Property Description

Welcome to 709 S Royal Street, an elegant three-level residence in Old Town Alexandria's coveted Yates Gardens neighborhood, where historic character, thoughtful renovations, and a wonderfully private outdoor setting come together.


The main level opens to a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, with refinished hardwood floors preserving the home's timeless character. Beyond, the layout flows into a dedicated dining area and thoughtfully updated kitchen, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living. A rear door extends the living space outdoors to a fully fenced brick patio shaded by mature trees—an intimate retreat for morning coffee or quiet evenings at home.


Upstairs, the generously sized primary bedroom features custom-designed storage without compromising the room's sense of space. A comfortable second bedroom and full hall bath complete the upper level, offering flexibility for guests or a home office.


The finished lower level adds an impressive amount of versatility, with a recreation room that can easily accommodate a media area or additional entertainment space. A second full bathroom, separate laundry room with new washer and dryer, utility area, and under-stair storage make this level as functional as it is flexible. CAT 5 cabling throughout the home supports a seamless work-from-home lifestyle.


Ideally positioned just two blocks from the George Washington Memorial Parkway, 709 S Royal offers convenient access to Washington, D.C., I-295, I-495, and the King Street Metro. Another notable advantage is the consistent availability of unassigned street parking directly in front of the property—a true rarity in Old Town. Although parking cannot be guaranteed, spaces are typically available at any point of day or night, right out front of the property.


King Street's celebrated restaurants and boutiques are close at hand, while the home's location offers a quieter residential setting removed from the congestion and parking demands of its busiest blocks. Scenic trails, neighborhood coffee shops, the waterfront, and the beloved Saturday Farmers' Market are also nearby. This is Old Town living at its best.
