As the cherry blossoms peak and the Washington metro area settles into its most vibrant season, the real estate market is following suit. This April, our curated collection of new listings celebrates the art of living well—whether that’s through the preservation of local history or the creation of the ultimate backyard sanctuary.
From the cobblestone streets of Alexandria to the rolling acreage of Virginia’s horse country, this month’s “Reveal” showcases homes that are far more than just addresses; they are architectural stories.
403 S Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA
Tucked within the coveted southeast quadrant of Old Town Alexandria, this exceptional historic flounder house is a rare offering and one of only a small number of surviving examples of this distinctly Alexandrian architectural form. Set discreetly behind a high brick wall, the property reveals itself through an iron gate, opening to an enchanting courtyard defined by lush, mature plantings and a tranquil pond. Inside, the home has been meticulously restored and maintained in pristine condition, thoughtfully blending historic character with modern refinement. Original details, including heart pine floors, restored windows, and six fireplaces, have been carefully preserved, while a copper roof and comprehensive updates ensure lasting quality.
