About This Home

Introducing 721 6th Avenue East in Alexandria. This Victorian-style home presents a rare opportunity to own a majestic piece of Alexandria’s history. Built in 1902 by the prominent Noonan family, the home’s design influences ranged from across both the country and the world. The property has been loved and taken care of by the same owners for over three decades with a strong emphasis on maintaining and reclaiming the original character of this majestic and historic home. This unique property also provides the opportunity for a multi-generational housing situation with a full guest suite above the garage. The home sits on a corner lot that totals over half an acre, just across the street from the original creamery, and is anchored by mature trees and a stately-looking iron fence. We find a green and lush yard area that is highlighted by a meticulously cared-for garden complete with an outdoor fireplace and sitting area. Countless outdoor adventures have been had in the miniature playhouse as well. As we explore the home, we find a picturesque foyer area that immediately highlights the craftsmanship and impressive preservation of the classic wood. Entertaining options on the main floor are endless, with a comfortable family room with a gas fireplace or the stately great room that features a turret window, built-in bookshelves, and a large ornate fireplace that harkens back to another time. We also discover a formal dining room that provides walk-through access to the butler’s pantry and kitchen area. In the kitchen, we find a convenient blend of classic style and modern convenience with updated appliances, plenty of counter and storage space, plus a bonus sitting area with a fireplace. The main level also has an easy-to-access laundry room and half bathroom. Moving up to the second floor of the home, we find four same-floor bedrooms, which includes a primary suite with an oversized bonus sitting area and access to a pass-through bathroom. Don’t overlook the second three-quarter bathroom and flexible office area as well. As we continue to venture upwards, the third level of the home provides two more bedrooms and a large storage area. The extra storage area is helpful, but the basement of the home should be able to handle almost all of your storage and project needs. Downstairs we find an enviable workshop area that also has another three-quarter bathroom. Off of the main workshop is also a bonus flex room with egress windows that provide plenty of natural light. Moving outside, we find a two-stall, detached carriage-house-designed garage. Adding to the extensive list of impressive features of the home, the upper level of the garage was renovated into a cozy and inviting guest home complete with a bedroom, three-quarter bathroom, kitchen, and living room area. The “Noonan Home” provides a step back into history by combing timeless design and craftsmanship with modern convenience and amenities. All of this in a location that provides easy access to parks, downtown, retail, dining, and all that Alexandria has to offer!
