Set on beloved Oak Street in Rosemont, this storybook 1930 "Mitchell" model Sears bungalow is a rare intersection of American architectural history and modern, discerning design. Delivered by rail nearly a century ago, the home has been preserved, enhanced, and elevated with deep respect for its original footprint and architectural soul. Every improvement honors what makes Rosemont enduring while layering in luxury finishes and intentional design choices feeling timeless rather than trendy.
From the original arched wood door and vestibule mail slot to curated lighting, bespoke millwork, and thoughtful material selections, the home reflects confident, careful stewardship. The main level lives graciously with light-filled entertaining spaces, an exquisitely appointed kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and a classically designed bath. The fully remodeled lower level delivers unexpected flexibility with a proper third bedroom and egress, a cinema-worthy family room, a honed marble wet bar with refrigerator drawers, a spa-level bath with an imported English copper soaking tub, and a dedicated office. The current owners have continued the legacy of thoughtful care, investing over $65,000 in recent improvements including new gutters, fencing, lush plantings, upgraded lighting, a security system with cameras, and a fully floored attic. After settling in, the sellers recognized their evolving family dynamic requires a larger footprint. Their time here has been spent enhancing and protecting the home, ensuring its next steward benefits from both historic charm and modern comfort. This Oak Street jewel offers preserved history, modern livability, and an irreplaceable setting in one of Alexandria City's most tightly held neighborhoods.
