Built in 1900, this stunning 2,550-square-foot Victorian townhome seamlessly blends timeless architectural details with modern comforts. Throughout the home, you'll find elegantly high ceilings, custom built-ins, and abundant skylights that bathe the interiors in natural light. The spacious floor plan is designed for both gracious entertaining and relaxed daily living.

The partially finished lower level adds flexibility, offering an abundance of storage space — a true luxury for historic townhomes of this era. Situated in the highly sought-after Southeast Quadrant of Old Town Alexandria, this home is just steps from the Potomac River waterfront, charming boutiques, award-winning restaurants, and iconic historic landmarks.
