200 S Fairfax Street 1 Alexandria, VA 22314

The striking 4-story building at the corner of Prince and S. Fairfax Streets in Alexandria’s SE Quadrant is a well-known Old Town treasured jewel, called “Green’s Steam Furniture Works Condominium.” The circa 1790 building at 200 S. Fairfax Street has quite a history – from making bentwood rockers, wardrobes and shoes, healing soldiers in the Civil War, and later selling/servicing foreign cars, the garage was even a showroom for the wacky road and water-traveling Amphicar in the early 1960s.It was carefully designed as 16 residences in 1977-1978, by the revered local builders Ellsworth & Howell, who included covered parking and an interior patio courtyard for enjoyment and light. Over the years, owners have applied creative architecture to combine certain properties, meaning that there are now 12 unique properties within the building.HOORAY -- you have an opportunity to live the “soft urban” city life – think Paris, New York or London – such style and all in the very best location in town.
