Descrizione della casa che offriamo
Our charming, well-maintained Alexandria home is only a 10 min. drive to George Washington's famed Mt. Vernon plantation along a beautiful stretch of the Potomac River. But no need to drive if you want to see the best that DC offers as we are only 12 minutes from a Metro station that can take you to the center of the city in minutes. Washington's museums, galleries, public gardens & parks are among the best in the world, and most are free! (We even have free world class concerts!) Kids & adults alike love the hundreds of interactive activities at the Air & Space, Spy, natural history museums & the fabulous Newseum.. Other famed sights: the White House, U.S. Capitol & Congress, Supreme Court, National Galleries of Art, Library of Congress, & the Vietnam & Lincoln memorials. At the end of each hard day of touring, relax in the comfort & privacy of our family-friendly home: enjoy gorgeous garden views, cooling breezes & BBQ from our screened porch, decks, & patio.

I nostri consigli su cosa non perdere in questa zona
From our house, it is a minute drive or a 15-minute walk to the George Washington walk/bike path along the Potomac River. From there, head South about 5 miles to G. Washington's home at Mt. Vernon, or walk north to Old Town, Alexandria (the walk takes about an hour, but it's an easy bike ride). Old Town is a major tourist attraction& very charming. It has many excellent shops and restaurants, including Gadsby's Tavern, -which serves excellent early American fare in an 18th-century bldg. Washington, DC, National Capitol, House & Senate, Smithsonian museums, Spy Museum, Library of Congress, myriad others can be accessed within minutes w/out driving. Everything, including first class concerts, is free. Perfect for families.
