A Historical Alexandria Alley House
Located in the Alexandria Historical District, this carriage house is perfect for people who don't want a lawn to mow. When it was constructed in 1900, the property served as a retail store beneath a two-bedroom apartment. The tiled foyer leads to the huge open living/dining room with a clerestory window and a bright red standalone wood-burning fireplace, and the U-shaped kitchen nook opens toward the living area. A closet sits at the top of the stairs, and the landing is roomy enough to offer an office nook on one end and a skylit sitting area on the other. Each level has a full bath, and each bedroom sits under a half-cove ceiling, one of which has two skylights. There is also a laundry room with built-ins on the upper floor.

- Bedrooms: Two
