Minutes from charming Delray - Alexandria - Minutes from Old Town ⊹ Minutes from D.C ⊹ Minutes from The George Washington Masonic Memorial ⊹ George Washington's Mount Vernon ⊹ Fine Dining ⊹ Micro Breweries ⊹ Coffee Shops ⊹ Bakeries ⊹ Public Transit (VRE/Metro) ⊹ Shopping ⊹Alexandria Waterfront

This cosy 2 story home has free residential driveway parking and free street parking. Set in a charming and historic Delray neighborhood of Alexandria, enjoy long walks along side-walked streets to view nearby historic homes. Walk to local coffee shops and a gourmet wine market. Drive 10 mins to Old Town Alexandria. Drive 13 minutes via 395 to cross the Potomac into our Nations Capitol, Washington DC. You may also take advantage of one of the several bike/scooter shares that are offered in the area.

This property is conveniently located with access to multiple forms of public transportation.

Dash Bus: DASH is a local bus service that is free to riders. It travels all over Alexandria, but will not take you into DC. You can hop on the Dash Bus just a few feet from the front door in both directions.

WMAT Bus: If you were to take a WMAT bus which travels around Northern VA and DC, you would have to either use your phone, acquire a smartrip card, or have exact change on the bus itself.

Metro: We are located about 1 mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over a ½ mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop at the end of our block for the free Alexandria city bus (Dash) that runs directly to the Metro stop. {Trains: Blue and Yellow Lines}. It would take you less than 3 mins by car and probably 10-15 mins to walk to Braddock Station if the weather was nice.

Amtrak: Amtrak provides interstate travel and also has a stop at King Street. If headed north, the next stop after King Street is Union Station in Washington DC. Please check their website for schedules and available stops.

King Street Trolley: Not really an option from the house, but fun nonetheless if you're in Old Town. The King Street Trolley runs every 15 minutes between Alexandria City Hall/Market Square and the King St – Old Town Metrorail station from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays. That said the closest spot you could pick it up would be about 2 miles down towards Old Town.

**There are also ample Uber and Lyft rides in the area.

Quiet historical house in Alexandria

The property was beautifully presented and we loved the historical features and decoration of the house. The Metro was conveniently close - a short walk which made it very easy to get around Washington. The bottle of wine to welcome us was much appreciated. A quiet area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

This is a beautiful house that is well equipped and maintained in a lovely neighborhood. It has the feeling of living in Virginia during the colonial period. I was expecting George Washington to ring the bell and say hello.Thank you for hosting us- Greg

Cozy house

Relatively nice place. Small rooms which is typical for the neighborhood. Very clean. Neighborhood is quiet. House next door is pretty sketchy (two abandoned cars in the driveway.) Landscape needs attention as the bushes almost obscured the front door. Hosts were very responsive.

Charming Property!

We stayed at this beautiful home for 5 nights while we saw the sights in Washington DC. It was an easy 20 minute drive to DC and staying in this quiet Alexandria neighborhood was a perfect way to get away from the bustling city. The house is as listed and the pictures accurately represent the size and layout. We booked it based on the charm of the decor and it did not disappoint. The home was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Parking was super easy and, although we didn’t have much time to spend there, the outdoor space was nice. The property owners were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to stay in the DC/Alexandria area.
