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.
