Steeped in history yet thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, 220 S. Fairfax Street is an exceptional detached residence originally built in the 1880s. An extensive renovation and expansion completed between 2022 and 2025 transformed the nearly 3,200-square-foot home while preserving its historic character. The residence offers four to five bedrooms, three full and one half baths, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and abundant natural light.
A striking rear addition features rare floor-to-ceiling black Marvin windows and doors connecting the interiors to a private rear courtyard. The expanded kitchen and family room showcase custom inset cabinetry, Honed Danby marble, herringbone hardwood flooring, designer fixtures, and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including a paneled refrigerator and dishwasher, built-in espresso maker, and wine refrigerator.
Flexible upper levels offer multiple bedroom configurations, including two primary suite options, private offices, or additional living spaces. Refined details include refinished original hardwoods, new flooring, elegant millwork, built-ins, designer lighting and wallpaper, plantation shutters, renovated baths, custom “Old Town” crystal doorknobs, and bespoke entry doors.
Outside, the courtyard features full-color flagstone, landscape lighting, and built-in storage, alongside a private alleyway, side entrance, and 500 square feet of basement storage. All major systems have been updated.
Just 1.5 blocks from King Street and three blocks from the Potomac waterfront, 220 S. Fairfax Street offers historic character with every modern luxury.
