Old Town

302 S Columbus

Alexandria, Virginia, 22314 United States

Nearly 2500 SQUARE FEET in this spacious, in-town residence. Rare opportunity to acquire a home in this unique , historic Old Town community. St. John's Square, a former academy, has been converted into residences and now just 10 homes comprise this special set of buildings. The beautiful, Italianate-styled structure, circa 1812, was reimagined into living space and a twin building was later constructed alongside the original. With parking for two cars for each of the 10 homes, the parking lot is at the south end of the campus. A lovely, central courtyard with a walking path provides easy access to all residents. 302 South Columbus, one of the larger homes, boasts 4 levels of living, 3 fireplaces, tall ceilings, handsome heart-pine floorboards and excellent storage. Many 1812 features remain, of note, 'wavy' glass window panes, and an exposed brick wall, formerly on the exterior. The primary suite features a fireplace, a large, renovated full bath and double walk-in closets. This sensational, well-located home will appeal to those who prefer an historic home with modern updates. The large, eat-in kitchen features a fireplace and is the heart of the home. The Family Room boasts the 3rd fireplace. Please refer to attached floor plan (in photos) for accurate square footage; city tax record is not correct.
