1909 Belfield Road, Alexandria, Va, 22307

Welcome to 1909 Belfield Road, tucked away on one of Belle Haven’s coveted cul-de-sacs. This home offers a rare blend of privacy and community. With no homes across the street, the setting feels secluded and peaceful — yet you’re just steps from one of Alexandria’s best walking neighborhoods. Tiered flower beds and lush green foliage frame a welcoming entrance, hinting at the light-filled, gracious home that awaits inside. This 100 year old 4-bedroom (all on the upper level), 3.5-bath (3 on the upper level) home, with a spectacular addition, beautifully balances old and new — historic character, like a charming powder room, blends seamlessly with the comfort and flow of modern living. The primary bedroom suite has a spa-like bath and a private balcony for morning coffee. Natural light pours through the home throughout the day. A family room sits right off the gorgeous granite kitchen. Separate dining room, a living room w/fireplace, an office/den, and a powder room are all on the main floor, A usable basement with garage & storage 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, a sweet yard, and an unbeatable Belle Haven location — this one is special. Click on the movie camera/virtual tour button for the interactive floor plans and photos.
