Just steps away from the Alexandria Historical District and Potomac River, this newly remodeled house has the perfect downtown location. The home has desirable panoramic water views, newly refinished hardwood floors and fresh cream paint. To complete the remodel, our expert team was called upon to recommend windows and patio doors for this breathtaking waterfront property. Our clients wanted to blend classical charm with modern functionality.

French Doors Overlook Stunning Potomac River Views in Alexandria Home

To enhance the traditional elegance of this home, we installed end-to-end French doors using the Pella Reserve — Traditional line for its unmatched historical detailing. These additions create grand entrances on the back terraces. On the second and third floors, they brighten the home’s interior with the use of expansive glass panels. The natural light makes the living areas feel spacious and bright. Plus, the traditional French doors gracefully swing open, effortlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Double-Hung Windows with Traditional Grille Patterns Enhance Classic Style

These double-hung windows feature a symmetrical design and clean lines, creating a classic grille pattern. Our team incorporated elegant spoon-style locks, enhancing the timeless beauty and enduring charm of the traditional windows. This hardware selection stays true to the authenticity of this home, while creating an easy way to secure the window sash.

Plus, these double-hung wood windows do a great job of keeping the waterfront home well-ventilated all year round. Whether it's a humid summer or a crisp fall in Alexandria, the two movable sashes let in plenty of fresh air. Now, the new buyers can enjoy a cool and comfortable living space no matter the season.

Wood Windows and Patio Doors Complement Red Brick Exterior in Virginia

We worked closely with our clients to customize their choices using Pella Reserve — Traditional wood windows and patio doors. To match the new paint and existing architectural details, we created a custom color, Gilday Cream, to complement the red brick exterior of this traditional home. Pella’s wood products provide homeowners an opportunity to specifically tailor each window and patio door to suit their needs.
