About 1704 Russell Rd
Set along one of Alexandria’s most quietly coveted corridors, 1704 Russell Road presents a refined balance of charm, connectivity, and everyday ease. Perfectly positioned between the historic allure of Old Town Alexandria and the vibrant, village like spirit of Del Ray, this location embodies a lifestyle that is both elevated and deeply rooted in community.
Originally reimagined in 2018 with a full two story rear addition by Akseizer Residential, the inaugural project that launched what is now a respected custom luxury homebuilding arm of Akseizer Design Group, the residence has been thoughtfully designed with a natural, intuitive flow that balances formal and informal living. The main level unfolds with effortless continuity, where light filled living spaces transition seamlessly into an expansive kitchen and family room, all oriented toward the rear garden creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and elevated entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen and family room serve as a sophisticated gathering space. A fully integrated Thermador appliance suite including a 48” dual fuel range with steam oven, panelized refrigeration, freezer, and wine tower is paired with custom millwork by Akseizer Residential, offering tailored storage and a full height pantry. Quartz countertops with integrated sinks, a Waterworks brass bridge faucet, and a custom hood anchor the space, while a gas fireplace with a cast stone mantle and framed 65” display create a warm, refined focal point. Elevated supporting spaces include a bespoke butler’s pantry, designer mudroom, and a jewel box powder room are discreetly positioned to enhance functionality while maintaining the home’s elegant flow. Throughout, 7” wide plank white oak flooring, custom Quaker Windows, and whole house Lutron systems create a cohesive, elevated living environment.
Upstairs, the private quarters are thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and separation. The primary suite is positioned as a true retreat, featuring custom dual closets, Lutron automatic shades, and a spa inspired bath wrapped in Calacatta Gold stone, Waterworks fixtures, and a custom vanity. Secondary bedrooms and baths are equally well appointed, offering both privacy and flexibility for guests or family. The lower level extends the home’s livability with a generous recreation space, media area, and direct access to the rear yard creating a seamless indoor outdoor connection rarely found at this price point and location.
Equally compelling is the home’s site itself. The rear grounds have been intentionally designed as a private extension of the interior living space, anchored by a bluestone patio with a built in fireplace and outdoor kitchen featuring a Blaze grill, refrigeration, and integrated storage. Lush boxwood gardens and a full irrigation system frame the space, offering both beauty and privacy in an intimate outdoor setting ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat.
Modern living is seamlessly integrated through a fully automated home environment, including whole house Sonos audio, Josh AI control, commercial grade WiFi with exterior coverage, and direct Cat 6 wiring throughout. Just moments from the boutiques, acclaimed dining, and waterfront beauty of Old Town, and with seamless access into Washington, D.C., the home also benefits from proximity to highly regarded public and private schools providing an added layer of long term value within an already exceptional setting.
Here, mornings begin with a stroll to a favorite café, afternoons unfold along nearby parks and trails, and evenings are spent immersed in the timeless character of Alexandria. 1704 Russell Road offers a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Alexandria living where historic charm, modern luxury, and an exceptional location come together with effortless grace.
