Ideally located 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 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.
