Historic authenticity meets sophisticated modern design at Residence 105 at The Mill, an exceptional 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a private terrace in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Once part of the historic Mount Vernon cotton factory, this landmark property was thoughtfully transformed in 2021 into an intimate collection of just 25 distinctive loft-style residences. This is authentic loft living. Original exposed brick, dramatic timber beams, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows create a character and sense of place that simply cannot be replicated in conventional condominium construction. The open living and dining areas flow naturally into a thoughtfully renovated kitchen featuring contemporary cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and clean modern finishes. A rare private terrace extends the living experience outdoors, creating an inviting setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet moment in Old Town. The primary suite is a warm retreat framed by the home's historic architecture, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Two full baths, in-unit laundry, and a recently replaced HVAC system add everyday comfort and convenience while complementing the home's carefully preserved character. The Mill offers the appeal of boutique living with secured assigned parking and a pet-friendly environment. Just outside, a beautifully landscaped park features seating areas, a BBQ station, and a fire pit, creating a natural extension of the community's outdoor lifestyle. These attributes reinforce exactly what distinguishes the property from larger, more conventional alternatives.  Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, the waterfront, and the shops and restaurants of King Street are all moments away, offering the walkable Old Town lifestyle buyers seek while providing a home that feels decidedly different from the expected. For the buyer who values architectural character over excess, boutique scale over a large condominium community, and a home with a genuine story, Residence 105 offers something increasingly difficult to find. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Alexandria history, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living. Potentially assumable VA loan at an attractive 3.75% interest rate, subject to buyer eligibility and applicable lender and VA requirements. Contact listing agent for additional details.
