Property Description

Welcome to 1244 Barrister Street—an architectural treasure in the heart of Alexandria's Garden District. Known as the Scott-Thomas-McDaniel House, this 6-bedroom, 4 ½ bath home has been lovingly passed through three generations and was fully restored in 2007 to preserve its historic charm while elevating comfort and function. Originally built in 1914 and expanded in 1927, the home features a hand-crafted curved staircase, a well-functioning elevator, an upstairs balcony overlooking the garden, original hardwood floors, rich millwork, and a front walkway laid by the original family—a timeless welcome still in place today. The gracious layout includes expansive living areas, a formal dining room, and a cheerful sunroom looking out on the spacious yard with original brick patios, lighting and professionally installed drainage system. The kitchen and attached workroom was completely renovated in 2016 and now blends classic character with modern convenience, offering custom cabinetry, double ovens, new appliances, and thoughtful storage solutions. A cozy, hidden under-stair play “cubby” and a converted attic “slumber room” add warmth and hospitality. The home includes a detached garage apartment (c. 1941), perfect for guests, a rental, or even an owner's or manager's retreat—also making this property an ideal setup for a bed-and-breakfast. The home's layout and charm are perfectly suited for hosting, and two additional homes across the street (also for sale by same owner) offer unique expansion or residence options for the host or guests. Every update—from electrical to HVAC to recirculating hot water—was completed with care and respect for the home's legacy. And with the addition of 36 solar panels, this historic property also embraces sustainable living and energy efficiency. Spacious, story-filled, and embedded with history, 1244 Barrister is ready for its next chapter.
