520 John Carlyle St

Carlyle Square is a low-rise, four-story condominium complex built in 2007 that blends loft-inspired floor plans with traditional condominium conveniences. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, many featuring loft character—high ceilings (often 10–12 feet), floor-to-ceiling or oversized windows, open living/dining plans, and occasional exposed ductwork. Interior finishes commonly include granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank or hardwood floors, recessed lighting, in-unit washers/dryers, walk-in closets, and a mix of bath types (soaking tubs, stall showers, tub-shower combinations). Many homes offer private outdoor space: Juliet balconies, full-width or wrap-around balconies, and views toward landscaped courtyards and nearby parkland. The development’s common areas are centered on a landscaped courtyard with a fountain, seating, grills, and extensive hardscape; additional exterior features include secure storage rooms, sidewalks, exterior lighting, underground lawn sprinklers, and satellite service. Building services and conveniences include elevator access, assigned underground/garage parking, on-site management and concierge-type reception, intercom/security entry, and package facilities. Optional memberships provide access to a nearby outdoor pool and fitness center for an additional fee. Located in the Eisenhower East/Carlyle neighborhood of Alexandria, the property sits within easy walking distance of the King Street Metro, Whole Foods/Wegmans, restaurants, shops and is minutes from Reagan National Airport and downtown Washington, D.C., offering a highly walkable, transit-oriented urban lifestyle.
