714 Gibbon St, Alexandria, VA 22314

A rare opportunity in the heart of Old Town. Step through a solid wood front door with an oversized colonial-style brass lock into a dramatic three-story foyer crowned by an oversized skylight. Sun-filled rooms and classic craftsmanship set an elegant tone throughout. The living room features a 9'2" coffered ceiling, three-piece dentil crown molding, a bay window, and a wood-burning brick fireplace. Radiant-heated hardwood floors with a contrasting inlay add warmth and detail. A formal dining room showcases dentil crown, chair rail, wainscoting, and a seven-layer lacquered ceiling. The eat-in kitchen offers an antique handmade brick floor, coffered ceiling, and French doors that open to an all-season patio garden-perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, a front bedroom enjoys a private full bath. The primary suite includes a French door to a Juliet balcony overlooking the patio, custom plantation shutters, two closets, a seven-layer lacquered ceiling, and wide-plank hardwood floors. The adjoining full bath features a double vanity set in an antique-style cabinet. A bedroom-level laundry closet provides side-by-side washer/dryer convenience. The top floor is a showstopper: a third bedroom/loft with cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, and windows on all sides, plus a Nantucket-style full bath with shower, classic wainscoting, and storage tucked into the eaves. Outside, enjoy perennial gardens on the front, side, and rear-fully gated for privacy. Entry is via a private alley to two paved off-street parking spaces. A true "home for all seasons," designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining.
