Set on one of the most desirable streets in Alexandria’s sought-after Villamay neighborhood, 1214 Belle Vista Drive is a timeless all-brick home that perfectly blends classic charm with modern updates. With over 3,300 square feet of finished living space on a flat, .35-acre lot, this residence offers both comfort and convenience just minutes from the Potomac River, scenic parks, and historic Old Town.

A formal dining room with a bar/butler’s station provides the perfect setting for gatherings, and a mudroom with cubbies offers everyday convenience.

Upstairs, three generous bedrooms include the primary suite with a walk-in closet and an expanded spa-like bathroom featuring dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, a separate toilet room, and abundant storage. The updated hall bathroom includes dual sinks and a tub/shower combination.
