About This Property

Welcome to DreamKey—a rare opportunity to enjoy the freedom, privacy, and space of country living while remaining just minutes from Old Town Alexandria and Washington, DC. Tucked away on a quiet, non-cut-through street in the coveted Ballantrae neighborhood, this remarkable property offers something increasingly difficult to find inside the Beltway: a beautifully landscaped .64-acre corner lot, exceptional flexibility, and no HOA. No compromises. No limits on how you enjoy your property. Surrounded by mature landscaping, fruit trees, and inviting outdoor living spaces, DreamKey feels more like a private retreat than a city residence. A greenhouse, wisteria-covered trellis patio, and distinctive two-story barn-style outbuilding create a setting rich with character and possibility. Whether you envision gardening, entertaining, relaxing by a future pool, raising organic egg-laying hens, or simply enjoying room to breathe, this property offers a lifestyle rarely available in Alexandria City. Inside, timeless charm blends seamlessly with thoughtful updates. The kitchen has been refreshed with a brighter, modern aesthetic featuring refinished cabinetry and updated hardware. Additional improvements include renovated bathrooms, wide-plank hardwood flooring, updated HVAC systems, a newer roof with transferable warranty, new water heater, custom maintenance-free deck, stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, and designer range hood. Natural light pours through oversized picture windows, while unique architectural details—including a secret book case, and charming porthole window—add warmth and personality throughout. The versatile floor plan offers exceptional flexibility, including the potential for a main-level primary suite and a lower-level bedroom with private entrance, ideal for multigenerational living, guests, an au pair suite, home office, fitness studio, or income-producing opportunity. Enjoy easy access to Chinquapin Park Recreation Center & Aquatics Facility, nearby parks and trails, newly rebuilt public schools, Metro, VRE, Amtrak, King Street, I-395, I-495, Reagan National Airport, and all that Alexandria and the DC region have to offer. Properties of this caliber and character seldom become available. DreamKey is more than a home—it is a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, flexibility, and freedom in one of Alexandria City's most desirable neighborhoods. Open House Sunday, June 7, 2026 from 2-4 PM. Be there, or be square...
