When describing houses, timelessness is a factor that comes up often — with varying levels of accuracy — but 202 W. Myrtle St. in the Rosemont neighborhood of Alexandria is one that truly embodies the word. This house features the subtle elegance of the Colonial-era architectural style without throwing it in your face — no white columns or elaborate carvings, just an unassuming grace that lives in delicate details like wide bay windows and the original brick fireplace.
The home has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a total of 3,019 square feet. The current list price is $1,490,000.
The living area is an open, airy space with crisp white walls and plenty of breezy windows. A large bay window makes for a cozy nook for a couch or a reading area where you can sit and look out into the yard, and glass doors open out onto the back porch.
Though the house was built in the 1923, a recent renovation means that the appliances in this kitchen are modern. The same aesthetic of warm wood flooring and subtle cream walls continues through the space, and a small breakfast nook just off the kitchen keeps the area connected to the rest of the downstairs.
The primary suite is one of the main highlights of the home. The spacious bedroom offers a private second-floor balcony. The second floor was recently expanded, to now hold four bedrooms.
The bathroom is a show-stopper with its classically beautiful marble tiling covering just about every surface possible, and a huge floating tub serving as a centerpiece.
The back of the home shows off that private balcony from the primary bedroom, and also boasts a covered back porch and a brick patio on the lawn, so there is plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. The fully fenced lot offers a private, secure space great for kids or pets to run around freely.
