Property Description

Will be on the market on Thursday, April 16th with photos to come! Some homes check boxes. This one creates a lifestyle. Set in a quiet, tucked-away Alexandria neighborhood, 803 Chetworth Place is full of character, warmth, and a layout that makes everyday living easy. From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniable—a slate mansard roof and classic casement windows create a timeless first impression, while a front yard filled with spring bulbs adds color and life throughout the seasons. Inside, natural light fills the home, creating spaces that feel welcoming from the start. The dining room features a dedicated dining space with a charming 1930s-style corner built-in, complemented by a newly added light fixture. New carpet leads to and continues throughout the lower level, adding comfort and continuity. Classic details carry throughout, including crown molding, hardwood floors, glass door knobs, and a collection of built-ins and well-placed closets that make storage feel effortless. Two fireplaces anchor the living spaces and create inviting places to gather, while the front garden offers a setting that is both easy to maintain and a pleasure to enjoy. The upper level offers two comfortable bedrooms with generous closet space, while the lower level expands your living options with a spacious rec room, full bath, laundry area, and a large utility room complete with a workbench—ideal for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. Life at Chetworth means easy access to the best of Old Town Alexandria, paired with a setting that feels private and quiet with minimal through traffic. Just one stoplight connects you to DC, yet you’re within easy walking distance to the river and King Street. The Mount Vernon Trail sits just across Abingdon, perfect for bike rides and waterfront strolls. Two nearby grocery options—Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter—along with local restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping make daily life easy. The Braddock Metro is just over half a mile away, offering access to the Blue and Yellow lines, while the GW Parkway, Route 1, King Street, and I-395 are all close by for seamless commuting. What truly stands out is the sense of community, neighbors gathered on the corner, people enjoying the nearby park, and a neighborhood that feels welcoming from the very beginning. Rich in history, this enclave is part of Fagelson’s Addition to the Dempsey Subdivision, a collection of just 60 homes with roots tied to a well-known local builder, adding an extra layer of character to an already special setting. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in, this home offers a setting that feels both connected and comfortably removed. Come see it in person and experience it for yourself.
