About 206 E Nelson Ave

Outside, the expansive backyard offers plenty of room for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. With shops, restaurants, neighborhood favorites, and Metro access all nearby, the location delivers everything people love about Del Ray while remaining just minutes from Old Town. For anyone who cannot decide between living in Del Ray or being close to Old Town, this home asks: Why not both?
