About the Listing SERH2 - 17447

Tucked away at the end of a quiet street, 604 Melrose Street is one of those homes that surprises you from the moment you step inside. Set on a beautifully landscaped 10,000-square-foot lot, this classic brick Colonial offers an unexpectedly open and versatile floor plan, wonderful natural light and exceptional indoor-outdoor living—all in an incredibly convenient Alexandria location. The main level is designed with an easy circular flow, creating spaces that feel connected yet distinct. The inviting living room features hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace and opens to a light-filled sunroom surrounded by windows—the perfect home office, reading room or quiet retreat. At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, soapstone countertops, built-ins and an oversized island with seating. Just beyond, a spacious rear addition dramatically expands the living space with an open family room and dining area. Recessed lighting, bay windows and French doors fill the space with natural light while providing beautiful views and direct access to the deck and backyard. A convenient mudroom and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet and private bath. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath provide plenty of room for family, guests or additional work-from-home space. The newly renovated lower level adds another layer of flexibility. Finished with tile flooring, it includes a recreation room, full bath and private guest/au pair suite with its own exterior entrance—ideal for extended stays, guests or a more independent living arrangement. And then there is the backyard. Mature trees frame the expansive lawn, creating a wonderfully private setting rarely found this close to the city. Tiered decks provide multiple areas for outdoor dining, grilling, entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. With off-street parking and easy access to Metro, parks, commuter routes and the shops and restaurants of Old Town, Del Ray and Shirlington, 604 Melrose offers the best of both worlds: space and privacy at home, with everything Alexandria has to offer just minutes away.
