<br><b>The striking 4-story building at the corner of Prince and S. Fairfax Streets in Alexandria’s SE Quadrant is well-known as Old Town’s treasured jewel. Called “Green’s Steam Furniture Works Condominium,” the circa 1790 building at 200 S. Fairfax Street has quite a history – from making bentwood rockers, wardrobes and shoes, healing soldiers in the Civil War, and later servicing foreign cars, even the garage was a showroom for the wacky road and water-traveling Amphicar in the early 1960s.<br> <br>It was carefully designed as 16 residences in 1977-1978, by the revered local builders Ellsworth & Howell, who included covered parking and an interior patio garden for enjoyment and light. Over the years, owners have applied creative architecture to combine certain properties, meaning that there are now 12 unique properties within the building.<br> <br><b>Hooray<b> -- you have an opportunity to live the “soft urban” city life – think Paris, New York or London – such style, all in the very best location in town. Ready for your delighted inspection is Residence #7 – a joy to behold on one-level and accessed by a quick elevator ride. Large, new windows welcome great views and light. Freshly painted, new HVAC and bedroom carpeting, just add your furniture and art, and you're ready to go!<br> <br>The gated garage offers reserved parking space #7 and storage #6, as well as another elevator to the lobby level for those heavier loads of wine cases or groceries. The wide steps on the boutique building’s exterior enter into the recently redone lobby, accessible with a key fob. Common spaces are professionally cleaned twice a week. The patio garden is for all owners’ use for reading, working or sipping bubbly after work.<br> <br>The neighbors are well-traveled, lovely and quite fun (I know because I live there -- Ann D). It is a quiet building in fine condition and under experienced management. Let’s make an appointment soon for your personal tour. Won’t you be my neighbor? <br>

The Transportation System

While driving into the city is easy due to the closeness of the various major highways in Alexandria, many choose to take alternative transportation into the city. Bus stops are conveniently located close to the complex, and the metro station is only a few minutes’ drive from home. Residents of Green Springs enjoy private garage parking, so leaving the car at home is never a problem.

The Amazing Green Steam Condos

These condos are in the Green's Steam building - the historic landmark itself. The gorgeous red-brick building has been preserved over the years and looks as if it were taken straight out of a history book. A bright and airy lobby and a small, but adequate courtyard allows residents to soak up the warmth of the sun.

The one bedroom condos are spacious and have 1.5 baths. They have long open floor plans with beautiful hardwood floors. The molding around the room is clearly something out of the 1700s. One look at the interior of these charming homes is enough to pull you into the past. The bedroom is often carpeted for more warmth. A gorgeous fireplace, flanked by bookcases, dominates the living room and makes this room the place to be on cold winter's nights.
