518 S Fairfax Street is on the market for the first time in 66 years. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a single-family brick home on a charming and quiet street in the heart of Alexandria’s Historic District. This unique property occupies two spacious lots. The main level has a double living room, each with a fireplace, dining room leading to the kitchen and a spacious family room with laundry closet. The second level has four bedrooms, an office and a sewing room. The primary bedroom shares a full bathroom with the contiguous bedroom. Two closets, a full bathroom and a powder room are located in the hallway. A newer guest house with plumbing and electricity is situated at the back of the property. For convenience and walkability, this is the perfect location. The scenic Potomac River is less than two blocks away. Around the block is a park, neighborhood grocery store and, within easy walking distance, you can enjoy King Street and its numerous shops and restaurants. It is also located less than 10 miles from Washington DC, and less than 5 miles from Reagan National Airport. A new HVAC system has been installed, and a fresh coat of paint has been applied throughout and the lawn, gardens, and hedges have been recently tended to. The home is being sold “as is.”
