509 Lloyds Lane

The rural feel of this in-town country estate is unequaled! Located on genteel Lloyd's Lane in the City of Alexandria, VA this almost -acre property is luxuriously outfitted with flower beds and a koi pond- where the living is as exciting outside as it is in! But first the sleepy front porch welcomes you to the extraordinary and charm-filled interior. High ceilings, period yellow pine floors and glass doorknobs, and though completely reconstructed in 1997 this property has a 1925 aura with boundless comfort and an extraordinary floorplan for entertaining. Sixty for dinner is no big thing! High ceilings, separate spaces and their connectivity add to the privately tucked away spaces, yet this residence is longing to host another wedding! The main floor features a thirty-foot art gallery foyer and formal comfortable spaces- living and dining rooms with gas fireplaces. The eat-in kitchen is overlooking the rear deck/ garden and attached is the pantry/ mudroom/ laundry and a warm and comfortable family room with fireplace. The study has a wet bar and a powder room is close by. Upstairs is the Primary Suite with two bedrooms and two baths and a 14 x 12 walk-in closet! There are two more bedrooms and a full bath on this level. Further on the next floor is another bedroom suite, an enormous recreation room/ studio and full bath. The finished lower level is home to unprecedented storage, another bedroom suite with full bath, a separate laundry and additional recreation room perfect for games and/or a screening room. The circular stone driveway can park a dozen or so cars while the entire property is securely plank-fenced with remote-operated gates providing security and comfort. Prime setting to let the dogs and children run! And its hard to believe this divine slice of life is in the middle of the city! And with that said- it is very convenient to multiple private and public schools and with close locality to Old Town Alexandria and Washington, DC.
