The O’Sullivan House returns—quietly refined, improved, and ready for its next chapter. This distinguished 19th-century Federal-style home has been carefully refreshed to enhance everyday livability while preserving the architectural integrity and character that define historic Old Town Alexandria. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new stone countertops, a refined backsplash, painted cabinetry, selective cabinet removal to improve light and flow, and new oven and dishwasher—creating a more functional, welcoming space that respects the home’s original proportions without over-modernizing them. Upstairs, both bathrooms have been fully renovated, including one taken down to the studs with new plumbing, fixtures, and finishes. In addition, new plumbing and venting were added to relocate the laundry upstairs near the bedrooms—an upgrade that meaningfully improves daily convenience while remaining sensitive to the home’s historic origins. Throughout the house, extensive fresh painting of interior, details have been carefully addressed, and major systems have been serviced and confirmed operational. Masonry has been selectively inspected and maintained, and the front entry door was refinished with updated hardware—enhancing curb appeal while reinforcing the thoughtful stewardship of the property. The result is a home that is polished, cohesive, and easy to live in—without sacrificing the charm, quirks, and authenticity that make historic homes so special. Set just five blocks from King Street and five blocks from the Potomac waterfront, with a private courtyard and rare two-car off-street parking, The O’Sullivan House offers a rare opportunity: the house already had soul and the associated history—we focused on making it easier, more comfortable, and more confidence-inspiring to live in. --------------- More on The O’Sullivan House | Circa 1873 Built in 1873 by Daniel and T.J. O’Sullivan, this Federal-style row house sits on a tree-lined block in Old Town Alexandria’s sought-after southeast quadrant. Thoughtfully preserved and carefully updated over time, the home offers a rare combination of historic architecture, private outdoor space, and off-street parking—features seldom found together in Old Town. A dramatic entry foyer with soaring ceilings and original millwork sets the tone, opening to light-filled living and dining spaces anchored by a gas fireplace and hardwood floors. French doors extend the living space outdoors to a private, brick-walled courtyard with mature landscaping, raised garden beds, and a fruiting apple tree—an unexpectedly serene retreat in the heart of the city. Beyond the garden gate, two deeded off-street parking spaces accessed via the rear alley provide exceptional convenience. Upstairs, two bedrooms enjoy abundant natural light and are served by two full baths, while the finished lower level offers flexible living space with a third full bathroom and walk-up access to the garden—ideal for guests, a home office, or additional living area. Just five blocks to King Street and five blocks to the Potomac waterfront, the location offers immediate access to Old Town’s dining, shops, marina, parks, and trails, along with easy connectivity to I-95, the Beltway, National Airport, and Amazon HQ2.
