Introducing The Prince, often referred to as the Versailles of Old Town, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most architecturally distinctive and thoughtfully crafted residences ever offered in Historic Old Town Alexandria. Behind a classic Federal-style brick faade lies a fully restored and reimagined historic townhouse where 1830s Colonial heritage meets refined European craftsmanship and modern smart-home living. Years in the making, The Prince was designed with exceptional detail, provenance, and presence. Spanning six bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms across four finished interior levels, the home is crowned by a fifth-level rooftop deck offering 360-degree views over Old Town with partial views of the Potomac. This rooftop is the only known fully approved and constructed 360-degree rooftop deck on a historic residence within the Old and Historic District of Old Town Alexandria, making it truly irreplaceable. Throughout the residence, original architectural elements are preserved and elevated through imported European materials, curated Early American and European antiques and artifacts (many of which convey), and extraordinary attention to detail. Imported marble flooring with gold inlays, bespoke millwork, designer fixtures, and globally sourced finishes are layered seamlessly over original brick and wood, creating a home that feels both grand and warmly livable. The original staircase has been transformed into a striking architectural centerpiece, encased in glass with custom lighting. A rare manual dumbwaiter discovered during restoration has been thoughtfully mechanized and incorporated as a functional historic feature, honoring the homes past while supporting modern living. Designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort, the home features eight fireplaces, including one in every bedroom. The chefs kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue range, custom appliances, bespoke cabinetry, and Belvedere quartzite countertops. A concealed motorized television integrated into the main island preserves clean sightlines while allowing the space to transition effortlessly from daily living to hosting at scale. Custom day to night lighting throughout the home enhances the experience from morning elegance to evening ambiance, supported by integrated smart-home technology. The lower level offers a private entrance and functions as a flexible suite with an en-suite bedroom, kitchenette, living area, and washer/dryer, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, au pair accommodations, a private retreat, or potential rental use. Outdoor spaces are equally refined, featuring a serene garden courtyard with six fountains, a star-lit archway, ambient lighting, and multiple outdoor entertaining areas. Above it all, the rooftop deck serves as a private sky lounge with seating, dining space, outdoor theater, putting green, and panoramic views across the Old Town skyline toward Washington, DC, Maryland, and the Potomac River. In a city where parking is an exceptional premium, The Prince offers rare off-street parking, including a private gated garage capable of accommodating up to four compact vehicles, along with resident guest-only alley accessible parking. The property also features the largest carport door ever approved and installed within the Old and Historic District. Located just one block from King Street, Old Towns main thoroughfare for acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and cultural landmarks, the setting could not be more central or walkable. Combined with immediate access to Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC, and Maryland, The Prince offers a lifestyle that is as effortless as it is extraordinary.
