Look Inside: Restored, Expanded 1787 Home In Alexandria

Formal rooms with a modern twist are accompanied by features like a canopied deck and exercise room.

ALEXANDRIA, VA — There's plenty of appeal in the modern amenities and location of this home. But it also gets to claim its place among Old Town's oldest homes.

Built in 1788, the four-bedroom home has been restored and expanded to fit the modern lifestyle. A historic portrait deeded with the home, formal living and dining rooms, and wood beams in the family room remind you of its historic past.

One modern feature that can go to good use this summer is the deck with a canopy. There's also plenty to do nearby, as the home is located close to the waterfront and King Street.
