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 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.
