Property Description

Welcome to 116 Cameron Mews, a truly special home tucked inside one of Old Town’s most cherished enclaves, just half a block from the Potomac River. This 4-bedroom, 3 full + 2 half bath brick townhome offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, smart upgrades, and a private, leafy courtyard setting you rarely find in the city. It’s that magical combination: historic soul meets everyday livability. **Step inside to discover a layout that flows—but doesn’t scream open concept. The updated kitchen and dining room (renovated to the tune of $120K) feel fresh and connected, with classic separation that makes entertaining easy (and quiet when the dishwasher's running!). French doors open from the dining room to the patio, where mature trees—including a crepe myrtle planted with love—filter dappled southern light across the garden. It’s serene in summer, cozy in winter, and ideal year-round for meals, reading, or wine with friends. **The living room and adjoining den upstairs provide even more flexibility, with another set of French doors and a second half bath. There are three full bathrooms throughout the home—one en-suite with a shower, two more with tub/shower combos—all thoughtfully updated (including a recent $6K bath reno). Hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout keep things stylish and warm. **Privacy? You’ve got it. With four full levels—including a top floor that mirrors the third—you can work, play, host, and relax without tripping over one another. And speaking of space: the fully built-out attic (approx. 500 sq ft of full standing height!) is a hidden gem. Think gym, studio, home office, playroom—whatever you need. It’s currently immaculate storage, with custom shelving, drawers, and lighting. There’s even a partitioned garden shed tucked away for tools and trash. No basement? No problem. **Updates include a newer HVAC system, furnace, heat pump (all 2018), water heater (2020), Bosch washer (2024), and a Bosch induction cooktop (2021). The home is solid, quiet, and sound-insulated in a way that newer builds just can’t match. There are two wood-burning fireplaces, and an assigned parking space (#12) in the private Mews lot off Lee Street, plus guest spots. **Beyond the front door, life at Cameron Mews is full of beauty, history, and connection. You’re a stone’s throw from the waterfront trail, Oronoco Bay Park’s summer concerts and fireworks, sunrise over the river, and sunset glowing down Cameron Street. Stroll to coffee, dinner, shops, and galleries. The neighbors are friendly (but not nosy), the courtyard of the community was lovingly maintained (with landscaping planted by the current owner), and HOA dues are low at $1,500/year. Flood insurance? Yes—$1,500/year. Worth every penny to live in this rare Old Town setting where nature, history, and community all converge.This is a home that has gracefully adapted to every chapter—hosting holidays, raising a family, building a creative life, and embracing the vibrancy of Alexandria. Now, it’s ready for yours. Ready to experience life at Cameron Mews? Let’s make it yours. ***Special Note - The owners of 36 years, architect Allan Greenberg and artist Judith Seligson have curated a special blend of early American architectural charm and smart upgrades. For them as for so many residents of Cameron Mews, the indoor/outdoor flow from kitchen to dining room to patio, is a cherished feature of their homes. The private one-block long leafy courtyard, rarely found in the city, reflects the careful attention to upkeep and landscaping that the Cameron Mews HOA has paid over the years.
