An extraordinary blend of historic character and contemporary refinement, this distinguished detached residence in Old Town Alexandria dates to the 1880s and has been thoughtfully transformed through an extensive renovation and expansion completed between 2022 and 2025. Offering nearly 3,200 finished square feet, four to five bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath, the home pairs the architectural details of its era with beautifully considered spaces and exceptional modern amenities. The dramatic rear addition makes a striking impression, with a wall of rare, floor-to-ceiling black Marvin windows and doors that flood the interior with natural light and open to the private rear courtyard. At the center of the home, the expanded kitchen and family room create an inviting setting for daily living and entertaining alike. The chef’s kitchen features custom inset cabinetry, Honed Danby marble countertops and a full-height backsplash, herringbone hardwood flooring, elevated hardware and fixtures, and a premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite, including paneled refrigeration and dishwasher, a built-in espresso and coffee maker, and a wine refrigerator.

Set above the landscape in Gladwyne, this dramatic contemporary residence is defined by extraordinary, miles-long views and an interior that feels equally expansive. Minutes from the Main Line’s conveniences yet seemingly worlds apart, the home pairs a crisp, sophisticated palette with exceptional scale, thoughtful design and an almost constant connection to the horizon. Double glass doors open to a soaring two-story foyer, where wide gallery-like halls and European white oak floors extend east and west. A dramatic two-sided gas fireplace, finished in painted brick and rising a story and a half, acts as a sculptural divide between the entry and great room, offering fire and sightlines to both spaces. Beyond, the great room opens through broad sliding glass doors to a deep terrace, effectively extending the living space outdoors. From here, distant rolling hills give way to city lights, creating a backdrop that changes beautifully from morning through evening. Beyond the great room, the dining room continues the home’s nuanced palette of whites and warm natural materials. Far from a space reserved only for occasion, it is designed to be used and enjoyed. As daylight fades, the room becomes particularly compelling, with illuminated views beyond and doors opening directly to the shared terrace for cocktails, dinner or evenings outdoors. The kitchen is striking in its restraint. Gleaming lacquered white cabinetry is paired with substantial quartzite surfaces, gently veined for subtle movement and warmth. An oversized island provides generous room for seating, preparation and display, while a professional suite of Thermador appliances includes full-size side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator and freezer columns. Against the polished cabinetry, a natural wood barn door concealing the pantry introduces an organic counterpoint. An informal dining area sits just beyond, as does the family room, open enough to feel connected to the kitchen yet sufficiently removed to allow several conversations, and several generations, to comfortably coexist. Privately positioned to the right of the foyer, the expansive primary suite continues the home’s high ceilings, European white oak floors and serene aesthetic. Two exceptional dressing rooms provide extensive hanging, drawer and folded storage; one is large enough to incorporate a full desk beneath a bank of windows, creating a beautifully integrated private workspace. Large-format tile introduces the primary bath, where two wall-hung vanities with stone tops, a soaking tub beneath the windows, private water closet and generous steam shower with body sprays and bench create a space that feels both architectural and indulgent. Southern views remain present throughout. Equally considered are the practical spaces: two powder rooms, a substantial mudroom, direct access to the three-car garage and even an elevated dog wash. Nothing feels incidental. Each element has been thoughtfully incorporated into the architecture of the house. Two separate staircases descend to an expansive garden level, where the sloping site becomes one of the home’s greatest assets. Rather than reading as a traditional lower level, these rooms open directly to another deep terrace and the landscape beyond. A central fireplace anchors a generous family room with multiple gathering areas and ample space for billiards, ping-pong or both. A built-in bar with glassware storage and refrigeration allows entertaining to move effortlessly between floors. Four additional bedrooms are found here, two with en-suite baths and two sharing a central bath while retaining individual vanities. A dedicated gym completes the level. Bright, expansive and finished with the same attention given to the main floor. The result is a home of unusual confidence: contemporary without feeling austere, glamorous without excess and exceptionally well suited both to large-scale entertaining and everyday life.
