The Terrapin Place townhouse is a 1996-built, two-bedroom home spanning 1,162 square feet across a traditional multi-level configuration in Alexandria’s Franconia corridor. The layout positions two full baths on the upper level and a half bath on the main floor, a practical arrangement for everyday living. Assigned parking is included with the unit, and the HOA manages exterior maintenance, insurance, lawn care, pool access, snow removal, road maintenance, trash, and water service.

The Franconia area of Alexandria occupies the southern portion of Fairfax County, bordered by the Capital Beltway to the north and positioned along the I-95 and I-395 corridors.
