The Lafayette House nahe Market Square

Four-level Old Town Alexandria townhome for 8, one block north of King Street. Three king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, plus a loft with two twin beds. Private garage and parallel spot (small to midsize cars), fenced garden patio, fireplace, 500+ Mbps Wi-Fi. 1-min walk to Gadsby's Tavern, 3 min to Market Square and Tatte Bakery, 6 min to the waterfront and Torpedo Factory. Free trolley and DASH bus one block away; drive 6 min to Reagan National Airport (DCA).

Mornings start with coffee in the fenced garden patio under flowering trees; evenings end a block away on King Street, then back home to the fireplace. You park in your own garage or private spot, which in Old Town is close to a small miracle, and then you never need the car again.

The whole house is yours: 4 levels, 3 king bedrooms plus a twin loft (5 beds), 3.5 baths (3 en-suite), garage and private parallel parking spot, fenced garden patio.

WHO IT SUITS
Three couples, plus two more in the twin loft, or a family or group of up to 8. Every king bedroom has its own private en-suite bath. The loft is reached through the primary bedroom, so it works best for kids or close friends of whoever has that room. Great for walk-everywhere Old Town weekends, wedding weekends, and work trips to DC, the Pentagon or Reagan National.
