This truly a one of kind property set on a half-acre lot in the Fort Hunt area of Alexandria, this bungalow offers a unique opportunity to own a property with deep historical roots in Alexandria and thoughtful modern updates. The land was originally part of George Washington’s River Farm, acquired by Washington in 1760 as part of his Mount Vernon holdings. It remained in the Washington family until 1869, and in 1859 it was sold to the Snowden family, who operated a dairy farm on the property through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The current home was built in 1928 by a local farmer who owned a portion of the original estate. In the 1960s, part of the remaining farmland was taken by eminent domain and converted into Collingwood Park, a neighborhood green space that now borders the rear of the property, offering a peaceful, tree-lined backdrop. The house itself underwent a major renovation in 2010, including the main level and basement, New bedroom addition and staircase to basement, Full kitchen remodel with updated appliances, Updated electrical panel and service, New roof with 30-year shingles, New washer/dryer and laundry pump, Basement waterproofed with French drain, wall drain-board, and sump pump. Additional system upgrades and improvements include: ● 2019 – High-efficiency oil boiler replacement ● 2020 – Sewer line repiped in the crawl space and out to the street ● 2021 – New central A/C system installed and full second-floor renovation The home has approximately 1,735 sq ft of living space, with original hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and preserved architectural elements from the 1920s. This home offers easy access to Old Town Alexandria (about 15 minutes), National Airport, and Washington, D.C. The Fort Hunt area is primarily residential, with mature trees, neighborhood parks, and a strong sense of community. Collingwood Park, directly behind the home, features open green space, trails, and recreational facilities. The property is also close to the Mount Vernon Trail, the Potomac River, and historic landmarks such as Mount Vernon Estate and Fort Hunt Park. This property combines historic significance, functional updates, and a quiet neighborhood setting—all within reach of urban amenities.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
