Live inside a piece of American history—where 18th-century architecture meets refined modern luxury in the heart of Old Town Alexandria! Welcome to 209-B N. Fairfax Street, an extraordinary 2BR, 2-1/2BA luxury condominium nestled within an historic Georgian-style townhouse. One of only 3 residences in this remarkable building, this home offers an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a piece of Alexandria’s storied past while enjoying beautifully updated interiors designed for modern living. The historic property—once known as part of the Jonah Thompson Houses—has served many roles over the centuries, including a female seminary in the 1840s and a Civil War-era hospital, reflecting the deep historical fabric of Old Town Alexandria. Today, it stands restored as an intimate and elegant residential enclave. Inside, timeless architectural character blends seamlessly with thoughtful renovations. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows with unique, recessed pocket shutters, and historic detailing create a sense of scale and sophistication rarely found in condominium living. The gracious living room and dining room—both featuring elegant gas fireplaces—are ideal for entertaining, as is the well-appointed kitchen featuring brand new appliances, including a double oven and wine fridge. The main-level powder room also adds convenience for guests. When it’s time to relax and recharge, the 2 luxurious bedrooms—each with its own en-suite bathroom—provide comfort and privacy. The primary bedroom also features its own private sitting room, 4 closets, and a luxurious bathroom with dual sinks, jetted soaking tub, and custom, marble walk-in shower. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Old Town Alexandria—and boasting a highly-coveted deeded, off-street parking space—this home is just moments from the Potomac River waterfront; King Street’s renowned dining and boutiques; historic landmarks; and charming cobblestone streets. Nearby parks, marinas, and walking paths provide a quintessential Old Town lifestyle. Residents also enjoy convenient access to Washington, D.C., Reagan National Airport, Amazon HQ2, and major commuter routes, making this an ideal home base for both city living and travel. Historic and elegant, 209-B N. Fairfax Street offers the chance to own a truly distinctive legacy residence. Come live where centuries of history meet modern luxury in one of the most coveted addresses in Northern Virginia.
