Late Summer Flowers Bloom in Old Town Alexandria

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage - ABR - SRES

The 100 block of North Columbus Street in Old Town Alexandria is awash in the color of late summer flowers

Home to private residences, a spa and an antique store, there is a pride of place, a calm, a sense of the what lies behind the closed door. 

And all who chance on this block leave with a smile.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Monaco two years ago and had one of the best vacations ever.  This is my "ideal place to live" when we either have enough money to have a second home or are retiring somewhere.  

The farmer's market, the local flavor, the bike ride to Mt. Vernon and the peanut butter banana pie...yummy!!!

Thanks for taking me on a virtual vacation!

Although I'm just across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, you reminded me how much I love Old Towne! Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

Gail,

We like it too and our church, Christ Church Alexandria, is directly across the street from here.

I'll do another set of shots this winter - they change plants with the season.

Virginia says thank you.  We'll have foliage and some flower well into October.  I can't even think about winter yet.
