22 E WINDSOR AVE

One of Del Ray’s most historically significant properties, this classic Folk Victorian house was built in 1895 and is one of the few Del Ray homes built before the turn of the century. Rich wood siding, fish scale accents, gabled elevation and a second story balcony makes this home among Del Ray’s most distinctive. While the property has been updated, extended and modernized, many unique touches, such as original oak and pine hardwood floors, detailed hinges, door hardware and curved plaster walls, remain. With an estimated 2,034 sq ft of finished living space, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, a sun-washed living room with corner wood-burning fireplace (with chimney liner), an interchangeable dining and family room, and a breakfast area. The updated kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and pantry space, soapstone counters, Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances and LG front loading washer and dryer. Further features include a spacious renovated bathroom, extensive storage, thermal replacement windows (original windows convey as-is), built-in bookcase by Tom Welsh of Welsh Woodworking, Elfa closets, newer water heater and HVAC units, recently painted metal roof, brand new carpets and freshly painted throughout. Situated on a double lot, the exterior is extensive and offers a substantial sized garden with mature landscaping, French drains, a wooden shed with fitted shelves, an oversized patio shaded with an awning, and off-street parking for two cars. Subject to planning permission, the property has immense potential for future expansion. The location in the heart of Del Ray is highly desirable and hard to beat - just two blocks from the shops and restaurants of Mr. Vernon Avenue and a short distance to the Pentagon, DC and Old Town Alexandria.
