This historic residence is a true architectural masterpiece. From the moment you step through the front door, you'll know you've found something truly special. The main level features a dramatic step-down living and dining area with stunning hardwood floors, a fireplace, half bath and soaring ceilings reaching up to 22 feet. A striking architectural highlight is the curved, floating staircase - suspended from a beam on the third floor - creating an open, airy feel rarely seen. The living room seamlessly connects to a beautifully landscaped, brick-fenced patio, offering a private and tranquil outdoor oasis. On the second level, a dramatic bridge overlooks the main living space and leads to the expansive primary suite. This retreat includes a luxurious, fully remodeled bath, a large cedar walk-in closet, warm wood ceilings, and a second fireplace. Be sure to take in the breathtaking view down to the main level from the bridge - it's truly unforgettable. The third floor offers additional living space with a den, full bath, and a second bedroom featuring a cathedral ceiling and skylight. Above it all, a loft overlooks the entire home, enhancing the open, architectural feel. Throughout the home, you'll find extraordinary details, including antique tall-ship beams, stained glass windows and distinctive industrial elements that blend historic charm with modern style. Don't forget the garage! Hard to find in Old Town. Originally built in 1812 as a girls' school, this remarkable building has played a significant role in local history. It has served as the first free girls' school in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a center of worship for Black Methodists in Alexandria, the first home of the Alexandria Lyceum, a Union prison and hospital during the Civil War, a military academy, and a meeting hall for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. This is more than a home - it's a piece of history unlike anything else on the market.
