Property Description

Perfectly positioned on a prominent triple corner lot in the heart of Alexandria, 600 Upland Place is a truly exceptional residence where timeless architecture, thoughtful renovations, and an unbeatable location come together beautifully. Set in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods, this distinctive home offers rare scale, refined finishes, and an effortless lifestyle just moments from Old Town.  This is an extraordinary opportunity to claim one of the elite properties that backs directly onto the iconic George Washington Masonic National Memorial, with stunning interior and exterior views unfolding from multiple angles.

Expanded and meticulously renovated, the home features four bedrooms, an optional 5th, and four full baths across three spacious levels, with a layout designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. From the moment you enter, rich hardwood floors, classic plantation shutters, and beautifully proportioned rooms create an inviting sense of warmth and sophistication.

The main level flows seamlessly from the gracious living and dining rooms to a bright sunroom and into the heart of the home — a chef’s kitchen outfitted with premium appliances including a Wolf double oven and Sub-Zero refrigerator, granite countertops, and a generous island. An adjoining eat-in area opens to a large family room anchored by a fireplace, creating the perfect space for gathering with family and friends.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat complete with its own balcony, ideal for enjoying morning coffee while taking in views toward the iconic Masonic National Memorial. Three additional bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bath complete the upper level.

The lower level offers remarkable versatility, featuring a one-of-a-kind 2,500-bottle custom limestone wine cellar, featured on Houzz, a den or optional bedroom (with adjustments), and a full bath — perfect for guests, a home office, or additional living space.

Outside, the property truly shines. Backing up onto the Masonic Temple grounds, the expansive backyard feels like a private oasis with mature landscaping, multiple stone patios, and a charming playhouse, creating a picturesque setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation. A two-car attached garage provides rare convenience in this sought-after neighborhood.

Over the past decade, the owners have invested extensively in the home’s beauty and longevity, including a custom wine cellar installation, foundation sealing and insulation, a full-home stand-by generator, new windows, sunroom vinyl slide windows, extensive interior and exterior painting, patio and walkway restoration, significant landscaping, and structural improvements—ensuring the home is in exceptional condition.

What makes this location truly special is the lifestyle it offers.  The home is sited on a quarter-acre lot,  larger than comparable properties in the area, and because it backs onto the Masonic Temple grounds, you see the  additional open space, views of the City, and walking areas for pets and people. It is just blocks to the King Street–Old Town Metro Station, which makes commuting to Washington, D.C., the Pentagon, or Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport remarkably convenient. In addition, the nearby Amtrak station gives you access to the entire East Coast via train. Finally, the charm and vibrancy of Old Town Alexandria are just moments away—perfect for weekend strolls, dining, shopping, and enjoying the waterfront.

A home of this character, scale, and location rarely becomes available. 600 Upland Street Place offers not just a beautiful residence, but a truly exceptional Alexandria lifestyle.

Wine Wonderland

The custom wine cellar is a true showpiece—expertly designed and built in 2012 by Classic Cellar Design to blend modern sophistication with timeless appeal. Accommodating approximately 2,500 bottles, the cellar features handcrafted racking and a thoughtfully curated aesthetic, with white limestone flooring and surrounding walls that create a clean, elegant backdrop. Inside, a brushed zinc tasting surface adds a distinctive touch, designed to naturally oxidize and develop a rich patina over time.

Beyond its striking design, the cellar was engineered for optimal performance and peace of mind. A perimeter drainage system was installed during construction, feeding directly to a sump pump and keeping the space consistently dry. A split-system cooling unit, updated in 2024, maintains a constant 55-degree temperature and correct humidity—ideal for proper storage and aging.

Adding both intrigue and practicality, hinged bookshelf panels are seamlessly integrated into the design, discreetly concealing access to the home’s electrical panel and exterior window well without disrupting the cellar’s clean lines. The result is a tranquil, highly functional retreat—perfect for collectors and entertainers alike.
