The Luxury of Living Well in Old Town

There is a certain ease to life at Alexandria House. Set along Madison Street in Old Town North, the condominium occupies a particularly appealing position in Alexandria—close enough to the Potomac waterfront and the energy of King Street to make both part of everyday life, yet removed enough to retain a distinctly residential atmosphere.

For those familiar with Old Town, location is about more than an address. The neighborhood changes subtly from one block to the next. Historic King Street brings restaurants, independent shops, galleries, cafés, and a lively connection to the waterfront, while Old Town North offers a quieter residential character with its own collection of dining, fitness, shopping, and cultural destinations. Alexandria House sits naturally between these experiences, providing access to the best of Old Town without requiring residents to live in the middle of its busiest activity.

The building itself adds another layer of convenience. A 24-hour front desk concierge, on-site management and facilities engineer, controlled-access underground parking, package and locker storage, four elevators, and 24-hour security allow the practical details of daily life to be handled with ease. Private parking and additional storage are particularly valuable in a walkable urban neighborhood, where the ability to come and go effortlessly is part of the luxury.

The amenities extend well beyond the essentials. A rooftop swimming pool and sundeck create an elevated retreat above the city, while the fitness facility, saunas, and rooftop gathering room provide spaces for wellness, relaxation, and entertaining without leaving home. A library and lounge offer a quieter setting, while meeting and business spaces accommodate the demands of everyday life. Bike storage and EV charging add another measure of modern convenience.

The result is a building designed around the freedom to choose how the day is spent.

Morning can begin with a workout or coffee on a private balcony. An afternoon can unfold at the rooftop pool or along the Potomac. Dinner might mean walking toward King Street, while an evening at home can take advantage of the building's views, gathering spaces, or simply the quiet of a generously proportioned residence.

Many of the homes at Alexandria House reinforce that connection to the outdoors, with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors opening to private balconies. Depending on the residence, views extend across the Potomac River toward Washington, D.C., and National Harbor, bringing the changing light and movement of the river into the home. The combination of substantial interiors, outdoor space, and open views is increasingly distinctive in a historic, highly walkable neighborhood.

Old Town, Within Easy Reach

The appeal of Alexandria House is ultimately inseparable from the character of Old Town itself.

Founded in 1749 along the Potomac River, Alexandria developed as a port city, and the waterfront remains central to the city's identity. Today, the historic streets leading toward the river are home to restaurants, boutiques, galleries, parks, and gathering places, creating a neighborhood where history and contemporary city life exist side by side.

King Street remains the commercial and social spine of Old Town, gradually descending toward the waterfront. Along the way are some of Alexandria's most recognizable historic buildings and streetscapes, together with the restaurants and independent businesses that give the neighborhood its enduring sense of place.

Just north of this historic core, Old Town North offers a slightly different rhythm. The setting is more residential, but the conveniences of city living remain close at hand. Grocery shopping, dining, fitness, parks, waterfront paths, Metro access, and connections to Washington and Reagan National Airport are all part of the larger picture.

This is where Alexandria House distinguishes itself: a full-service condominium lifestyle paired with one of the Washington area's most walkable and character-rich neighborhoods.

The building provides the conveniences that make modern life simpler—concierge service, secure parking, fitness and wellness amenities, outdoor recreation, gathering spaces, storage, and on-site management—while the neighborhood provides everything that cannot be replicated inside a building: historic architecture, waterfront walks, independent restaurants and shops, parks, culture, and the unmistakable character of Old Town.

Together, they offer a particularly refined version of city living: the comfort of having almost everything within reach, and the freedom to enjoy it at your own pace.
