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.

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.”
