Property Status: Active Have you ever dreamed of living in Paris? You're in luck-your very own Parisian-inspired penthouse awaits in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. A rarely available top-floor penthouse offering an ultra-modern 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout with soaring 13-foot ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a home that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable. Beautifully balanced with warm, refined finishes, all set in a vibrant urban neighborhood just minutes to Old Town, Whole Foods, King Street Metro, Amtrak, the upcoming Wegmans, and endless shopping and dining. Recent high-end, designer renovations take it even further. Imported European herringbone oak floors, custom trim, and elegant shadow boxes add depth and character. The guest bath has been completely reimagined with a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower, floating vanity, and sconce lighting that sets the mood. The kitchen blends style and function with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The upgraded custom closet systems maximize storage without compromising design. Step onto your private balcony with sweeping views-the perfect backdrop for slow mornings, sunset unwinding, or hosting friends under the city lights. A garage parking space and private storage unit are included, with additional parking available for rent-an increasingly rare find. Residents enjoy top-tier amenities including a secure, upscale lobby with Amazon and dry cleaning lockers on-site and a beautifully landscaped courtyard with a tranquil water feature and new patio furniture-your own peaceful retreat in the middle of it all. Located just two Metro stops from DCA, Amazon HQ2, and the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, the convenience is unmatched. Opportunities like this don't come along often-this one is special and you'll feel it the moment you walk in. Office Phone: (202) 306-5413 Copyright © 2026 Bright MLS. All rights reserved.
