1410 MOUNT VERNON Ave

OPEN Fri 5:30-7:30PM & SAT 1-3PM & SUN 11-1PM! With dual porches, fully fenced front and back yards, a brick patio, and the rare convenience of a REAR GARAGE accessed through a double-wide gate, 1410 Mt. Vernon Ave offers a unique combination that's nearly impossible to find in the heart of Del Ray. Located just six blocks from Braddock Road Metro and right on The Avenue, you'll be minutes from neighborhood favorites for coffee, dinner, groceries, boutique shopping, the farmers market, and the community events that make Del Ray one of Alexandria's most beloved neighborhoods.

Inside, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. The spacious living room features a decorative fireplace, while the kitchen offers granite countertops, abundant cabinetry with glass-front display cabinets, a European refrigerator, and French doors that open to the covered rear deck with pergola, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms with hardwood floors and a beautifully renovated full bath (down to the studs!) in 2026. Highlights include a soaking tub, all-new PEX plumbing, heated bidet hookups, custom cabinetry handcrafted by a local Virginia carpenter, and carefully selected tile and luxury fixtures that give the space a classic, timeless feel.

The oversized primary bedroom is another standout, offering two closets and enough space for a king-sized bed with room to spare while an oversized trio of windows fills the room with natural light.

The finished walk-out lower level provides flexible space for a family room, home office, gym, or playroom, along with a second full bathroom and laundry area. Recent improvements include plush new carpeting, recessed lighting, built-in under-stair storage, and a custom TV niche that makes the space even more functional.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers a brick patio and the flexibility of a double-wide gate for vehicle access to the garage from the rear alley - a feature that's exceptionally uncommon in Del Ray. The front yard is fully fenced as well, creating additional outdoor space to enjoy.

Over the past five years, the current owners have invested extensively in both the home's beauty and infrastructure. Improvements include a major electrical upgrade with recessed lighting throughout the main level, updated fixtures, switches, and tamper-resistant outlets, wiring for an induction range while preserving the existing gas line, garage electrical improvements, replaced skylights, a newer water heater, updated appliances, refreshed landscaping, and more.

Walkability, a rare rear garage, two inviting porches to enjoy sunrise to sunset, and meaningful improvements behind the walls - it's a combination that's genuinely difficult to find in Del Ray. Join us at one of our Open Houses this Saturday and Sunday 1pm to 3pm!
