425 QUEEN St

Historic 1815 row house for rent in Old Town Alexandria, fully modernized, just 2 blocks from King Street and 4 blocks from the Alexandria waterfront, with a few secrets inside. This pet friendly rental welcomes dogs and cats! Bring your four legged family along for strolls down brick sidewalks to the Potomac River. Rent it furnished, partially furnished, or unfurnished. It’s your choice.

Original heart pine floors, a wood burning fireplace, and exposed brick carry the home’s historic character, while a full renovation brings it into the 21st century. The remodeled kitchen features granite countertops, a farm sink, tile backsplash, new cabinets, and a new refrigerator. The primary bath was rebuilt to the studs into a spa inspired retreat with a dual vanity and new shower, and the second full bath and main level half bath have also been completely redone.

Now for the fun part. This house is full of secrets. A hidden door in the family room leads upstairs. Can you find it? Bookshelves swing open to reveal a Murphy bed for overnight guests. And somewhere there’s a secret entrance to the lower level, where a true speakeasy awaits with a reclaimed wood bar, exposed stone walls, new brick, and a wine cellar. Even the laundry hides behind custom wood barn doors.

Head all the way up to the fourth level and you’ll find your own private home gym. Who else has a gym at home? You do. Cancel that membership!

Outside, gather around the fire pit with warm cider in the large private brick courtyard, shaded by mature trees and with access to the street.

New lighting, ceiling fans, and refinished floors upstairs complete the package. Old Town Alexandria residential parking permit available. Walk to Old Town shops, restaurants, Market Square, the Torpedo Factory, the waterfront, and the King Street Metro, with easy access to Washington DC, Reagan National Airport, and all of Northern Virginia.

Private tours available weekday evenings after 5pm and on weekends. Come see if you can find all the secrets!
