Property Description
This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home beautifully balances old and new — historic character, like a charming powder room, blends seamlessly with the comfort and flow of modern living. Natural light pours through the home throughout the day, and the usable basement with garage adds everyday practicality that's hard to find in a home with this much charm.
Location is everything here: enjoy easy access to Old Town Alexandria and take advantage of being just moments from the Potomac River and the Mount Vernon Trail — ideal for morning walks, runs, or bike rides along the water.
This Belle Haven home holds a rare piece of American history. Purchased in 1954, it was for 69 years the home of Mary Barelli Gallagher, personal secretary to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Mrs. Gallagher's close relationship with the Kennedy family brought Jackie Kennedy and her children, Caroline and John Jr., to this house often — many days were spent here, away from the pressures of the White House, so the children could enjoy time playing with the Gallagher boys in a normal, unguarded setting.
A quiet street, a beautiful home, and an unbeatable Belle Haven location — this one is special.
