Attractively priced and ready for renovation. This 3 BR, 2 BA Cape Cod in popular Bucknell Manor offers 1,640 finished sq ft — large for this area. The two-level home features hardwood floors throughout, ceramic tile bathrooms, a detached two-car garage, and a woodburning fireplace with air blower, both rare finds in this community. The main-level primary suite includes a bathroom with steam shower and body sprays, updated in 2023.
Major systems have already been addressed: new roof (2022), new HVAC and gas furnace (2023), and new tankless water heater (2022) — leaving the rest of the home and yard as a blank slate for renovation, inside and out.
The fully fenced rear yard includes a brick paver patio, a wood deck reinforced for a hot tub with pergola and built-in BBQ, a stone water fountain with pump, and multiple storage sheds. Natural gas heat and hot water, public water/sewer, and no HOA.
Priced below the 2026 tax assessment of $683,570 and well below area comps — an excellent opportunity for investors or HGTV-minded buyers to build sweat equity in a great location. Zoned for Belle View ES, Sandburg MS, and West Potomac HS.
Bucknell Manor is just blocks from Belle View Shopping Center (Safeway, CVS, casual dining) and a short drive from Old Town Alexandria's boutiques, restaurants, and King Street entertainment district. Nearby recreation includes White Oak Park, Fort Hunt Park, Westgrove Dog Park, the Mount Vernon Recreation Center, and the Mount Vernon Trail along the Potomac, with Belle Haven Marina and Belle Haven Country Club (golf, tennis, swimming) minutes away. Commuters have easy access to the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, and the National Landing/Amazon HQ2 corridor via the GW Parkway, Richmond Highway, and I-495/I-95. Huntington Metro Station (Yellow Line) and Alexandria Union Station (VRE/Amtrak) provide regional rail access, with Reagan National Airport about 20 minutes away.
