The spacious living room with comfortable seating can accommodate 6-8 and leads to a fully-equipped kitchen with eating space for 2. The dining room which seats 6 opens to a hallway leading to the enclosed rear patio. The main level powder room and laundry are off the hallway. Upstairs find a large primary bedroom with ensuite full bath with shower and a smaller second bedroom, also with an ensuite bath with shower. A special spot with sofa, comfy chair and TV is adjacent to the master bedroom. The patio has plenty of comfortable seating for alfresco dining. and a beautiful weeping cherry. blooms in the Spring. The area is perfect with a "Walker's Paradise" score of 96. It is located in the middle of Old Town Alexandria, with it's charming streets, homes, shops and restaurants and is home to very hospitable residents.. You will be 1.5 blocks from the Town Center and the Farmers Market, 4 blocks to the Torpedo Factory and within walking distance of many fine restaurants, shops and parks. The Metro is .7 mile (a 20 -minute walk); however, there is a free trolley that travels on King street from the water-front to the King Street Metro. History abounds here!
