Property Description

Seize this rare opportunity to create your own chapter of living history in this 1840 residence on iconic South Lee Street in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, consistently ranked among the top ten best small cities to visit and live in the U.S. Offered as is and for the first time in almost half a century, this plaqued semi-detached home has stood the test of time with an enduring appeal rooted in a rich colonial architectural heritage preserved among these “large and handsome frame buildings for W. Markley, the work done by himself” as recognized in the Alexandria Gazette on April 3, 1852. A classic wood clapboard façade adorned with dentil molding and cornices sets the period ambiance of a pre-Civil War era home with a unique elevated front patio and a distinguished interior that has evolved over time into three levels of lovely quaint living space all above grade. Today, an elegant layout anchors the entry level from the open living and dining room with high ceilings to the cozy kitchen that leads to a double duty fully fenced brick patio/parking pad via alley access. The upper two levels combined offer a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath, a den and a hallway bath servicing two additional bedrooms, including an airy loft bedroom featuring impressive 11' ceiling in the front and exposed beams in the back. An unfinished basement provides added storage capacity to accommodate present-day household needs. Marvelous picturesque location in the coveted southeast quadrant of Old Town showcases the best of destination living with a pedestrian friendly lifestyle full of attractive amenities from fun shops, boutiques, restaurants, street performances to waterfront parks, historic sites and the sought-after Lyles Crouch elementary school. Enjoy an easy stroll to watch the sun rise over the Potomac River at the historic Windmill Hill Park mere steps away. Relish the festive community spirit around Halloween that energizes the legendary South Lee Street trick-or-treat bonanza. Take on the mantle of stewardship by crafting a beautiful architectural legacy inspired by your own vision of contemporary luxury living that honors the historic integrity and enriches the irreplicable charm and character of this venerable 186-year-old home at an ever enviable address. All welcome to visit open house on Sunday from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.
