This 1784 residence located on Gentry Row in the heart of Old Town, Alexandria, is a TREASURE! Exquisite details, custom built-ins, sought-after updates and overwhelming charm characterize every level of this all-brick home. Classic federal architectural details, a recessed entrance, custom window planters and handsome shutters greet you on one of the sought-after and most famous streets of this historic seaport. A lovely entrance hallway, approximately 6 feet wide and 20 feet long, is graced by a keystone window above the front door. Its 10' ceilings are capped by period dentil molding, chair rail and custom faux paintine wallpaper both above and below the chair rail. A period fixture is just one of many throughout this home. Original floors throughout most of the residence, wide pine planks, are both warm and welcoming. The stately living room is the first room to the left of the entrance hall and offers 2 deep windows sills with tailor-made covers for active radiators, swag and jabot draperies and custom shutters. The built-in bookcases, intricate moldings, a fireplace with attractive paneled insets and mantle make evey wall of this room unique and complementary and create a decor that is not just beautiful but reflective of one of the finest examples of early American residential architecture in the historic area. The family room, approached from either an arched entry way from the living room, or from the gracious hallway, is filled with natural light by a large window with southern exposure and defined by elaborate custom drapery. This end townhouse is filled with north, south and eastern exposures on each level creating the feeling of a detached residnece with well-designed space and interaction with lush natural scenery. The family room has an impressive trey ceiling, chair rail, moldings within the wainscotting and a custom-designed built-in cabinet which showcases dozens of prized teacups and saucers. Like the living room, the radiator cover is both stately and practical. As one transition to the middle of the home, there is a transom above a 9 pane, 35" wide door opening onto the patio (1 of 3 entrances) to an elegant outdoor retreat space and entertaining area. There is also a well-designed and lovely 1/2 bath on this level. Entertaining in this home often occurs in a beautiful dining room whose complementary wallpaper and draperies are further accented by a 5' double door, two 18" side windows and 4' wide side bay wndows which were designed for capturing natural light and reflecting the beauty of the garden. Bright and elegant, this dining room also has a large fireplace, period hardware and attractive fixtures which create both elegance and ease of movement both within and beyond this space. Both built-in china cabinets which flank the doorway passage to the large and renovated kitchen can be pulled out. A pocket door allows the owner to close off the kitchen to the dining room if one desired a more elegant and intimate space. The kitchen boasts of many recent improvements: a cathedral ceiling, a transom with six window panes and a keystone arch; granite counters with a custom drain board in the countertop, downdraft Thermador 5 burner stove and fan, Pentair water filter, double windows above the sink, beautiful cabinetry, a Cafe refrigerator, a large pot rack which conveys, double wall oven, customized cabinetry lighting, a large microwave and a well designed desk or coffee bar area with customized cabinetry and shelves with glass doors that are both elegant and efficient.

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 façade 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 home’s past while supporting modern living. Designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort, the home features eight fireplaces, including one in every bedroom. The chef’s 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 Town’s 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.

IMPROVED PRICE! It’s rare that a home with such rich history, distinctive architecture, and an exceptional location becomes available to the public. Today, you're in for a special treat--a chance to explore an extraordinary residence that blends American history, timeless craftsmanship and endless potential! Once the boyhood home of General Winfield Scott--the legendary general who served in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War--this remarkable home began its story in 1762 in Sussex County, VA, known then as The Mitchell House. In 1946, it found new life when Carl W. Porter, Fairfax County's Director of Public Works and a retired U. S. Navy Captain along with his wife, Beatrice, carefully relocated it piece by piece to its stunning new site--a serene two-acre setting on the Potomac River, just below George Washington's Mount Vernon. They lovingly renamed it CARLBY! Washington’s 1793 map of the Mt Vernon Estate shows Carlby as “Field Number 1” and the water in front of the home as George Washington’s fishery. Set back from the road and only 200 feet from the water's edge, this secluded 2.18 acre property is approached by a graceful lengthy driveway which is perfectly situated to reflect the symmetry of the home and its outbuildings. This elegant residence follows the grand tradition of Southern plantation design--with a wide central hall and front and back doors perfectly aligned to invite cool river breezes. As you step inside with both doors open, the view of the water unfolds before you in breathtaking fashion. The riverside facade can be admired from the stately portico, reminiscent of Mount Vernon's grand lawn. Whether hosting gatherings or savoring tranquil mornings by the water, the setting offers breathtaking views, timeless serenity and radiant sunsets. With 151 feet of beautiful water frontage and a pier extending into the river, the property presents endless possibilities for relaxation and recreation, all surrounded by a natural landscape that serves as a thriving habitat for local wildlife. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks for itself. The first floor showcases original wide-plank pine floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and beautifully preserved moldings and paneling. To one side of the main hallway lies the grand living room, adorned with intricate wainscoting and elegant woodwork restored by the Porters themselves. Expansive nine-over-nine windows fill the space with natural light and frame sweeping river views. Across the hall, the formal dining room features a stately fireplace and a custom chandelier designed by Captain Porter and inspired by one found in George Mason's home at Gunston Hall. A cozy den with its own full bath offers the versatility of a first-floor bedroom; each of these rooms features a beautifully detailed period fireplace. The galley kitchen, half bath, laundry area and a private staircase leading to an upstairs room complete the main level. Upstairs, the owner's suite spans the full width of the house--a peaceful retreat with original floors, an elegant wood burning fireplace and an en-suite bath. With views of both the front lawn and the river, it captures the quiet grace of the home's 18th century origins. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath and custom built-in closets round out the upper level--each space filled with charm and history, from river views to cozy fireplaces. A detached double garage with upper-level storage, a historic smokehouse, complementary shed complete the outside structures on the property; all arranged with balance & purpose. Carlby is more than a home---it's a living piece of American heritage. A place where history, architecture and nature converge in perfect harmony. For historians, architects, preservations and lovers of nature who are looking for a waterfront, private retreat on over 2 acres of land, the possibilities are endless. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable.
