Historic North Henry Street Townhouse

The home at 312 N Henry Street sits within Old Town Alexandria’s historic grid, a neighborhood defined by Federal-era architecture, brick-paved streets, and a walkable commercial core along King Street. Dating to 1900, the property reflects the scale and craftsmanship characteristic of the area’s late-19th-century residential stock.

The two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout spans 864 square feet across a compact but efficient footprint. The half bath on the main level adds everyday convenience, while the full bath serves the upper-level bedrooms. The home’s age and setting make it well-suited to buyers who value historic fabric over new construction.

King Street’s dining, retail, and waterfront are within comfortable walking distance, and the King Street Metro station connects the neighborhood to Reagan National Airport, Pentagon City, and downtown DC. Old Town’s position along the Potomac also provides access to the Mount Vernon Trail and the waterfront park system.

The price point of $679,500 represents a meaningful opportunity to own a freestanding historic home in one of Northern Virginia’s most established and walkable urban neighborhoods.

Historic Character
The home dates to 1900 and occupies a well-established block on North Henry Street in Old Town Alexandria. The neighborhood’s historic preservation standards have maintained the architectural continuity that gives Old Town its distinctive character. Few areas in Northern Virginia offer this combination of age, walkability, and urban infrastructure.
Efficient Layout
Two bedrooms and one and a half baths are distributed across 864 square feet. The layout is compact by design, reflecting the proportions of the era in which the home was built. A half bath on the main level and a full bath upstairs serve the home’s two-level configuration efficiently.
King Street Access
King Street anchors Old Town’s commercial life, with independent restaurants, wine bars, boutiques, and the Saturday farmers market all within walking distance. The King Street Metro station, served by the Blue and Yellow lines, provides a direct connection to Reagan National Airport and the broader regional rail network.
Entry-Point Value
At $679,500, the home offers a genuine entry point into Old Town’s freestanding residential market, where historic townhouses at this scale are increasingly scarce. The combination of location, age, and price positions this property as a considered acquisition in a neighborhood with deep-rooted demand.
