Description
We’d love to share our home with you! Why stay cramped in hotel rooms when you can come back home every night? We love hosting families or group gatherings, whether its touring Old Town and DC, reunions, attending a wedding or graduation or visiting your local friends and relatives. We spend as much time here as we can, when guests like you are not staying.A perfect base for exploring the area, but the house is also walking distance to one the area’s best locations — Old Town Alexandria. Its a stone’s throw from the Capitol, minutes to Reagan National airport, and just steps away from everything Old Town Alexandria has to offer. This is not a sterile hotel room or bland corporate lodging, it’s really like visiting a friend’s place. You will look forward to returning home during your stay.The house is a historic 1850s home which we’ve updated to modern standards. On Queen Street, it is just steps away from the center of Old Town Alexandria. Unlike most homes in Old Town, this house is large and spacious, spread out over 2600 square feet of living space. A great place to gather your friends and family. Plan your dinner out in Old Town or cook a meal at home in the well appointed full sized kitchen. There is room to spend time together in the large living room, basement family room, or out back on the private patio and yard. With multiple spaces, you decide whether to hang our together or in smaller groups.The house also includes a private fenced yard for relaxing or playing corn hole and a beautiful patio. There is off street parking for your cars, you won’t need them here.The large house has been renovated and modernized from top to bottom with gorgeous details throughout — crown molding, built in bookshelves, exposed brick, working fireplace, full sized stocked kitchen. We live in the nearby suburbs but often stay here ourselves and know you will feel like its your home away from home too.Perfect for families or groups with plenty of space to spread out in. The house has three bedrooms and has room to sleep 12. Two bedrooms on the second floor each have queen beds, the basement includes a family room and separate bedroom with 2 double beds. In addition, there is sleeping for two more on a futon couch in the attic media room. An additional pull out sofa in the main floor living room will accommodate 2. You will need to do upstairs or downstairs to the bedrooms, sorry, there are no bedrooms on the main level.Large comfy finished basement also has TV and room to relax on the large sectional couch. Clawfoot tubs and showers in the 2 modern full baths, and one additional 1/2 bath. Hard to find in Old Town, is the large fenced yard with beautiful private outdoor patio for you to relax. A great place for a cook out, or use our corn hole set while sitting around the fire pit on a chilly fall night. There is also a playground and basketball court right at the corner.To explore Old Town, you won’t need your car. We are just two blocks from King Street, which is the main street through Old Town. Its just a few minute walk to sights, shops, restaurants, and nightlife. If you feel lazy, there is the free Old Town Trolley that goes the length of King Street, stopping at both the King Street metro station and the waterfront There is a stop every few blocks, just hop on and you can ride down to the waterfront. City Bike rental stations are also nearby. Its easy to go out and enjoy all the great shops, historic sites and restaurants in Old Town.The metro is also just five blocks away for easy access to downtown DC. And we have off street parking for 2 cars accessed through the alley.
