907 S Saint Asaph St, Alexandria, VA, 22314

Subtle sophistication captures the vibe of this 1940 row home in the Yates Gardens part of Southeast Old Town. The exterior is classic in its simplicity; inviting, with a flagstone patio from which you can watch the world go by. *** The interior is full of contemporary features that will delight. The main level living room features a wood-burning fireplace flush with the wall, and dark-stained hardwoods that continue through the broad opening to the dining room. The dining and kitchen space feels open and modern. White cabinetry and quartz counters render the kitchen sleek with a touch of pizazz from the lovely marble backsplash in a herringbone Pattern. The appliances are high-end including a Wolf range, Kitchen Aid wine fridge and low-profile microwave. The sunroom addition in the back of the house is aptly named, with two walls of windows and four (yes, 4) skylights. The abundant light passes through to the Kitchen through a window and to the Dining Room through French doors. The sunroom is 3-season with use of a space heater in the winter, and with a ceiling fan, also comfortable in the summer, save for the hottest days. *** Upstairs are two quite generous bedrooms and a shared bath, nicely updated in earth tones. The lower level rec room has a built-in desk with surrounding shelving and cabinets. A full size window to a window well provides natural light. There’s plenty of storage on this level, between the spacious utility room and under-stairs storage. You’ll also find a chic full bath with glass shower. The (brick) walled garden in back has a bit of green space, a fountain for ambiance, just enough space for a grill and table, and a shed for outdoor “stuff.” If your stuff includes dirty or greasy thing you don’t want to drag through the house, you’ll be relieved that the back yard has (public) alley access just through the gate! The slate roof was replaced by the prior owners in December 2010. Other updates include refinished hardwoods (2020), front patio (2021), and primary bedroom blackout shades (2020). The lot extends into the access road in front of the home, providing for 1 private parking space.
