Why the Owner Chose Washington
This is our primary residence. It is close to all the major DC landmarks, shopping areas, and metro, but is set in a quiet residential neighborhood of single family homes on larger lots and mature trees. We are right next door to the Knights of Columbus home and facility, which has pools, picnic areas, a pub, and event and catering facilities for large parties.
The Unique Benefits at this Single Family Home
You will have all the amenities of a luxury home, as well as access to a pool during the summer, during your stay. Parking is not an issue, while the DC metro is only a few minutes drive away.
Owner's Map of Washington
We split our time between our homes in Arlington and in Delaware. Keeping our beach home in show condition for vacation travelers over the years has helped us realize that we want to do the same for this home. We look forward to helping you make the most of your stay.
