The top sale of the week was a Colonial in the Wellington neighborhood of Alexandria, built in 2006 and remodeled from top to bottom in phases that began in 2020. It sold for $3,500,000.

The main level also has an office, a large library, the living and dining rooms and one of the bedroom suites. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens to a balcony with views of the river, and its bath has heated floors. The finished lower level adds a media room, an exercise room, a recreation room and the sixth bedroom.
From the kitchen, doors open to the backyard, which has a patio and an outdoor kitchen. The yard also has a pond, a fountain and an outdoor fireplace. The kitchen and primary bedroom were redone in 2020, and the remaining bathrooms followed in 2025. The property last sold for $1.825 million in 2018.
