Summary:
Welcome to Bishop's Terrace, a Poshabodes luxury home! At Poshabodes, we go beyond just providing a place to stay. We ensure that every aspect of your visit is infused with luxury, comfort, and a personal touch.

Relax your mind and heighten all your senses at Bishop’s Terrace, a luxury townhome with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in its 1,500-square-foot space.

The Space:
Though built to be a modern retreat, this home is nevertheless imbued with all the charm and architectural relevance of Alexandria’s older dwellings. From a beautiful brick exterior to high ceilings and crown molding, this townhome reconciles its classic aesthetic with a more contemporary way of living.

Located in Alexandria’s tranquil Southeast Quadrant, Bishop’s Terrace is walking distance to the best of this area, from bustling bistros to breezy waterfront green spaces. You can reach ever-popular King Street on foot in just a few minutes, where you’ll find everything from wine tasting rooms and flower shops to boutiques and art galleries. All the splendor of the riverfront is just five blocks away. And Washington D.C.’s many buzzworthy museums, restaurants, and shops are a short drive or water taxi away.

About this property

Tucked into what feels like its own mini village, Bishop’s Terrace is warm and welcoming with classic architectural features like exposed beams, a brick fireplace, and hardwood floors. Brand-new furniture and two recently remodeled bathrooms give the space a touch of modern style and convenience.

As you enter the home, you’re met with a warm and inviting living space that includes a luxurious sectional sofa, a flat-screen TV, and elegant decorative touches. Walk through the hall to the updated kitchen, featuring dramatic beams, marble countertops, and a stylish brick wall. From here, you can catch a glimpse of the new bluestone patio, a private space for sipping wine or enjoying a book in the afternoon sun. As in every Poshabodes property, the kitchen includes a complete coffee station with a nespresso maker and all the accessories.

Two sumptuous bedrooms await on the second floor, both with king-size beds, eye-catching patterned wallpaper, and soothing color schemes. Immaculately clean with gilded touches, the second-floor bathroom boasts a shower/tub combo.

Head to the third floor to find two more guest bedrooms, both chic in their own way. One features classic decor and a queen-size canopy bed, plus a small work area with a desk and a large flat screen TV. The other is bright and playful and boasts a queen-size daybed (with twin trundle), a mid-century modern seating area, and a flat screen TV. These rooms share a full bathroom with a breathtaking marble shower.

The Neighborhood:
Old Town Alexandria
With a history spanning more than 250 years, this delightful town still bears many hallmarks of its fascinating past. Old Town is packed with museums and landmarks that make you feel like you’ve stepped aboard a time machine. Its narrow, cobblestone streets are lined with centuries-old row homes, and European-inspired storefronts along main thoroughfares such as King Street are a treat for the eyes. Dine in locally owned eateries and shop at independent retailers — the choices are seemingly endless. There’s no better time to experience the magic of Old Town than during the holidays, when buildings are decked out in glittering lights and seasonal décor.

Washington, DC
The nation’s capital is the cultural and historic heartbeat of the nation, and with around 70 museums, it’s a prime spot for curious, knowledge-seeking travelers. After a visit to the Washington or Lincoln monuments, explore buzzy neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, H Street Corridor, or Dupont Circle, where eateries and bars bring together the local crowd. Performance venues and arts organizations scattered throughout town showcase American art and music in all its forms. To appreciate natural beauty, head to one of the many parks dotting the landscape, including Rock Creek Park and Glover Archbold Park, or settle in near Georgetown Waterfront Park overlooking the Potomac River.

Getting Around:
Bishop's Terrace has a walk score of 95! So, you can easily get around Old Town on foot. However, when needed, there is plenty of public transportation, including buses and the metro. There is a free trolley that goes up and down King St to the King St metro station. Uber and Lyft are also readily available.
