Historic roots. An exceptional lot. A rare opportunity to create something special in Old Town’s coveted Southeast Quadrant. Built in 1846, this detached home at 719 S. Fairfax Street pairs nearly two centuries of Alexandria history with a deep, generously sized lot—the standout feature of a property brimming with possibility. City records show 2,522 sqft for the lot. Currently offering three bedrooms, two full baths, and approximately 1,604 square feet, the home requires substantial renovation and invites a thoughtful transformation. Reimagine the interiors, explore the potential for an addition, and envision a garden retreat with space for outdoor dining and entertaining. An existing rear shed offers further possibilities, including potential conversion to an accessory dwelling unit, subject to applicable approvals. For an owner ready to create a distinctive Old Town residence or a builder seeking a compelling restoration project, this is an opportunity to pair historic character with a personal vision in a sought-after location. Priced well below assessed value and ready for its next chapter.
