    For more than two centuries, 403 South Fairfax Street has stood as one of Old Town Alexandria's enduring architectural treasures. Thoughtfully preserved and meticulously updated, this remarkable flounder house offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's rich history in one of its most coveted locations. Just two blocks from the heart of King Street and moments from the waterfront, the home enjoys an exceptional setting within one of Alexandria's most cherished historic neighborhoods. Throughout the residence, original architectural details remain beautifully intact, from the original hardwood floors and six fireplaces to the distinctive copper roof and finely crafted period details that reflect the exceptional craftsmanship of its era. Carefully executed renovations complement the home's architectural legacy while introducing the comforts expected today. Spanning more than 2,600 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms, three full baths, and gracious living spaces designed for comfort and flexibility. The chef's kitchen is appointed with Miele, Sub-Zero, and Viking appliances, while the adjoining family room preserves the warmth and character that make historic homes so captivating. One of the property's defining features is its beautifully redesigned two-tier courtyard. Entered through a private gate, the professionally landscaped garden unfolds across two distinct outdoor spaces, including an upper courtyard and a lower stone terrace accessed directly from the kitchen. Rarely found in Old Town, this private sanctuary offers an extraordinary extension of the home and a setting of remarkable beauty throughout the seasons. Located just two blocks from King Street, residents enjoy easy access to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, the waterfront, neighborhood parks, and the convenience of a grocery store just one block away. With its remarkable architectural character, exceptional gardens, and premier location, 403 South Fairfax Street stands among Old Town Alexandria's most distinctive historic residences.
