I had the privilege of fully furnishing this beautifully upgraded TH in Landmark Mews, then presenting to prospective Buyers as a unique opportunity for TH that is thoroughly upgraded inside and out, with the additional benefit of the Landmark Mews community and the West End Alexandria/Inside the Beltway location.
The sale result established a new all-time high sale price for a Landmark Mews TH at $925K, achieved through BCP's focus on Landmark Mews and knowlege of the relevant TH micro-market for proper market valuation.
Just how much does your choice of agent matter when selling your home?
The homeowner got a sale price that is $110K more than a nicely upgraded Landmark Mews TH that sold just one month prior and $102K more than the most recent Landmark Mews end unit TH sale.
And the new homeowner got a beautifully upgraded TH in a great Community at a proper market valuation. A great result for all involved.

Landmark Mews community details:
Landmark Mews is a community of 148 townhouses that surrounds 1-acre central Commons. This Park setting created by the Commons, mature trees, brick walls, and lush landscaping is rare for a community located Inside the Beltway. Landmark Mews not only provides these green features for residents to enjoy, but is also only 13 miles from Washington, DC, with immediate access to 395/Beltway/95, and offers the Livability benefits from its location at the West End of Alexandria.
Dining, shopping, recreational, and cultural options found in Washington DC, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and Tysons are within easy reach. A wide range of regular Life necessities are all within 10-15 minutes from Landmark Mews.
For example, The St. James, a 450,000 sq.ft. sport, wellness, and lifestyle complex is a 10-minute drive. The West End Farmers Market is five minutes away, with the Old Town Farmers Market in the heart of Old Town just 15 minutes away. For more information on Alexandria Farmers Markets, see the video on this website or the Living in Landmark Mews website.
The Community offers 1-car garage townhouses, with interior units having 2900-3000 finished sq.ft. and end units having 3400-3600 finished sq.ft. The number of communities within the Beltway that offer townhouses of this size is truly a very short list. This list is even shorter if you desire to live in Alexandria or Arlington.
Landmark Mews is also uniquely positioned to derive maximum "livability," health-related, and location-driven community appeal and valuation benefits from the WestEnd Alexandria project (see details below).
- In 2020, Landmark Mews completed a two-year renovation of its entire landscaping, which includes installation of LED pathway lighting.
- The community will perform landscaping work (e.g., pruning, mulching, and/or mowing) for a homeowner's property as part of HOA fee, at homeowner's request.
- The large central grass Commons has walking paths, benches, and landscaping that creates a space for a peaceful walk or quiet reflection, with this green space located a short stroll from any front door in Landmark Mews. With the extensive landscaping, mature trees, and brick driveways and front walks throughout the community, Landmark Mews provides its residents with eye-pleasing views to enjoy outside their home every day. The Commons and mature landscaping are quality of Life features that are rarely found in a community located inside the Beltway. For photos of the Commons and Community landscaping, see the "Landmark Mews & Nearby" page on the Living in Landmark Mews website. The Community video on the home page of the Landmark Mews website also has views of the Commons.
- Bren Mar Park, which is the Fairfax County park adjacent to Landmark Mews, is a 10-15 minute walk from any front door in the community. The park has 32-acres of mature trees, Turkeycock Run stream, Truss bridges, and walking trails to enjoy. See a video of Bren Mar Park on the website or on the "Landmark Mews & Nearby" page of the Living in Landmark Mews website, along with other Parks located within 10-15 minutes (e.g., Winkler Botanical Preserve, Green Spring Gardens, & Lake Accotink).
- Access to Verizon Fios is also available to Landmark Mews residents.
- Visitor parking is located along Manchester Way less than a 20 second walk to the front door. Residents can park overnight in Visitor parking.
- The Van Dorn Metro is located less than a 10-minute drive from Landmark Mews, with 361 daily parking spaces. A no-cost City of Alexandria bus service with a 12-minute ride time to and from the Van Dorn Metro is a ten-minute walk from the front door.
