This entire historic townhouse renovation in Old Town Alexandria revitalized the home while preserving the architectural character that defines the neighborhood. The project included a full interior refresh with custom-built-in cabinetry in the living room, designed to complement the home’s traditional detailing and enhance storage without disrupting the historic aesthetic.

A new butler’s pantry was created with custom cabinetry inspired by Old Town’s classic millwork traditions, adding warmth, function, and a sense of craftsmanship to the main level. One of the most transformative elements of the renovation was the conversion of the existing attic, which was finished to include a new guest bedroom, a new bathroom, and built‑in storage that maximizes the unique geometry of the space.

Throughout the home, original doors, moldings, and finishes were preserved or restored, ensuring the renovation respected the townhouse’s historic identity while introducing modern comfort and usability.

UNIK Creative Studio handled the permitting process, ensuring all updates aligned with Alexandria’s historic and building requirements.

The result is a cohesive, elevated transformation that honors the home’s past while enhancing its livability. The homeowner now enjoys a refreshed, functional, and beautifully updated historic residence that feels both timeless and renewed.
