Why they chose this property
In the heart of the most popular part of historic Old Town Alexandria. 3 bedrooms - 1 Cal King and two Queens, each with their own private bath.
What makes this property unique
Historic cobblestone street, one block from the waterfront, right in the place you would drive to park your car to visit. The place where countless photographers bring their clients to take pictures. Three blocks to catch the free trolly to the metro to go to downtown DC. You can also take a water taxi to DC or boat tour to George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate.
