Alexandria WOW House: Woodsy Retreat Hidden In The City

ALEXANDRIA, VA—This contemporary home in the woods is a far cry from many other properties around Alexandria.

It feels more like a wooded retreat with one acre of privacy and skylights offering views of the trees. On the other hand, you can still work in the city, because it's convenient to major highways.
