Listing details
Welcome to this charming and surprisingly spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in Bucknell Manor, where you can enjoy the space of a true neighborhood setting without giving up the convenience of Alexandria living. One of the more spacious homes of its model, this light-filled property offers a flexible layout with generous room to live, work, host, and grow. Inside, thoughtful storage is found throughout, including sizeable storage in both upstairs bedrooms, additional built-ins in the dining room, a walk-in pantry in the kitchen and an entire half of the basement dedicated to storage (could also be renovated for more living space!). The updated bathroom was fully refreshed in 2025 with a new shower, toilet, sink, and mirror. Outside, the large fully fenced backyard is made for entertaining, gardening, and play, with a garden planter and expanded patio space added in 2024. From summer BBQs and bounce houses to gatherings of 75+ guests inside and out, this is a home that was made to be enjoyed. But the location may be the best part. You’re just minutes from Old Town Alexandria while enjoying the space and breathing room that can be hard to find closer to the city. Walk approximately five minutes to the Mount Vernon Rec Center for swimming, ice skating, fitness, a rock wall, classes, camps, and more, or easily walk to Safeway and the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of Belle View Shopping Center. The nearby waterfront and trails offer even more ways to get outside. With Old Town roughly 10 minutes away and an abundance of recreation, shopping, and outdoor amenities right nearby, this Bucknell Manor cottage offers an ideal combination: more space, a fantastic backyard, and incredible everyday convenience—all in a location that makes it easy to enjoy Alexandria in every season.
