Property Description

** Offer deadline Monday 8/25 at 2pm. ** Historic character. Modern elegance. Steps from everything. Nestled in the heart of the Alexandria Historic District on a quiet, one-way street, this lovingly restored 1890 Victorian row house offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and blends timeless architecture with over $150,000 in thoughtful updates. Inside, historic charm meets modern luxury. The reimagined main level flows seamlessly from a sun-filled sitting and dining area, adorned with a Serge Mouille mid-century modern light fixture and classic millwork, into a gourmet chef’s kitchen. Here, a large marble island anchors the space, surrounded by classic neutral cabinetry with brass fixtures, elegant Hinkley lighting, and thoughtfully integrated high-end appliances. With designer touches like the brass gooseneck faucet, open shelving and the custom hood vent, the atmosphere feels like it was lifted straight from an English countryside design magazine. Where the original kitchen once stood, you’ll now find a stylish mudroom and pantry bar with sophisticated blue floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a wet bar with wine and beverage fridge, and elegant cabinet lighting. A convenient side door offers easy access for grilling or letting the dogs out, while a discreet powder room with an exposed brick wall adds guest comfort and the homeowner privacy. The cozy family room at the back of the home is perfect for lounging with a book or movie night. The double doors open to a private brick patio and the yard is bordered by mature landscaping, creating a secluded oasis ideal for summer dinners under the stars. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a new custom walk-in closet and an expanded marble-clad bathroom. The second bedroom offers versatility with frosted glass bi-fold doors that can be opened for an airy, open feel or closed for privacy, and the custom built-ins make it ideal for an office or guest space. A large third bedroom and a newly renovated hall bathroom completes the upper level. Basement access is hidden behind a secret door and offers ample storage space as well as the laundry room. From your doorstep, Alexandria’s most beloved landmarks and countless restaurants are just minutes away. It’s also conveniently located near the King Street Metro, the Amtrak Train Station and local Whole Foods. 106 Commerce Street is more than a home, it’s an invitation to live the quintessential Old Town lifestyle. Mornings strolling King Street’s red-brick sidewalks for coffee and pastries, afternoons browsing boutiques or the Saturday farmers’ market, and evenings dining along the waterfront before wandering home through charming, historic streets.
