About this home

Welcome home! This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath property sits just blocks from downtown Alexandria's boutique shops and favorite local restaurants — offering the perfect mix of small-town charm and everyday convenience. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the fantastic curb appeal, and it only gets better from there. Step inside to find new flooring (2026), new kitchen appliances (2025), and updated bathrooms (2025) that give this home a fresh, move-in-ready feel. Major systems have been thoughtfully maintained too, with a new roof (2024), new water softener (2024), and updated water heater (2022) — so you can buy with confidence and skip the guesswork. Out back, you'll find a professionally landscaped yard with recently added sidewalk, rock beds, and fresh driveway. This large lot is made for entertaining, with a dedicated patio and fire pit area perfect for warm summer evenings and weekend get-togethers. The oversized 30x25 detached garage adds even more flexibility for parking, storage, or your next project. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to make a move, this is a rare opportunity to own a well-cared-for home in one of Alexandria's most walkable, convenient locations!

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
