Listing details for 922 Saint Asaph St, Alexandria, VA 22314 : You'll love this end-unit row home in Yates Gardens, the desirable Southeast Old Town subdivision known for charming, well-built homes with loads of curb appeal. This brick home will not disappoint. Situated on a picturesque, dead-end block with two service roads — and yes, private parking for residents — you'll be moving to a block that one resident brags embodies the difference between living in a neighborhood and simply having a street address. *** Enter the main level to a charming living room with a wood-burning fireplace. A broad opening leads to the dining room and on to a kitchen with white cabinets, Corian counters, and coordinated appliances (refrig 2024, dishwasher 2020). A pass-through connects to a wonderful family room addition, where light streams through a bay window and two skylights above, a second fireplace (gas) provides warmth and atmosphere, and the built-ins offer both open and closed shelving. A powder room is tucked in the corner for convenience. *** The upper level features three generous bedrooms and a retro-styled full bath. The original 1940s hardwood floors run throughout the main and upper levels, with tile in the kitchen and family room. *** There is a spacious rec room on the lower level, recently painted and updated with vinyl plank flooring. A laundry room, second full bath, utility room, and two triple storage closets (!) finish out the level. *** The generous lot is a nature lover's dream in the city. In front, seasonal tulips, azaleas, crepe myrtle, and multi-colored azaleas put on a show throughout the year. The path to the backyard is flanked by more perennials, irises, boxwoods, tulips, daffodils, roses and even a young magnolia and a prolific fig tree. In the backyard, you'll find a wisteria-covered pergola with a hanging swing and a shed for all your outdoor gear. Holly, oak leaf hydrangea, dogwood and lilacs provide a natural privacy screen on 3 sides and a beloved habitat for cardinals, robins and more. A handy back gate opens to the public alley for easy trash and recycling access and where you’ll find a concrete pad with anchor to secure – for example - a motorcycle. As you walk back up the steps to the back door, you’ll catch the glorious scent of honeysuckle. *** Located at the far southern end of Old Town, this home is quick on/off the beltway, easy walk to Jones Point Park or onto the bike path toward Mt Vernon, about 1/3 mile walk to King St, and even has local restaurants within 2 blocks.
