About 533 N Columbus St
Built in 2017 by premier Washington Metropolitan Area builder Wakefield Builders, LLC, this exceptional Old Town Alexandria townhome offers approximately 2,700 square feet of beautifully designed living space across three levels above ground plus a finished lower-level recreation room. Thoughtfully conceived by architect Stephen Kulinski, the home showcases a creative open floor plan that balances modern livability with a deep respect for Old Town’s distinctive historic charm.
Designed and built to complement the surrounding architecture, the residence incorporates many of the timeless design elements found throughout Old Town while offering the space, light, and amenities expected in a newer home. East and west facing exposures fill the home with abundant natural light throughout the day, while beautifully hand-finished hardwood flooring and hardwood stairs extend across every level.
Decorative crown molding adds a refined architectural detail to the living room, dining room, and second-floor hallway. Two-zone heating and air conditioning provide year-round comfort and individualized climate control throughout the home. The main level features an inviting open-concept design with generous living and dining areas flowing seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless
steel appliances, a five-burner gas range with wall-mounted vent hood, a French door bottom-freezer refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. The family room opens directly to a private patio with a paved driveway for optional 2-car parking or expanded outdoor living space. Seller opted for the latter and created a beautifully landscaped, fenced rear yard, extending the living space outdoors.
Upstairs, the impressive grand primary en suite provides a peaceful retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and large primary bathroom, while a second primary suite offers exceptional flexibility for guests, family, or extended stays. Two additional guest bedrooms provide ample accommodation. A versatile loft adds another layer of living or work-from-home space, along with additional storage areas.
The finished lower level features a spacious recreation room with a decorative gas fireplace, along with a flexible fourth bedroom that could also serve as an exercise room, office, or additional living space.
With its thoughtful architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, abundant natural light, generous scale, and seamless integration of Old Town-inspired design with contemporary living, this distinctive residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of historic Old Town charm and modern townhome living.
