701 Devon Place

Set on a prominent corner within the charming enclave of Fagelson’s Addition—established in 1939—this storybook stone-and-brick residence feels as though it was lifted straight from the English countryside and thoughtfully placed in the heart of North Old Town. Rich with character yet seamlessly updated for modern living, the home offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and approximately 1,800 square feet of beautifully balanced interior space, including a sunroom addition with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rear garden.

Inside, timeless architectural details take center stage—from inlaid parquet floors to a classic wood-burning fireplace—while a series of smart improvements enhance comfort and livability. The kitchen has been opened to create a brighter, more functional layout, anchored by a quartz island with breakfast bar seating, ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Replacement casement windows flood the home with natural light while promoting excellent airflow throughout.

Major system upgrades provide peace of mind, including a new HVAC system (June 2023), slate shingle roof (2016) and flat roof (2020), both under a ten year warranty with Alexandria Roofing Co., and basement waterproofing with sump pump (2018). Additional enhancements include a Samsung refrigerator (2023) and a new heating and cooling wall unit for the sunroom addition (2021).

Outdoors, the property truly distinguishes itself. Sited on an exceptional 3,400 square foot corner lot—among the largest in the community—the home is framed by a manicured front garden and a private, walled rear garden that offers a rare sense of seclusion and scale.

The location is equally compelling. Positioned just off the George Washington Parkway, the home enjoys easy access to the Alexandria waterfront, the boutiques and restaurants of Old Town, and the vibrant offerings of Del Ray. Everyday conveniences and neighborhood favorites are just moments away, while nearby Metro access and major commuter routes provide seamless connectivity into Washington, DC and beyond.

A rare blend of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and an outstanding setting—this is North Old Town living at its finest.
