About the Listing CBRB54 - 18415

This distinctive top-floor, end-unit residence at Harbor Terrace delivers the character, light, and flexibility that cookie-cutter condo layouts rarely offer. One of only six homes of its model, this inviting one-bedroom with loft features windows on three sides, a wood-burning fireplace, and a wonderfully private setting just steps from a lovely, serene courtyard. Hardwood floors anchor the main living space, where natural light creates an easygoing setting for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. Above, the open loft offers valuable bonus space for a dedicated office, creative studio, reading room, fitness area, or cozy retreat with its wood-burning fireplace, a compelling feature for today’s work-from-home professional. The skylight adds a dramatic architectural element while bringing light into the heart of the home. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless-steel appliances. The layout offers the practicality of a one-bedroom home with the added versatility and visual interest of a loft, ideal for buyers who want a home with personality, not a standard floor plan. Set within Harbor Terrace’s nearly five-acre, garden-style community, this home enjoys a peaceful position near the landscaped interior courtyard. Mature trees, green space, a community gazebo, picnic areas, a wisteria-covered pergola, pavilion/patio space, and shared grills create a setting that feels removed from the city while remaining connected to it. Included are two off-street parking passes, plus a large, assigned storage unit. Located within Alexandria’s designated Old Town North Arts & Cultural District, the home is near the waterfront development along the Potomac River, including parks and mixed-use residential spaces. The nearby Mount Vernon Trail makes it easy to walk, run, cycle, or enjoy dog walks along the river, while the DASH and Metrobus stop at the community entrance. Alexandria DASH is fare-free, and the home offers convenient access to Metro, Washington, D.C., Old Town, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, grocery options, waterfront parks, theater, and tennis. Harbor Terrace offers a pet-friendly, lock-and-go lifestyle with an in-unit washer/dryer, a dedicated storage unit, bicycle storage, a fitness room, and outdoor gathering spaces. A home for buyers seeking light, architectural interest, outdoor access, and an authentic North Old Town lifestyle—offered at $415,000.
