Why Cheryl T Hornyan chose Old Town Alexandria
Robert & I decided that we wanted to purchase a place near our youngest daughter, who has lived in the DC area for a few years now. While looking at homes in Old Town Alexandria, we fell for the history of this house (built in the 1700s by Captain John Harper), as well as the accessibility of all that Old Town has to offer and it's close proximity to the metro, so that we can easily traipse into DC when we wish without needing a car.
What makes this townhome unique
When you open the door to this place, it is like stepping back in time. We fell in love with every quirky thing about this house, from the window between the living and dining areas that slants toward the right, to the crazy staircase that leads to the third floor bedroom. Yet, the place still has all the modern amenities that provide us with a comfortable place to stay when we visit our family. Unfortunately, we only get to visit about every 6 weeks, which is why we decided to make it available on HomeAway. Many people visit Captains Row but our home is currently the only opportunity for people to actually experience it.
