Introducing a rare opportunity to own a piece of Alexandria’s history, the magnificent Clarens estate spans nearly four acres of meticulously renovated and landscaped grounds. Named for the clear streams that once ran through the property, this stately center hall Colonial sits atop a scenic hill wi...th views of the Potomac. Dating back to 1803, the manor house was once rumored to serve as George Washington’s hunting lodge and later as a Civil War fort. Thoughtfully restored and modernized, it blends timeless elegance with contemporary luxury. THE GROUNDS: The estate’s grounds are a serene masterpiece featuring historic brick walls, stone paths, and manicured gardens. Highlights include a loggia, palazzo, four outbuildings (three historic), and a picturesque pond with a brick bridge. A circular driveway ensures convenience and accessibility, while the front iron gate offers privacy. Mature Tulip Poplar, American Elm, and Maple trees, recognized by the City of Alexandria for their age and size, enhance the estate’s grandeur. THE GARDENS: Renowned among garden clubs, the gardens feature various flora, including peonies from Dumbarton Oaks, hydrangeas, hybrid tea roses, boxwoods, and mature trees. A walled orchard boasts apple and cherry trees, and this vegetable garden is ripe to yield fresh produce. Built-in irrigation systems maintain the front circle, back beds, and pool grass area. THE OUTBUILDINGS: Four meticulously renovated outbuildings include a potting shed, a garden ice house, a former well house, and a carriage guest house with a loft bedroom, full bath, fireplace, and pool views. The Pool HouseLocated on the site of an old tennis court, the pool house blends seamlessly with the estate’s architecture. Features include a 24' x 44' heated pool with a retractable cover, a Jacuzzi, a brick fire pit, and built-in lighting. A trellised barbecue area with a flagstone patio offers shaded seating, a built-in Wolf grill, a fridge, and granite countertops. The pool house interior includes a kitchen, living room, laundry room, and full bath, with the second floor featuring a spacious bedroom, full bath, and panoramic views. THE MAIN HOUSE: Historic details meet modern comforts throughout the main house, which features seven bedrooms, five and a half baths, crown molding, keystone arches, nine fireplaces (seven gas, one wood-burning, and one decorative), original hardwood floors, and an elevator. MAIN LEVEL: Entrance Hall: A grand space with keystone archways and crystal chandeliers. Library: Built-in shelving, wood-burning fireplace, and adjoining custom wet bar. Formal Living Room: Gas fireplace, antique mantle, and French doors opening to the palazzo. Dining Room: Crystal Finials chandelier, hand-painted bird mural wallpaper, and gas fireplace. Kitchen: French country-style with a hand-painted La Cornue oven, granite countertops, farmhouse sinks, and premium appliances. Family Room: Natural light, French doors, gas fireplace, and views of the grounds. Main-Level Suite: Includes a full bed and bath, an office, and a walk-in closet– ideal for guests or in-laws. UPPER LEVELS: Primary Suite: High ceilings, gas fireplace, his-and-her closets, and spa-like bath with heated floors, soaking tub, and steam shower. Additional Bedrooms: Two bedrooms (one with en-suite bath), a second primary suite with jack-and-jill bedrooms, two fireplaces on the second floor, and a top-floor bedroom with a sitting area or playroom. Laundry and Living Area: Conveniently located near the second primary suite. LOCATION: Situated in the heart of the City of Alexandria, Clarens offers unparalleled convenience and tranquility.
