Perfectly situated in one of Alexandria's most sought-after neighborhoods, you've found a true gem. Where simple living, a strong sense of community from everyone around you meets very easy access to commuting and all that Alexandria has to offer. 53 Mount Vernon Ave is a 3 minute walk to the King St Metro and Amtrak Station for commuters during the week. On the weekends you can enjoy a 15 minute stroll to the center of King St in Old Town or a bike ride over to The Avenue in Del Ray to hit farmers markets, coffee shops, or evening dinners. The location alone allows for a 25 minute blue or yellow line ride to Union Station and just a 10 minute ride to Reagan National. Groceries are a simple 10 minute walk away as well as some of the best restaurants Old Town has. Walking into the home you'll find an opened and easy transition from the living room to kitchen with a peninsula for extra counter space. Updated countertops and cabinetry coupled with a gas range is a home chefs dream. The coat closet on the first floor has room for storage and houses the stackable washer dryer. The back utility room offers plenty of space for a pantry and additional storage. Leading out the back door you are fully surrounded in your patio by privacy fencing. There is also a small planting bed for those who want to plant their own herbs and veggies! Upstairs there are two freshly painted and sizable bedrooms that easily fit a queen and king sized bed with room to spare. The closets are over sized offering additional room for that extra bit of storage needed. At the top of the stairs you have a nicely sized linen closet. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with new floor tile and vanity. Additional storage can be found in the attic with the pull down access. The useable space runs the width of the house, so there is plenty of room up there for additional items! There is also no HOA to make worry free living.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
