Nestled in the George Washington Park neighborhood of Alexandria, 703 Braxton Place offers a rare blend of historic charm, generous space, and unbeatable location.
This 1930s Colonial with a 1974 addition provides an expansive layout perfect for multi-generational living, an au pair suite, or a separate home office, all within a stone’s throw of urban conveniences. Situated on an oversized lot backing to an alley, this property offers the convenience of off-street parking for two vehicles and ample space for entertaining outdoors.
Two cozy main-level living rooms (each with its own fireplace), a lower-level family room with a fireplace, and a large sunroom opening to the deck invite indoor-outdoor living. A unique dual-wing layout – essentially two houses in one – means two kitchens and distinct living quarters, offering exceptional privacy and flexibility for extended family or guests. This one-of-a-kind home is awaiting its next chapter – an opportunity for buyers to modernize and customize while capitalizing on its solid bones and prime location.
The George Washington Park Neighborhood
History & Heritage: George Washington Park is a historic hilltop enclave directly behind the iconic George Washington Masonic National Memorial. Established in 1908 on Shuter’s Hill, the city sold part of the land to the Masonic Memorial Association, which built the towering neo-classical Masonic Temple that still defines the skyline. The southern portion of the neighborhood became the Memorial’s grounds, but dozens of homes were built on the north side of Shuter’s Hill by the late 1910s. Walking through George Washington Park today, one can sense this legacy – a neighborhood where early-20th-century homes stand under the shadow of the Memorial’s timeless silhouette.
Neighborhood Highlights: Living in George Washington Park offers the best of both worlds – a tranquil residential pocket with urban amenities at your doorstep. The neighborhood’s walkability is a major draw. King Street Metro station and Alexandria Union Station (VRE/Amtrak) are within walking distance, 0.7 miles, making commutes or day trips to Washington, D.C. a breeze. The Masonic Temple grounds act as an informal community park – perfect for sunset strolls and picnics while enjoying panoramic views of the city.
Leave the car at home – here, you can truly live the Alexandria lifestyle on foot, by bike, or via transit:
Washington National Airport is only about 3 miles away – incredibly convenient for travel (you can even take Metro there).
This location offers unparalleled connectivity: whether by rail, road, or plane, you can go anywhere with ease.
Located less than a mile away (0.7 mi), the brand-new Douglas MacArthur Elementary School opened in 2023 with state-of-the-art facilities.
703 Braxton Place is more than a home – it’s a gateway to an active, fulfilling lifestyle. From here, you can immerse yourself in Alexandria’s rich recreation and cultural offerings with ease, and then retreat to your quiet neighborhood sanctuary at day’s end.
