404 Duke St · Apartment for Rent

A rare opportunity to live within a piece of Old Town Alexandria history. Welcome to the Elisha Janney House at 404 Duke Street, an extraordinary circa-1809 residence offering more than 5,200 square feet across five beautifully preserved levels in the heart of historic Old Town. Distinguished by its Georgian heritage, grand proportions, beautiful masonry, and remarkable architectural character, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers an exceptional combination of elegance, space, and versatility. Inside, historic grandeur meets everyday living. Beautiful hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, elegant fireplaces, and abundant natural light carry throughout the home. The main level was designed for both entertaining and everyday life, with expansive formal living and dining rooms flowing into a bright family room and beautifully appointed kitchen. French doors open to an enchanting private brick patio framed by mature trees, lush greenery, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens, creating a secluded outdoor retreat in the heart of Old Town. The second level feels like a private residence of its own, featuring an exceptionally spacious primary bedroom, full bath, expansive sitting room, and a gorgeous window-lined sunroom overlooking the greenery below. The upper levels offer four additional bedrooms, additional baths, laundry, generous storage, and a collection of flexible spaces ideal for a home office, library, studio, guest quarters, or private sitting rooms. The lower level provides even more usable space and storage, further adding to the extraordinary scale of the home. Every floor reveals something special, from sun-filled rooms and beautifully preserved architectural details to quiet spaces tucked away from the main living areas. The result is a home that feels substantial without sacrificing warmth: timeless, sophisticated, wonderfully bright, and exceptionally well cared for. Set at Duke and Royal Streets, 404 Duke places you in the heart of one of Alexandria’s most treasured historic neighborhoods. The Old Town waterfront, King Street, acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, galleries, parks, and the Torpedo Factory Art Center are all nearby, with Waterfront Park and Windmill Hill Park also moments from the home.
