About this property

Gorgeous Chateau/House on 1.5 acres - in Annandale Center/ mins to Washington DC

A stunning chateau style mansion sitting on 1.5 acres of beautifully kept gardens/lawn - a truly private and peaceful oasis RIGHT IN THE CITY.

We are central to all Major DMV destinations and cities.

The home rented out is the entire main (first) and second floor which totals 4,900 sq feet.

There will be no hosts or others sharing the areas of the house above being rented out.

The basement is a separate apartment with it’s own exterior entrance/exit, driveway, parking space and even garage.

The basement is not a part of this house being rented out. The basement can not be accessed from the interior of the home.

We have a lovely couple that resides part time in the separated basement of this home. They frequently travel for work and reside here a few weeks in the month.

—————————————
Top/Second Floor:
Master bedroom with full shower and whirlpool jetted soaking tub.

Two large spacious walk-in closets for the master bedroom.

A walk out balcony with views as far as Crystal City.

An additional private bedroom WITHIN the Master Bedroom suite, with its' own bed, nightstand, etc. - perfect for smaller children that want to stay in very close proximity to their parents. (Baby Bjorn Travel Crib available on request for nominal fee of $35 per stay - to cover cleaning and thorough sanitation of item)
Cable TV in this room.

Laundry washer and dryer is located in the Master bedroom suite.

The second bedroom has it's own private bath with shower, cable TV, a queen bed, and a walk-out balcony with the same beautiful views as the master bedroom.

The third and forth bedrooms share a jack and jill style bathroom with shower.
Each bedroom accommodates 4, with a full size bunk beds and matching twin beds. Each room has its own closet.

Main/First floor:
A 3 car garage, spacious kitchen with sun room, a formal dining room, sitting room, family room with Cable TV, and entertainment room directly connected to a covered patio/deck with grill and patio table + chairs.

We do not have any bedrooms on the main floor & there is a flight of stairs that need to be taken in order to access the second/top floor where the bedrooms are located.

There will be no hosts or others sharing the house being rented out.

The basement is not a part of this house being rented out. The basement can not be accessed from the interior of the home.

The house has a generator and the latest tankless heat water system, never have fear of being without electricity and always have hot water during your stay.

Blender & Keurig-style coffee maker with starter pods and tea is provided for all stays.

Fireplaces have all been closed for safety. A past incident left the entire house filled with smoke because the chimney damper was not opened when a fire was started. We have since closed access to the fireplaces at the property.

The gardens are absolutely lovely and instagram worthy with benches and well manicured pine trees for a peaceful evening after a long day exploring the city.

Animal-free zone: This house is an animal-free zone as the host’s elderly mother & caretaker are both asthmatic and highly allergic. We have found deep cleanings are still not able to fully rid the house of animal dander after an animal has stayed.

We hope those who end up staying will love this home as much as we do.

Perfect for our needs

We needed a place for my wife and I to stay with our 6 kids (5-14) while we visited with family in the area over the Easter weekend. This house exceeded our expectations. The kids loved all of the space that they had to play and hang out in the house. Highly recommended. We even spent a day at the nearby nature center which was beautiful and the perfect place for the kids to run around and play with their cousins.

Beautiful home

This home was both beautiful and spacious and was a lovely place for our whole family to be able to visit and enjoy our stay together while we were in town. Lots of good local restaurants a mile away from the property and the owner was amazing with any communication and questions we had. We would absolutely recommend and will rent again if we are ever in town

Good / Large location for DC area exploring

Plenty of space. House was clean. Could use one or two more TVs and maybe another couch for one of the rooms. There are caretakers who reside in the secured basement. This should be communicated to potential renters.

Perfect location

We had a great visit. We wanted everyone to be comfortable in their own space while being together. We were very close to DC to visit monuments, but far enough away to enjoy the seclusion. The owner was very helpful and replied quickly with any questions or concerns we had. We would definitely go back.

Great VA Stay

One of us inadvertently activated the alarm. We could not get it to stop. The mgr came right over and deactivated it. My six year old grandson called the house “Wayne Manor” due to the size and open floor plan. Recommend this house for a larger group. Awesome place.
