A rare opportunity to enjoy sophisticated townhome living with sweeping water views, exceptional outdoor space, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Old Town North! Overlooking parkland and green space, this stunning residence in the boutique Printers Row community offers nearly 2,000 square feet of beautifully appointed interior living space, an extraordinary 850 square feet of private outdoor living space, and a front-row seat to one of Alexandria’s most exciting waterfront transformations.

Developed on the site of a former printing warehouse, Printers Row is a distinctive 20-residence condominium community combining contemporary architecture with the charm of Old Town. This three-level townhome, complete with a spectacular rooftop terrace, offers an inviting floor plan designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, abundant natural light, and white oak hardwood floors create a sense of openness and sophistication. The main living level features an open-concept layout with generous living and dining spaces and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring white cabinetry, marble countertops, a Wolf range, and a spacious center island. Just beyond the kitchen, an incredible 397-square-foot private patio provides a seamless extension of the interior living space and an idyllic setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The bedroom level offers two generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, including a lovely primary suite with a walk-in closet. Container Store ELFA closet systems maximize storage throughout, while main-level laundry with an LG ThinQ washer and dryer adds everyday functionality. The crown jewel of this property is the approximately 430-square-foot rooftop terrace, showcasing Potomac River views and views toward the U.S. Capitol. Whether hosting friends, enjoying an evening cocktail, or taking in the scenery, this outdoor retreat is a true luxury. With approximately 850 square feet of private outdoor living space across three distinct areas, this home offers an indoor-outdoor lifestyle rarely found in Old Town.

Parking is equally impressive, with a semi-private garage shared with one neighboring residence, an additional dedicated space in the community garage, and six visitor parking spaces. Condominium services include water, sewer, exterior and common-area maintenance, garage maintenance, secure bicycle storage, trash and recycling, snow removal, and reserve funding.

The location is extraordinary! Situated less than half a block from the Mount Vernon Trail, Potomac River, waterfront parks, and walking and biking paths, this residence places Alexandria’s treasured outdoor amenities practically at your doorstep. A neighborhood dog park and playground are just a block away, while popular restaurants including Hank’s Oyster Bar, Oak Steakhouse, Sisters Thai, Café 44, and St. Elmo’s Coffee are nearby. Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter are within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy a convenient, car-optional lifestyle.

Adding to the appeal is the home’s proximity to the former Potomac River Generating Station, just a block and a half away, where HRP Group is planning an ambitious 19-acre waterfront redevelopment. The proposed transformation includes more than 10 acres of public parks and open space, a Great Lawn, waterfront promenade, repurposed pump house amenity, kayak launch, and a vibrant mix of residential and commercial uses. With the Braddock Road Metro approximately an 18-minute walk away, convenient access to Washington, D.C., and Reagan National Airport just a short drive from home, this location offers an ideal balance of urban convenience and neighborhood charm.

Water views, soaring ceilings, designer finishes, rare outdoor living space, two garage parking spaces, and an exciting waterfront location, this is Old Town North living at its finest!

1385 Bishop Crest Ct. Alexandria, VA 22308

$1,499,000

5 BD | 4.5 BA | 4,879 SF

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and backing to trees, woods, and open space, this beautifully appointed NV Homes Empress II offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space, and indoor-outdoor living.

Built in 2016 and set on more than a quarter acre, the home features Hardie Plank siding on all four sides, 4,286 finished square feet across three levels, five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and an oversized two-car garage. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, but the home's incredible outdoor living spaces may quickly become your favorite feature. 

A recent approximately $150,000 investment created an expansive Trex deck and screened-in porch designed to be enjoyed well beyond the warmer months. An electric fireplace and four infrared heaters make the screened porch cozy on crisp fall evenings, while the peaceful backdrop of mature trees and open space creates a setting that feels remarkably private and tranquil.

Inside, the main level has every room you've been hoping for. At the heart of the home is an open-concept kitchen and family room, complemented by formal living and dining rooms, a private home office, and a mudroom conveniently located off the garage. The spacious eat-in kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, two ovens, and a pantry. Open to the kitchen, the family room is equally impressive with a beautiful coffered ceiling and raised-hearth stone gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space with views toward the home's wooded setting. 

Upstairs, four bedrooms and three full baths provide plenty of space and privacy. The generous primary suite includes two walk-in closets, while bedroom-level laundry adds everyday convenience. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility even further with a large recreation room, fifth bedroom, and full bath—ideal for overnight guests, an au pair, or extended family.

An additional approximately 500 square feet of unfinished space provides exceptional storage today with the potential to become a future gym, movie room, or other finished living space. Even the garage is noteworthy. At approximately 500 square feet, the oversized two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles along with bikes, sporting equipment, and additional storage.

Beautifully designed, thoughtfully improved, and surrounded by nature, this home offers the space of newer construction with a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. From quiet mornings on the screened porch to evenings around the fireplace overlooking the trees, this is a home designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.
