegant stone walkways and patios lead the way to a concrete and brick driveway with space for two cars. From the home, a back deck opens to a fully fenced backyard complete with an in-ground sprinkler system, creating an ideal setting for gardening, entertaining, or enjoying time outdoors. Of particular notice are the gardens, where roses reign supreme. A trellis showcases a Constance Spry climber, and another climbing rose on the shed comes from a cutting of a rose given to the owner's grandfather by her father. The gardens also feature peonies, bee balm, yellow Baptisia, pink yarrow, and a white butterfly bush. The green bench and fountain in the garden are a charming homage to the Tuileries Garden in Paris, offering a private, reflective retreat. Set in the heart of Del Ray, just moments from the neighborhood's vibrant ''Avenue,'' enjoy boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, farmers markets, and beloved community events. Walkable streets, welcoming neighbors, and distinctive homes like this one define why Del Ray is one of Alexandria's most sought-after communities. A truly rare Del Ray offering - beautiful, versatile, and rich with history, character, and thoughtful personal touches. Read Less
