About this property

Beautiful 2 Bedroom with Loft in Heart of Old Town—sleeps 6

Welcome to Barrister Square—a beautiful penthouse in the shadow of the nation’s capital. The property is situated in the center of Alexandria's nationally designated historic district, just a half block from King Street and steps from the sights, shops, restaurants, and nightlife. With over 200 boutiques and independent restaurants, Alexandria is one of the best places to stay in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Barrister Square is a 12 minute ride from Reagan National Airport and less than a mile from the Alexandria King Street metro and Amtrak station.

The property was designed to anticipate your every need, with high-end finishes throughout. The open concept kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances and a bar integrated with a spiral staircase that leads to the loft and upstairs bedroom. The unit comes equipped with a brand new appliances, Roku-enabled televisions, and high speed wifi in every room. The primary bedroom on the main level is furnished with a queen bed, dresser, and vintage chaise. The adjacent master bath includes a waterfall rainhead shower and imported Italian tile. There is also a half bath on the main level. The loft area features a large screen television and couch, and the second bedroom includes 2 twins and 1 full size bed. The courtyard outside features a professionally landscaped garden with mature dogwood trees, and provides a quiet respite in the heart of the city.

Barrister Square was originally built as a small grouping of attorneys and law offices in a secluded courtyard in Old Town Alexandria. In the grand tradition of barrister history, Barrister Square honors the great heroes of law and (dis)order, cops and robbers, and crime and punishment. The property was designed with a tribute to the rich barrister tradition…think Bonnie and Clyde, the Supreme Court, Prohibition, and mugshots of notable outlaws.

A quick ride by boat, car, or train and you can find yourself at the National Mall, Georgetown, National Harbor, or Mount Vernon, making Old Town an exceptional home base for visiting our nation’s capital. The King Street Trolley is free and runs between the King Street Metro stop and the waterfront. On the waterfront you will find water taxis that will ferry you to various places on the Potomac River, including Georgetown, the Wharf, National Harbor and Mount Vernon. Capital Bike Share stations are located steps away, making it easy to explore the many miles of bike trails along the Potomac. There are many hiking and biking trails, such as the scenic Mount Vernon trail, that runs along the shore of the Potomac River. Whether you decide to explore the city, go sightseeing in Washington, or stay in and relax, Barrister Square offers a modern and relaxing base to explore and unwind.

Great Spot in Old Town
What a perfect spot to enjoy Alexandria. Steps from everything you need. Funky, clean and so convenient to the Metro for missions to DC. We hope to come back some fine day. Bonus points for adorable little school-children playing gleefully outside the kitchen window every morning. A heartwarming way to get our days started!

Perfect location
We had a great vacation in DC area with our teenage daughters. Old Town is a great place to stay and the location of this studio was perfect- tucked away from the bustle of King Street but yet right in the heart of it. Layout of the studio was also perfect for our family as there was a master bedroom downstairs for us and a nice bedroom with adjoining study upstairs for the girls giving them lots of privacy.
