Nestled in the heart of Alexandria City, Clarens Estate is a one-of-a-kind historic treasure that offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of American legacy. Originally built in 1803, this grand Colonial with 7BD 5.5BA, a pool house with 1BD 2BA, a carriage house with 1BD 1BA, and additional historic outhouses sits on nearly four acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds with views of the Potomac River.  Pre-construction, the land was reputed to have been the site of George Washington’s hunting lodge chosen for its commanding views and central location. Over the centuries, Clarens has played a pivotal role in American history—serving as a school, a hospital during the Civil War, and hosting some of the nation’s most prominent figures. Lovingly restored and modernized, Clarens is a serene retreat.
