Immerse yourself in upscale comfort at the MUSE, a premier waterfront condominium in Old Town Alexandria’s thriving Arts District. Light-filled and refined, this waterfront two-bedroom, two-bath over 1600 sq. ft. residence is framed by soaring 10+ foot ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living areas and bedrooms, creating an airy, light-infused atmosphere throughout. Porcelain tile floors imported from Italy extend seamlessly throughout the home, offering both modern elegance and exceptional durability. A generous balcony is accessed from the living room, both with river views.

Designed for the discerning chef, the open-concept kitchen showcases sophisticated Italian Snaidero cabinetry—the top cabinets have been upgraded to a sleek high-gloss finish for a striking contemporary look—alongside premium Bosch appliances and upgraded quartz countertops and quartz backsplash. An oversized island with deep storage drawers including internal drawers, counter seating, and a built-in wine cooler anchors the beautiful open layout.

Unwind in the private primary suite, highlighted by great views, two custom walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a dual-sink vanity, LED backlit mirrors, and tile extended to walls. The spacious second bedroom with walk-in closet is situated on the opposite side of the home, increasing privacy in both bedrooms. Additional full bath, laundry room, and custom built desk nook with Snaidero cabinetry complete the home.

Included with this residence are two rare perks for condominium living: a large storage unit and two assigned garage parking spaces in a prime location, delivering a true lock-and-leave lifestyle.

Meanwhile, MUSE pampers residents with exceptional amenities. A 24-hour concierge, on-site manager, and building engineer ensure effortless living, while the penthouse clubroom—complete with a full kitchen, outdoor grills, and generous indoor and outdoor seating—offers breathtaking panoramas of DC’s monuments, the Potomac River, and Old Town’s skyline. A penthouse-level fitness center and yoga studio, with an outdoor training terrace and state-of-the-art equipment, make it easy to stay active year-round.

Positioned just steps from the Mount Vernon Trail and moments from vibrant Old Town’s shops, restaurants, Saturday Farmer’s Market, Metro access, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Amazon HQ2, National Harbor, and Washington, DC, MUSE flawlessly merges convenience, modern design, and upscale amenities.

If you’ve been dreaming of a refined waterfront sanctuary in Old Town, don’t let this rare opportunity pass you by.
