This week's Best New Listings includes a home near the Alexandria waterfront that used to be a tobacco warehouse, a sunny Metro Center loft and a four-bedroom Silver Spring cottage.
Tobacco Warehouse Turned Luxury
Located just steps from the Alexandria waterfront, this four-bedroom home has historic roots as it was formerly a tobacco warehouse. Original wooden beams and hardwood floors are baked into the renovations, and traditional fireplaces and aged brick walkways allude to its history. The primary living room has soaring ceilings with skylights, painted friezes from an old nearby court building, an exit to a balcony and a tilted brick wall section that may have been part of a fireplace chimney. The home's top floor has been retrofitted into an attic bedroom with soaring views of the river. A sunroom on the main floor looks onto the enclosed backyard, featuring a brick patio space, a gazebo and a lawn area.
