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 with views of the Potomac. Dating back to 1803, the property where Clarens is located was once rumored to serve as George Washington’s hunting grounds/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 well house, and a carriage guest house with a loft bedroom, full bath, fireplace, and pool views. THE POOL HOUSE: Located 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.
