Welcome to 1243 Portner Road, a classic brick townhome in the Nethergate community of North Old Town, featuring four floors of tastefully upgraded living space. This desirable floor plan boasts nearly 1900 square feet of finished space, including the convenience of bathrooms on each level. Off-street parking for up to two cars in the community lot is available to the home's residents. Entering the main floor of the home, you'll step into a gracious foyer. This level features hardwood floors throughout, a renovated powder room, a dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, and a spacious and inviting living space with high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors leading to a charming patio with a new pressure treated wood fence and Trex deck. Heading up one level is the stunning and expansive eat-in kitchen. The newly renovated kitchen features white Shaker-front cabinetry, gleaming Quartz counters, a white marble mini brick backsplash, under cabinet lighting, a generously sized stainless steel sink, and a second fireplace. The kitchen can easily accommodate a large dining table or island. Conveniently located off the kitchen is an updated half bath and the spacious and sunny dining room (which could also serve as additional living space). The upper level is home to two generously sized bedrooms, both with new ceiling fans and hardwood floors. The primary bedroom has lofted ceilings, two closets, and an in-room vanity. Here you'll also find a graciously updated dual-entry full bathroom. This bathroom features bright white subway tile in the shower, large format floor tile, and new polished nickel hardware. The finished lower level is home to a spacious multi-functional room with built-in cabinetry, well suited for a serene home office space. It could also double as a media room, home gym, family room, playroom, or guest space. A full bathroom with a walk-in shower is also on this level. The home's central location in North Old Town is convenient to Braddock Road Metro Station, Metro bus stops, National Airport, the GW Parkway, National Landing, and the District. Just a short distance away are Old Town and Del Ray's shopping and dining districts, farmers markets, coffee shops, grocery stores, parks, bike trails, and all the best Alexandria has to offer. * * See virtual tour to "visit" from the comfort of your home. * *
