Old Town is known for its 18th-Century buildings and colonial architecture. Abingdon Row fits nicely into the look and feel of Old Town. Abingdon Row is newly constructed, but the design takes it cues from the historical architectural details that are common to Old Town's 18th century spirit. The columns and pilasters of Abingdon Row together with the arched windows and iron-railed terraces are all tied together by stately brickwork.

Abingdon Row is at the north end of Old Town. It's a place a few blocks off the main drag, so traffic there is little cut-through traffic. These condos are just a few blocks from the waterfront, Oronoco Bay Park and Founders Park.   The development promises (and mostly delivers) luxurious high-end condos in the heart of Old Town, Alexandria.

Abingdon Row was built by a family-owned real estate development company that specializes in innovative infill residential development. Before Abingdon Row, the Holladay Corporation had already built over 16,000 homes---including single-family residences, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. An on-site visitor will quicky notice the attention to detail and the craftsmanship of the builders at Abingdon Row.

The common areas have all the amenities one would expect in a luxury development and a few pleasant surprises. The building has controlled access and reserved underground parking. Most homes include storage areas. The community rooftop deck is quite pleasant, as is the courtyard at the heart of the property.

The kitchens feature granite countertops, maple cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A 30" gas range will delight the gourmet chef in your family. There are hardwood floods in the kitchen and on into the living room, dining room, foyer and kitchen. 9' Ceilings in Living Areas impart a sense of grandeur to the feel of the unit. Details such as recessed lighting, and fine two panel interior doors compliment the architectural styling that is Old Town, yet modern.

Each unit has its own high efficiency electric heat and air conditioning systems as well as a full sized washer and dryer. Selected homes have balconies, patios and rooftop decks.

Units vary in price based upon the number of bedrooms and upgrades and features such as the balconies.  The builder has a sales office on-site, but buyers have the right to select their own representation.
