Property Description
You're in for a pleasant surprise…
Tucked into a quiet pocket of Alexandria's Beacon Manor neighborhood, this brick-front duplex is about to defy your expectations. You may think you've seen homes like it—but this one delivers more than meets the eye. With nearly 1,200 finished square feet spread across three levels, a leafy backyard sanctuary, and everyday convenience that's hard to beat, it's the kind of home that quietly checks every box.
From the moment you arrive, the home's classic Colonial charm sets a warm tone. The front walkway leads you past tidy landscaping to a cheerful red door—your personal welcome mat to a bright and inviting interior. The living room feels instantly cozy with abundant natural light and durable hardwood floors, which continue into the upper level. The layout is traditional yet flowing, making the most of every inch.
The kitchen keeps things practical with plenty of cabinet storage, a dining area, and a windowed nook that looks out to the backyard. Whether you're scrambling eggs or sipping coffee with the morning sun pouring in.
Head upstairs and you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with multiple exposures that bring in light throughout the day. A full bath completes this level, with a second completely updated full bath conveniently located in the finished basement. Speaking of the lower level—it's more than just bonus space. With fresh flooring you can make this a home office or a creative studio. There's even a door to the rear yard, adding function to the flow.
And here's where the surprise really kicks in: the backyard. Step onto your deck, pour a drink, and soak in the serenity of a wide, flat lawn—complete with a handy storage shed. There's room to garden, grill, or simply sprawl in a hammock. It's rare to find outdoor space like this so close to the city, and it makes every season better.
What makes this home stand out even more is its proximity to some of Alexandria's most underrated amenities. Just a couple miles away, the completely renovated Mount Vernon Rec Center is now a local showstopper with indoor ice rinks, a climbing wall, gym, fitness classes, indoor track, and pool—all open and ready for your next adventure. If you're into fresh air, you'll love being near parks, trails, and the Mount Vernon Bike Trail.
Daily errands? Easy. Belle View Shopping Center is about a mile away, packed with everything from coffee to groceries to your go-to dry cleaner. Need a change of scenery? Old Town Alexandria is just a 10-minute drive, where waterfront strolls, historic streets, and destination dining await. Commuting is a cinch, too—you're near Route 1, I-495, the GW Parkway, bus routes, and the Huntington Metro (less than three miles away).
Beacon Manor itself is one of those neighborhoods that quietly earns a following. It's unpretentious, well-kept, and full of charm. There's a real sense of community here—and plenty of green space to enjoy it.
With no HOA, solid mid-century construction, and a lifestyle that blends simplicity with access, this home punches far above its weight. Whether you're starting fresh, scaling back, or just looking for something that feels right, you'll walk in and know: this is the one.
