Portner Brewhouse Residence in the Heart of Old Town

Residence BH212 at the Portner Brewhouse occupies a storied address in Old Town Alexandria, a neighborhood defined by its Federal-era streetscapes, waterfront proximity, and one of Northern Virginia’s most walkable commercial corridors. The building itself is a conversion of the historic Robert Portner Brewing Company complex, lending the property an architectural character that new construction cannot replicate.

The 812-square-foot floor plan delivers a one-bedroom, one-bath configuration sized for efficient, comfortable living. An assigned garage parking space conveys with the sale — a meaningful asset in a neighborhood where parking is genuinely competitive. On-site rental parking is also available for guests or additional vehicles.

HOA coverage here is substantive: exterior building maintenance, insurance, reserve funds, sewer, water, trash, and snow removal are all included. For a buyer evaluating true monthly carrying costs, the breadth of that coverage is worth careful consideration alongside the list price.

King Street, with its concentration of independent restaurants, boutiques, and the King Street Metro station, is accessible on foot. The broader Old Town grid connects residents to the Potomac waterfront, Amtrak at Alexandria Union Station, and quick access to the GW Parkway and I-495 corridor.

Historic Conversion
The Portner Brewhouse traces its origins to the Robert Portner Brewing Company, one of the most prominent breweries in the post-Civil War South. The adaptive reuse of this complex into residential condominiums preserved the building’s industrial bones while delivering modern living spaces in a neighborhood that prizes architectural continuity.
Layout and Parking
At 812 square feet, the one-bedroom layout is efficiently proportioned for a primary residence or pied-a-terre. The assigned garage parking space — included in the sale — is a practical advantage in Old Town, where on-street parking is limited and competitive throughout the week.
HOA Coverage
The HOA structure covers a broad range of operating costs: exterior building maintenance, building insurance, reserve funds, sewer, water, trash removal, and snow removal. Buyers should factor this coverage into their total monthly cost analysis, as it offsets several expenses typically borne separately in other ownership structures.
Location and Access
Old Town Alexandria’s King Street corridor and Potomac waterfront are accessible on foot from the Portner Brewhouse. The King Street Metro station connects residents to the Blue and Yellow lines, and the neighborhood’s grid provides straightforward access to Reagan National Airport, the GW Parkway, and I-495.
