The most beautiful home on the most sought-after street in the City of Alexandria is available for the first time in over a decade.
Welcome to 408 Lloyds Lane! This distinguished 8,700+ square foot brick Colonial with a handsome slate roof has been meticulously renovated and expanded by the current owners to create an exceptional indoor-outdoor sanctuary. The three-quarter acre lot bursts with refinement and delight, inviting both relaxation and recreation. A welcoming brick walkway leads to the beautiful entry and adds to the semi-circular pea gravel Motor Court that accommodates up to 9 vehicles. Private, fully fenced and boasting mature hardwoods and ornamental trees, the property offers an inground swimming pool with separate spa, a Tennis/Sports Court, professionally landscaped Gardens, flagstone Terraces and fieldstone retaining walls. A charming Pool House with Half-Bath and Kitchenette completes the outdoor ensemble.
Inside, the elegant Main Residence features a gracious Entry and generous Living Room with gas fireplace. A spectacular south-facing Family Room and adjoining Kitchen, both filled with natural light all day, overlook and open wide to the rear terraces. They also lead to the Informal and Formal Dining areas, a handsome Wet Bar and a sensational two story Screened Porch with swing and impressive full height fieldstone fireplace. A welcoming Den and private Office may also be found on this level. They are situated on opposite ends of the home, as are two Powder Rooms. A Garage and Mud Room are added amenities.
Upstairs are five Bedrooms. The sumptuous Primary Suite with gas fireplace sets a luxurious tone with two Walk-in closets and a handsome marble Bathroom with heated floors and a steam shower. Four additional Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms on this level add privacy and comfort for everyone. The "piece de resistance" is an expansive Family Room with French doors that open to a generous balcony overlooking the gardens, tennis court and swimming pool. Presently enjoyed as an Exercise Room, this sun-filled and vaulted ceiling space invites a variety of uses.
The Lower Level, too, features fun. There are two large Recreation/Game Rooms as well as a Wet Bar, and 6th Bedroom with an En Suite Bathroom. One half Bathroom plus a Laundry suite with adjoining Sitting area and fireplace complete this unparalleled home.
