George Washington never slept here, but he would have loved it! Charming 2-bedroom, end-unit townhome has been lovingly cared for by its original owner. Situated within the Old and Historic Alexandria District, it has an historic feel but with modern amenities. The gracious Living Room boasts a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful mantelpiece, carefully selected by the owner. A separate Dining Room supports formal dining, while the breakfast nook in the Kitchen is more casual. A delightful brick floor enhances the Kitchen, and stately oak wood floors enrich the rest of the home. The laundry area is conveniently located beside the breakfast nook. Upstairs on the bedroom level, you'll marvel at the low-tech ingenuity of the "busybody mirror" (an invention often attributed to Benjamin Franklin), which provides a view of the front door from one of the generously-sized bedrooms. A lovely fenced brick patio area off the Kitchen has a gate leading directly to the assigned parking space in the private community parking lot ... a HUGE bonus for Old Town living. Only 2 blocks to either King St or Washington St, the home sits right in the midst of all the shopping, dining, historic attractions, hiking/biking/boating activities, and night life Old Town Alexandria has to offer. Or take a short ferry ride (or drive over the bridge) to Maryland's National Harbor Waterfront resort, with its casino, shows, shopping, dining, and the iconic Capital Wheel. A commuter's dream, the home is convenient to the King Street Metro Station and the Alexandria Amtrak Station, as well as I-95/495, the George Washington Parkway, U.S. Route 1, and Reagan Washington National Airport. Just 4 miles to the new Amazon HQ2 at National Landing. *****New Water Heater in 2021, New Dishwasher in 2022****
