About the Listing MCE1 - 3021383
Historic character, exceptional outdoor space, and an enviable Old Town location come together beautifully at 403 South Fairfax Street. Dating back more than two centuries, this distinctive flounder house has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated, creating a home that feels both authentic to its history and wonderfully suited to life today. Inside, original hardwood floors, six fireplaces, handsome millwork, and beautifully preserved period details give the home a character that simply cannot be replicated. A distinctive copper roof adds to its architectural presence, while considered renovations have been incorporated with a respect for the home's original design. More than 2,600 square feet of living space includes three bedrooms, three full baths, and a series of gracious, light-filled rooms. The chef's kitchen features Miele, Sub-Zero, and Viking appliances and opens to a comfortable family room, bringing a relaxed counterpoint to the home's more formal spaces. The result is a floor plan with both the elegance of a historic residence and the ease of a home meant to be enjoyed every day. Just beyond the kitchen is perhaps the home's most unexpected feature, a beautifully redesigned two-tier courtyard. Completely private and professionally landscaped, the garden offers two distinct outdoor spaces connected by handsome stonework. The lower terrace flows directly from the kitchen, while the upper courtyard provides another intimate setting for dining, gathering, or simply enjoying the garden. Surrounded by mature plantings and historic brick, it is an unusually generous and serene outdoor retreat in the heart of Old Town. The setting is equally special. King Street is just two blocks away, placing some of Alexandria's best restaurants, boutiques, cafés, and galleries within an easy walk. The waterfront and neighborhood parks are close by, while a grocery store just one block away makes the location remarkably convenient. Beautifully preserved, thoughtfully updated, and distinguished by one of the most appealing private gardens in Old Town, 403 South Fairfax Street offers the character of a historic Alexandria home with a warmth and livability all its own.
