Property Description
Once the carriage house of George Washington's older brother, Lawrence Washington, 1/2 Swift's Alley was built nearly 40 years prior to the signing of the U.S. Constitution! Situated in the middle of a historic cobblestone alley, this fully detached all brick cottage home is a testament to the rich history of the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Rarely does one have the opportunity to own such a charming home. You will be enchanted from the first moment you step inside. This period home with its own cobblestone and brick drive and two courtyards lends itself to indoor and outdoor gracious living. One courtyard for the morning and another for the afternoon. And even though Swifts Alley is easily walkable to everything Old Town (the river and permanent 100-block King Street dining are one block away), it is impressively private. A writer's and artist's dream, 1/2 Swifts Alley has a storybook feel that Jane Austen would feel perfectly at home in. Optional second bedroom/study in room presently staged as a dining room. Seller is a licensed Virginia real estate agent. Square footage is approximately 1030.
