Tannery House is a low-rise, garden-style condominium complex built in 1978 with four stories and primarily two-bedroom residences. The architecture blends traditional Old Town proportions with practical mid‑late 20th century construction; units typically feature nine-foot ceilings, classic crown moldings and chair rails, parquet or hardwood floors, and generous windows that emphasize natural light. Typical interiors include formal living and dining rooms, family-room-off-kitchen layouts or open plans, wood-burning fireplaces in many units, recessed lighting, upgraded kitchen counters and islands in renovated homes, and walk-in closets and dual-bath configurations in primary suites. Private outdoor spaces range from covered balconies to expansive terraces accessed through sliding-glass doors. Building amenities concentrate on convenience and neighborhood living: secure entry, elevator service in some buildings, assigned off-street parking (usually two spaces per unit), individual storage lockers, bike storage, and well-kept common areas with sidewalks and street lighting. Pet policies, condo fees, and on-site management vary by unit; HVAC and other systems are maintained at the unit level, with recent documented replacements in several homes. Located in Old Town Alexandria’s southeast quadrant, the property sits within easy walking distance of King Street, waterfront parks, shops, restaurants, transit options and recreational trails, offering a walkable, historically textured neighborhood lifestyle.
