Property Description

A rare offering in Alexandria City, 406 Upland Place combines the timeless character of an Old Town-style residence with an exceptional double-lot setting, four finished levels, and a detached two-car garage—an impressive combination in an enviable location near Old Town, Del Ray, Metro, VRE, and so much of Alexandria.

Classic brick curb appeal and distinctive architectural details make an immediate impression, while mature landscaping and the expansive double lot create a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Inside, the home is equally compelling—deceptively spacious, filled with natural light, and rich with character across four thoughtfully designed levels.

The main level offers an elegant yet inviting backdrop for both everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood floors, graceful archways, and a wood-burning fireplace lend warmth and architectural interest to the living spaces, while the dining room connects naturally to the kitchen. Screened and open-air porches extend the living space outdoors, creating inviting places to dine, relax, and enjoy the surrounding grounds.

The rare double lot is a true standout, offering an exceptional amount of outdoor space for a close-in Alexandria City property. Generous lawn and garden areas offer plenty of space for entertaining, recreation, gardening, and outdoor enjoyment, while mature landscaping enhances the setting. A detached two-car garage with alley access provides coveted off-street parking and additional functionality.

Upstairs, the second level features three bedrooms and two full baths. The spacious primary bedroom is particularly appealing, with a beautiful bay window that adds dimension and natural light. Two additional bedrooms complete this level.

Upstairs, discover a private fourth bedroom on the top floor. Generously sized and complemented by two walk-in closets and a charming window seat with an open view, this wonderfully flexible retreat offers options for a bedroom, office, studio, or additional living space. The sellers previously enjoyed this level as both an office and an additional gathering space.

The finished lower level adds another impressive dimension to the home. A substantial recreation room offers abundant space for entertaining, media, exercise, hobbies, or additional living needs, complemented by a half bath, laundry and utility areas, and space for a compact office. Direct backyard access enhances the connection to the home’s expansive outdoor setting, while a mudroom entrance provides convenient access from the garage. 

Thoughtful updates include new HVAC in 2026, a roof dating to approximately 2009/2010, and windows and electrical work completed as part of the home’s extensive 2005–2006 renovation. 

The location further elevates the offering. The sellers particularly valued the home’s convenient access to Metro, VRE, Old Town restaurants and shops, and nearby Rosemont Cellar, as well as easy connections to Carlyle, Whole Foods, Bradlee Shopping Center, Del Ray, and the west side of Old Town. Major commuter routes provide convenient access to Washington, DC, National Landing, and beyond, with Reagan National Airport also nearby. 

With its rare double lot, deceptively spacious four-level interior, distinctive architectural character, generous outdoor living, detached two-car garage, and exceptional Alexandria City location, 406 Upland Place offers a combination of space, setting, and convenience that is truly difficult to replicate.
