The house itself is exceptionally historically appealing. This turn-of-the-century Victorian was part of the railroad industry and culture in and around the Town of Potomac. Its Mount Jefferson and St. Elmo Trolley stops now house a three-block park that is well-used by families, dog walkers, and children playing. Del Ray is simply amazing. Del Ray citizens can enjoy a lively weekly farmers’ market, and standout cultural and arts events. 207 Laverne Avenue is accessible to bike paths and wildlife-filled walking trails, as well as convenient public transportation into Old Town Alexandria or the District in minutes.
Amazing location, steps to Del Ray’s Mount Vernon Avenue “The Avenue” Shops and Restaurants, future Potomac Yards Metro Stop (opening May 2023), Amazon HQ2, and Old Town Alexandria.
