Presenting Stuart Land, the oldest estate on Seminary Hill. Built in 1856, this grand and storied home blends preserved historic character with meticulous modern upgrades, offering 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and approximately 4,100 square feet of finished interior space. Sited on a lush corner lot, a circular drive leads to classic Federal architecture and sets the tone for the refined elegance within. Originally constructed in 1856 by a member of the Robert E. Lee family, the home’s architectural legacy is immediately evident in its preserved millwork, heart pine floors, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and multiple fireplaces. The gracious front hall frames views through to the gardens and connects to formal living and dining rooms, a family room, two studies, and the updated kitchen with chef-grade appliances and an adjoining breakfast room. A powder room completes this level, and a breezeway leads to the two-car garage with a private suite above (5th bedroom) - ideal for guests or a quiet office. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a fireplace, custom dressing room, and marble-clad bath, along with an adjoining sitting room with a second walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete this floor. The lower level provides flexible utility space including storage, a wine cellar, laundry, and exterior access. The current owners have undertaken extensive, high-quality improvements, including a new copper-accented roof, Marvin architectural windows, five HVAC zones, structural and drainage reinforcement, updated electrical with surge protection, newer plumbing, new appliances, an added powder room, and comprehensive insulation upgrades—enhancing comfort while honoring the home’s architectural heritage. Set on nearly half an acre, the landscaped grounds offer exceptional privacy, with a slate terrace, pergola, fountain, mature trees, and lush perennial plantings creating a serene outdoor retreat. Stuart Land is a rare offering: an iconic Alexandria estate with deep historical lineage, beautifully restored and effortlessly livable for today—within easy reach of major commuter routes, Reagan National Airport, Old Town Alexandria, the Pentagon, and everyday conveniences.
