About This Home
Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, the Bayne-Fowle House is a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture, beautifully restored to blend historic elegance with modern luxury. Set on a double lot with walled gardens, patios, and a two car garage, this 8,600-square-foot mansion offers refined living in a prime location.
A sandstone staircase with wrought iron gas lamps leads to the grand entrance. Inside, the living, dining, and family rooms feature 12’-14' ceilings, intricate plaster cornices, marble fireplaces, and full-length windows with original folding shutters. Pocket doors allow for an open or intimate floor plan, while triple Niermann Weeks chandeliers enhance the space.
The newly renovated kitchen, light-filled breakfast room, and conservatory provide stunning garden views. A charming office, an elegant French-inspired powder room, and a beautifully designed elevator complete this level.
The second floor includes three spacious bedrooms with fireplaces, two full baths, and a large laundry room. The Owner’s Suite offers a luxurious bedroom with garden views, a marble fireplace, an elegant bath with a vessel tub and glass shower, and a breathtaking dressing room with a marble-topped island. An additional laundry room is adjacent.
The upper level features a finished space with exposed brick and historic Civil War-era graffiti. The lower level includes a second family room, a fitness area, a 1,600-bottle wine cellar, and a full bath.
With impeccable gardens, historic charm, and modern amenities, this exceptional residence is just blocks from the Potomac River and top restaurants—ideal for elegant living and entertaining.
