Alexandria is a scenic Virginia city just south of Washington, D.C. Located along the Potomac River, it has a picturesque waterfront and a rich history that is a defining component of this city’s appeal. Alexandria was an important colonial hub, having hosted founding fathers, and is most famed as the birthplace of George Washington.

Alexandria’s unique history is ever present in its many historical buildings and museums. Old Town is a beautiful part of the city, with 18th- and 19th-century preserved buildings that house restaurants and stores, all set along the scenic waters of the Potomac. This gorgeous architecture contributes to Alexandria being one of America’s most picturesque small cities. Within this desirable area, located on a corner lot, is 302 Prince Street.

302 Prince Street is a historical home, originally built in 1840. This pre–Civil War, three-story, Italianate brick home has recently arrived on the market and offers buyers a stunning historical property in one of the most sought-after parts of the city.

With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,656 square feet of interior space, this gorgeous home has many standout aspects throughout. Upon entry through the original front door—one of or the most beautiful in the city—is a large, elegant living/dining area flooded with natural light from the home’s massive windows. There are high 11-foot ceilings on the first and second floors, intricate crown moldings, period detailing, and elegant antique light fixtures.

This home has been well-maintained and features modern upgrades, specifically in the kitchen. It has been professionally designed with granite countertops and contemporary appliances and fixtures, making it ideal for the home chef.

A grand staircase, adjacent to the living/dining area, leads from the entryway to the home’s gorgeous second floor. This large 14’x21’ area is currently used as a salon for entertaining, but it could be converted into a spacious bedroom, subdivided into two, or used as a family living space. It has high ceilings, custom crown moldings, picture rail at the ceiling, large windows, and a cozy fireplace. There is also a full bathroom on this level.

The primary bedroom suite is on the home’s third floor. This expansive area offers elegant comforts, including a dressing room with washer and dryer, office nook, and 22 linear feet of closet space. The en-suite bathroom is a modern, professionally-redesigned space with Philippe Starck fixtures by Hansgrohe and Duravit, and it has a walk-in shower and custom full-height medicine and linen cabinets.

The home’s lower level is a dry, unfinished space that can be used for storage or transformed and renovated, depending on a new owner’s preferences.
