Although this is a reproduction, it does sit on the property where George Washington’s original Townhouse sat! Washington used the house as an office and for one-night stays in Alexandria. It was the only home built by Washington for his own use. During the Revolutionary War, he allowed friends and family to stay there. The original home was the only property he left to his wife, Martha. Over time it deteriorated and was demolished in 1855, but around 1960 it was reconstructed based on a drawing from a neighbor! You can read more about the history on the VRBO listing.
The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living space, a dining area, and a kitchen. Along with the home, there is a courtyard and storage shed. There used to be a stable where the shed is! The property is in Old Town which is within walking distance of museums, restaurants, bars, shops, and more.

It was clean, comfortable, and I would highly recommend. The pictures don’t do this place justice. Thank you for a great stay!“
