In the heart of Old Town Alexandria and only two blocks from the waterfront, 201 Duke St is an irreplaceable chapter of Old Town’s legacy. Originally constructed circa 1790, the residence showcases timeless architectural features including original heart pine floors, intricate moldings, and two wood-burning fireplaces that anchor its storied charm. The entire home has been thoughtfully refreshed and restored with curated designer lighting, bespoke wall coverings throughout, and an elevated palette of interior paint selections—each detail chosen to complement the home's historic character while introducing a curated modern aesthetic. With marble countertops, updated cabinetry and all-new hardware, the charming kitchen with garden views opens both to the covered side porch and to the show-stopping courtyard and patio. Come springtime, cherry blossoms adorn the yard—an enchanting and picture-perfect retreat in the middle of Old Town. The floor plan includes four bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths on 4 levels. Look for the sweet hidden room that could be a potential future walk-in closet, an upstairs laundry room or just a flex space. The lower level is a great pub style room with a beautifully designed wine cellar, perfect for both quiet evenings and stylish entertaining. Truly one of the most beautiful homes in Old Town, this rare offering captures the essence of old-world charm paired with impeccable, modern sophistication. Bathed in natural light on three sides with only one party wall, this exquisitely restored historic townhome offers a rare blend of 18th-century elegance and refined modern living.
