Listing details for 922 S Saint Asaph St, Alexandria, VA 22314 : Seller WILL consider BACKUP OFFERS! At 2,325 total square feet spread across three levels, this beautiful Yates Gardens home offers real breathing room — a more lifestyle-friendly layout than the typical vertical townhouse layout you'll find in the area. *** The main floor gives you two distinct living spaces to work with. At the front of the house, the spacious, bright, living room provides a warm and inviting entrance with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by large windows, plus an additional window facing the street. At the back, an airy family room addition centers on a gas fireplace framed by built-ins with space for both media and storage and a large window seat. A bay window and two skylights keep the room filled with light throughout the day. *** The dining room, lit by a double window, sits ready for both everyday meals and entertaining. The kitchen has a nook for casual table seating, Corian counters, extensive storage, a pass-through that opens straight into the family room and a large kitchen window facing a prolific fig tree. A cleverly designed powder room rounds out the level. *** Three full-sized bedrooms share the upper floor with a full bath that boasts retro artistic tilework and a total of 7 closets. Original hardwood floors run through both the main and upper levels (both of which have been freshly painted) with heated tile underfoot in the kitchen and family room. *** The entire lower level was recently painted and updated including new vinyl plank flooring. There is a separate, tiled laundry room and full, up-to-date, bath. To round out the lower level there is a utility room, and four triple-sized storage closets — coveted storage for seasonal or rarely used items. *** The house sits on a cul-de-sac with a private resident parking space in front. The lot is generous by city standards and has been nurtured by owners who built on the original flowers and plantings that make every season beautiful. Out front, tulips, azaleas, crepe myrtle, and a mix of other perennials keep something in bloom for much of the year. The path back to the yard is lined with irises, boxwoods, more tulips, daffodils, roses, and a young magnolia. *** The backyard centers on a wisteria-covered pergola with a hanging swing, plus a shed for outdoor gear. Holly, oakleaf hydrangea, dogwood, and lilac form a natural privacy screen on three sides and draw a steady population of cardinals, robins, owls and other backyard birds. Honeysuckle scents the walk up the back steps. Trash and recycling day is simple with a gate at the rear of the yard that opens directly onto an alley with no access at the far end so no traffic cutting through. There is a concrete pad that abuts the back fence that could store a motorcycle, grill or wood for the fireplace. *** Come by to see for yourself what 2,325 square feet of Old Town brick exterior, warm charm and hidden garden magic feel like. Check out this friendly block with a real neighborhood feel!
