Property Description
Surrounded by mature landscaping, fruit trees, and inviting outdoor living spaces, DreamKey feels more like a private retreat than a city residence. A greenhouse, wisteria-covered trellis patio, and distinctive two-story barn-style outbuilding create a setting rich with character and possibility. Whether you envision gardening, entertaining, relaxing by a future pool, raising organic egg-laying hens, or simply enjoying room to breathe, this property offers a lifestyle rarely available in Alexandria City.
Inside, timeless charm blends seamlessly with thoughtful updates. The kitchen has been refreshed with a brighter, modern aesthetic featuring refinished cabinetry and updated hardware. Additional improvements include renovated bathrooms, wide-plank hardwood flooring, updated HVAC systems, a newer roof with transferable warranty, new water heater, custom maintenance-free deck, stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, and designer range hood.
Natural light pours through oversized picture windows, while unique architectural details—including a secret book case, and charming porthole window—add warmth and personality throughout. The versatile floor plan offers exceptional flexibility, including the potential for a main-level primary suite and a lower-level bedroom with private entrance, ideal for multigenerational living, guests, an au pair suite, home office, fitness studio, or income-producing opportunity.
Enjoy easy access to Chinquapin Park Recreation Center & Aquatics Facility, nearby parks and trails, newly rebuilt public schools, Metro, VRE, Amtrak, King Street, I-395, I-495, Reagan National Airport, and all that Alexandria and the DC region have to offer.
Properties of this caliber and character seldom become available. DreamKey is more than a home—it is a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, flexibility, and freedom in one of Alexandria City's most desirable neighborhoods.
Open House Sunday, June 7, 2026 from 2-4 PM. Be there, or be square...
