Colonial

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a pristine historic home on South Fairfax Street in the Southeast quadrant of Old Town Alexandria! Built in 1820, this beautiful home has been meticulously maintained and updated while retaining many original features, including the two staircases. Enter into a formal foyer with a conveniently located coat closet and half bath. The gracious living room showcases a gas fireplace, detailed moldings, abundant natural light from the two front windows, and the French doors leading to the side garden. A dry bar, in the hyphen hall leading to the dining room, has a chic mirrored backsplash and wine cooler. The separate dining room is lined with windows on the south side and has a decorative fireplace. Beyond, the family room is the heart of the home with a kitchen, family room, and breakfast room overlooking the stunning garden. The cozy family room has a fireplace and custom built-in cabinets for storage and display. The gourmet kitchen is both functional and atheistically pleasing with painted cabinets, hidden appliance storage, a gas range, and ample counter space. The adjoining breakfast nook has additional custom built-ins and access to the garden. The second level is home to 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The spacious primary suite features a dressing room with multiple closets and an en suite bath. The second bedroom is awash with natural light from a skylight and numerous windows and has the fourth fireplace in the home. This space can easily be an office with a custom built-in desk area. The third bedroom, with vaulted ceilings, is accessible from the second floor or the back staircase and also boasts built-ins for additional storage, and a lovely window with plantation shutters looking out towards the lush green garden. The second full bath has been recently remodeled and is accessible from both bedrooms. One of the many highlights is the expansive private garden oasis; this professionally designed space is full of mature specimens, contains multiple seating and entertaining areas, and has shed storage and alley access. Offered in move-in condition and a premier location, your dream house is just steps from shops, restaurants, parks, and the waterfront.
