About this property
Charming Old Town Jewel Box on Captain's Row one Block from the Potomac River
It's no surprise this spectacular Captain’s Row residence has been featured in Southern Living magazine. If you are looking for a unique, home in the heart of Old Town, look no further!
Entering the residence from the famous cobblestone street, Captain's Row, a solid carved mahogany door welcomes you into the enchanted garden foyer entrance. The first level holds an updated 1/2 bath, coat closet, and beautiful entrance to the backyard veranda and one-of-a-kind garden. The main level, 2nd floor, features an elegant chef’s kitchen and living room with a gas fireplace. The upper-3rd level bedroom (king) offers an en suite full bath with designer details. On the 4th level (open loft above the Master bedroom) you will find a queen Murphy bed cabinet, a large closet, and a full-size washer and dryer. This home is an unexpected jewel box just steps from King Street, Union Street, and the Potomac River with easy access to National Airport, Amazon, and DC.
With easy access to National Airport, Amazon HQ2, and DC, it's easy to see why Alexandria was named the top 3 best small US cities by Conde Nast Traveler.
This home is an unexpected jewel box close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit.

About the host
Hosted by Amy
I fell in love with Old Town when I visited a college friend living on South St. Asaph Street. Six months later, I bought my own home just a few blocks away. After having three children, my husband and I moved closer to Mount Vernon for more space and a bigger yard. Now, 20 years later, I’m back!
