About This Home

Welcome to 611 E. Howell Ave—a rarely available 4-level corner townhouse built in 2015, featuring 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a 2-car garage, private courtyard, and expansive rooftop terrace in the heart of Alexandria’s sought-after Potomac Yard. Spanning approximately 3,600 square feet and 24 feet wide, this exceptional home lives more like a detached residence. Rich hardwood floors, recessed lighting, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows create bright, inviting living spaces throughout. The main level features 10-foot ceilings and an open-concept layout ideal for modern living and entertaining. The oversized living and dining areas flow into the gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, a large island, and premium KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner gas range, wall oven, microwave, oversized refrigerator, and beverage fridge. A powder room and multiple closets complete the level. Just off the kitchen, the private courtyard with stone pavers offers gas and water connections—ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond is the detached 2-car garage with epoxy flooring, automatic opener, and Proslat organization system. Above the garage, a fully independent studio suite with a full bath, granite counters, and beverage fridge provides flexible space for a guest suite, au pair, home office, or gym. The second level features 9-foot ceilings and an oversized primary suite with two large closets and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower with dual heads. An additional bedroom offers flexibility for a nursery, office, or retreat. The third level includes a spacious bonus room, two additional bedrooms, full bath, linen closet, and laundry with large-capacity LG washer/dryer. The rooftop terrace spans the entire footprint and includes gas and water connections, offering expansive outdoor living with sweeping views of Alexandria and Washington, DC. Additional features include noise-reducing windows, keyless entry, and single-owner occupancy. HOA covers landscaping and snow removal. Ideally located near Potomac Yard Metro, shopping, dining, Amazon HQ2, INOVA medical complex, Virginia tech campus, Old Town, Del Ray, and Reagan National Airport.
