Historic Character, Thoughtful Updates, and Opportunity, Located between Queen and Princess in the heart of Alexandria, this detached Old Town home offers a rare combination of authentic history, key updates, and future potential. Spanning approximately 1,400+ square feet, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a primary suite with en suite bath — a unique offering for this location. The front portion of the home dates to the post–Civil War era (circa 1870–1880), with expansions in the late 19th century and again in the early 20th century. The result is a classic “shotgun-style” layout, with open living and dining spaces leading to the kitchen and rear utility areas. Historic character is evident throughout. The living room is anchored by a custom brick feature wall built with reclaimed 19th-century brick sourced from a Washington, DC building of the same era. At its center is a Vermont Castings Dutchwest Federal Convection Heater (Model 2460), a high-efficiency cast iron wood-burning stove known for its strong heat output and classic styling. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2026, including new subflooring and hickory flooring. A walk-in pantry just off the dining area provides rare and highly functional storage. Additional updates include a new HVAC system (July 2025) and a durable metal roof. The home offers: •Open living and dining rooms, •Rear kitchen with direct backyard access, •Laundry area with adjacent half bath, The fenced backyard is notably spacious for Old Town and features a bluestone slate patio (approximately 15’ square), creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature tree canopy provides shade and privacy. Off-street parking for two vehicles is available via the rear alley. The property has also been the subject of archaeological study, reflecting the layered history of the site and its evolution over time. Ideally located between both Braddock Road and King Street Metro stations, this home offers exceptional access to transit, dining, and shopping. This property presents a compelling opportunity to own a detached historic home with character, recent system updates, and the ability to further enhance over time. Sold as-is.
