Gunston Hall
Located in Fairfax County near Lorton and Mason Neck, Gunston Hall Plantation was the center of a 5,500 acre tobacco and corn plantation. Owned by the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, George Mason IV (1725 – 1792), this Georgian style home and garden is now a National Historic Landmark.
It is now owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and administered by a Board of Regents appointed from the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America.
Gunston Hall is open from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm except holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. And special events are showcased throughout the year.
Guided tours are offered of the mansion and the 550 acres of ground. The hiking trails are open till 6:00pm.
Because we do business as Condo Alexandria, I'm often asked: do you only work with condos?
The answer is of course: no. Condo Alexandria works with all types of real estate in the Commonwealth of Virginia. But we do fill several niches and have expertise in a few specific areas that might be of interest to you.

Condo Alexandria serves the condo market in Alexandria (mainly in the West End and Old Town), Crystal City, Pentagon City, Arlington, Fairfax County, and Kingstowne. Our focus these days is on buyers and landlords. As a buyer's agent we are well equipped to find the property that suits you needs and make the sale proceed smoothly and quickly. As property manager we take the hassle out of being a landlord. We of course have listings for sale but if the time isn't right to sell, we'll let you know and advise you of your best options.
Condo Alexandria also does business as Nesbitt Realty. In the capacity as Nesbitt Realty, we focus on homes and properties near our offices and homes.
Our agents and I have particularly good insight in Alexandria especially around Bucknell and Belle Haven, but also in Kingstowne and Old Town. These neighborhoods have condos, but they also have single family homes and town houses.
If you have questions or if I can be of service, please don't hesitate to contact me! If you need help finding properties please help yourself to our fast and free database of properties that are currently on the market. The number of listings that are available can sometimes be overwhelming, so feel free to contact me if you'd like for us to do the search.

At Condo Alexandria, we take very seriously our duties at property managers. One thing we do NOT play around with is rent checks. When a rent check bounces, we go into action taking the following actions as our discretion dictates:
We hand deliver a letter and notice stating the check has bounced which includes a photocopy of the bounced check front and back. That notice includes a 3 day "pay or quit" notice.
We give the tenant 72 hours to cover the check. The tenant must also pay all bank fee's which we have been charged. Our notice makes clear that if the bad check is not covered within the time allotted, we will turn it over to the commonwealth attorney for prosecution.
Payment must be make with either a money order or a cashier's check. Cash or checks are not accepted.
Condo Alexandria demand the payment be made personally. We will accept shipment only where a tracking number can verify where and when the check was sent and where it will arrive.
If the funds are not delivered in time, we take action immediately. We've been doing this too long and heard too many stories to let the matter linger. We can always call off an eviction, but we can never recoup lost days. We also inform the tenant that once the attorney is involved, the tenant will be responsible for those fees as well.
