THE DUKE TOWNHOMES & FLATS ANNOUNCES CUSTOMIZABLE FLOORPLANS FOR A LIMITED TIME.

OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, VA—10/01/2008

The Duke, a brand new neighborhood of townhomes and flats located in Old Town Alexandria’s prestigious historic district, announces customizable floorplans for a limited time.

With this special offer, The Duke is providing a level of personalization that goes way beyond the choice of finishes and options offered by most builders. Homebuyers at The Duke can add a second owner’s suite, reconfigure the kitchen, or even combine two adjoining flats.

The Duke is able to offer so much design flexibility because the neighborhood is in the early stages of construction and because its builder, Marquis Homes, has a long heritage as a custom homebuilder.

Marquis Homes is a member of the Van Metre Family of companies, one of the Washington region’s most successful real estate companies for over 50 years. Marquis built its reputation in the region creating million dollar-plus custom estate homes. Now homebuyers at The Duke are benefiting from Marquis’ renowned attention to detail and expertise with home customization.

“Our customizable floorplan offer has been really well received,” said Laurie Shultz, Director of Sales and Marketing for Marquis Homes. “Our buyers know what they want, and they really appreciate the fact that we’re willing to work with them to get their floorplan just right.”

In addition to The Duke’s customizable floorplans, the neighborhood’s “prime, walkable” location is another tremendous attraction. The Duke is located along the 1300 block of Duke Street, within easy walking distance of Metro, Whole Foods, the Potomac River, and 17 blocks worth of shops and restaurants along King Street.

The Duke’s townhomes and flats are designed around a landscaped courtyard where paved walkways create a sense of connectedness to the greater community of Old Town. Each home includes two parking spaces in a private-access underground garage.

Townhomes at The Duke are now selling from the high $700’s. Flats are now selling from the low $600’s. For more information, visit The Duke’s Sales Center at 118 N. Fayette Street.
