Among the many Old Town Alexandria homes that offer wonderful curb appeal, this one remains a standout. It’s the covered front porch – an elegant, welcoming addition from the early 1900s — that catches the eye of passers by. Set on a double lot (3,710 sq ft), the original, detached Victorian/Queen Anne home dates to the mid-1850s. *** That original three-level structure — plus an unfinished basement — was augmented by a two-level addition in the early 1900's, and the result is a floor plan with real character rather than a predictable footprint. Step in from the front porch to a gracious foyer. To the right, a cozy living room centers on a gas fireplace for winter evenings, with plantation shutters that open to views of the street. Behind it, offset from a powder room tucked at the end of the foyer, a generous dining room features built-ins at one end and more plantation shutters. The addition beyond holds a well-appointed, updated kitchen: granite counters, a glass tile backsplash, wood-tone cabinetry, a window bench, an optional movable island, with a back door leading directly to the yard and parking beyond. A mix of original and newer hardwoods run throughout the main level and continue upstairs. There’s a bedroom to the front of the house with a hall bath at the top of the stairs. The primary bedroom occupies the back of the original structure, connecting to a spacious en-suite bath in the addition's second level, complete with soaking tub, separate shower, and an extra double closet. The third floor flexes to fit your needs — a third bedroom, office, or rec room — with closet space tucked under the eaves. The lower level, accessible both from inside and through exterior bulkhead doors at the rear of the house, offers laundry and abundant shelf storage, *** The stunning back yard delivers, for Old Town, a coveted sense of privacy and tranquility. Perennials line the walkway and rear of the property for bursts of seasonal color. A patio near the house is ready for grilling with herbs nearby, ready to be cut then dinner al fresco. And a trellis pergola set apart from the home creates a defined space to gather and relax. The yard is fully fenced, with separate fenced areas flanking each side of the house. The location is ideal: an easy walk to Lyles Crouch Elementary in one direction and Balducci's in the other, with two full-size off-street parking spaces tucked behind the back yard off an alley – no struggling for street parking necessary! *** And to make things even better, this wonderful home is listed below Tax Assessed Value!! *** Live in the house as it stands, or take advantage of the oversized lot to expand. Two previous owners secured Board of Architectural Review approval for additions to the property, though neither moved forward. Those BAR approvals are available to review on-site/in person, and offer a head start for anyone looking to customize or expand. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by to own this piece of Old Town's history.

**Open house Saturday, Sept. 12th from 1 - 3 PM and Sunday, Sept. 13th from 1 - 3 PM** What does this Old Town Victorian have on Picasso? One year. Built in 1880—one year before Pablo Picasso was born—508 Gibbon Street has been standing in Old Town for nearly a century and a half. And fortunately, no one has erased the details that make a home of this era so much fun to discover. Step inside and the character starts immediately. Antique pine floors run through the living room, while hardwood floors continue throughout the rest of the home. Crown molding and chair rail add architectural interest across the main level, and thoughtfully updated lighting complements the home's original personality. The main level flows from the living room into the dining room, where built-ins and a beautiful stained-glass window provide yet another reminder that this is anything but a cookie-cutter home. The kitchen is open to the dining and living spaces, creating an easy layout for everyday life and entertaining while still preserving the character you want in an Old Town Victorian. At the back of the home, the family room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a classic brick surround and wood mantel. Built-ins add even more character, while a door leads directly outside, making this a comfortable spot to settle in at the end of the day. Just beyond is the fully fenced backyard, a private outdoor space with room to relax, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy a quiet evening at home. A storage shed keeps bikes, gardening supplies, and outdoor gear neatly tucked away. A beautifully updated powder room with marble tile flooring completes the main level. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a completely updated full bath with marble tile flooring, and the everyday convenience of laundry right on the bedroom level. The primary bedroom includes two closets, but the real surprise is just beyond the French doors: a sunroom with three skylights, its own AC unit, and a built-in desk. Filled with natural light and tucked away from the main living spaces, it makes an ideal home office, reading room, creative space, or quiet retreat. The second bedroom sits at the front of the home and features wood floors and two closets. And then, of course, there is the location. At 508 Gibbon Street, Old Town isn't somewhere you have to drive to, you're already there. Restaurants, shops, the waterfront, parks, coffee, and everything along King Street are all part of the neighborhood. Leave the car parked on the street and experience one of the best parts of living in Old Town: having so much of Alexandria right outside your front door. Nearly 150 years later, 508 Gibbon Street still has plenty of stories left to tell. Some details simply can't be recreated. At 508 Gibbon Street, you don't have to. And the details? They're the kind you simply don’t find in newer homes. Original character, unexpected moments, and so much personality make 508 Gibbon Street one we cannot wait to share.
