14 Link to Yahoo MAP | | Address: | 1601 Collingwood Road, Alexandria, 22308 | | Description: | My top favorite...Extremely large house and yard with beautifully done lights everywhere! Very classy and tacky at the same time. I loved the ground cover done in green lights with the larger red (berry) lights.
Also, many groups of lighted deer figures. And the homeowner does all this, not a landscape company...
On Dec 1 to Jan 6. 5:30p-10:20p. OFF during rain.
PLEASE, NO U TURNS ON COLLINGWOOD!!
Display Enhancments over the years:
