A prestigious address is just the beginning.

The privilege of living at The Duke by Marquis Homes goes beyond having a world-class address just steps from shops, restaurants and Metro. Here, your confidence and peace-of-mind also come standard. At Marquis Homes, in addition to our heritage as a custom homebuilder, we are a proud member of the Van Metre Family of Companies.

  • Keeping promises since 1955. Marquis Homes is a Van Metre Company, one of the Washington Region’s most respected home builders and real estate companies for over half a century. The Van Metre Family of Companies specializes in many diverse aspects of real estate development, including the design and construction of custom homes, condominiums, apartment communities, and major commercial sites. With the backing of Van Metre’s extensive resources and financial strength, you can rest assured The Duke will live up to its promise to become Old Town’s new Marquis Address.

  • Built by Marquis Homes means built to a higher standard of excellence. Every exterior inch of The Duke is built of masonry. The Townhomes feature period-style brick on all sides and The Flats boast all concrete construction. The result? Homes that live quieter, withstand wear, and maintain their beauty for years to come.

  • Thoughtfully designed community spaces inside and out. Whether you need a quick workout before heading to work, or just want a central meeting place to relax with neighbors, The Duke delivers. Inside, you’ll enjoy a convenient fitness room as well as a comfortably furnished community room. Outside, a landscaped courtyard puts benches, green space and paved walking paths right at your doorstep.

  • Live in the Historic District and never think twice about parking. Every home includes one parking space in The Duke’s private-access underground garage. An optional second parking space is also available to every homeowner.

  • Storage may be scarce in other homes in the Historic District but not at The Duke. Generous closets and storage spaces are included in every home design. Additionally, optional storage is available in the underground garage.
