Spectacular Backyard Renovation and Guest House in Alexandria, VA

The new pool house includes a spacious, light-filled gathering room on the main level. The space features custom wide-plank floors, a bead-board ceiling and a gas fireplace, which all add to its charming character. A “summer kitchen” and pool bath complete the first-floor layout, along with an additional two-car garage. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath provide a comfortable guest retreat. The front elevation, scale and exterior finishes of the cottage-style pool house were carefully designed so the street-side view would look appropriate and complement the neighboring homes.
