Neighborhood Spotlight: Old Town North
Old Town North: home to a growing arts district and vibrant Alexandria neighborhood! With new development projects and local businesses eyeing Old Town North for their growing future, buyers are looking closer at the area's mix of residential offerings to call home.
Old Town North is becoming even more desirable as its community develops. Farmer's markets, public art programs, summer concerts series, business showcases, and the diverse restaurant scene contribute to the neighborhood's quality. The boundaries of Old Town North are marked as everything east of North Washington Street (the George Washington Parkway) and north of Oronoco Street. If you haven't journeyed into upper Old Town, I encourage you to take a walk by the waterfront, explore the art installations, and enjoy its many restaurants and cuisines.
Old Town North is also home to our newest listing! Nestled in the sought-after Rivergate waterfront community, 117 Montgomery Place offers inspiring living with Potomac River views from this incomparable home. Our sellers have spared no expense in totally renovating from top to bottom, with over $300k in recent improvements to this home, which offers three bedrooms and four full and one-half baths. This model is one of the largest homes in the community, and its main level has been reconfigured by removing walls and upgrading to a commercial quality kitchen with Wolf and SubZero appliances, including a convection steam oven. This four-level home features hardwood floors throughout and luxury vinyl plank in the lower level. From the main level and primary bedroom, enjoy sparkling views of the Potomac River. Each bath has been meticulously remodeled, and recessed lighting has been added throughout the home. The Rivergate community is only an eight-minute ride to Washington National Airport and just blocks from Old Town North shopping and dining. Its location presents an easy, turnkey lifestyle, steps from walking paths and dog parks along the river.
