Property Description

Welcome to 23 Mount Vernon Avenue – Where Rosemont charm meets city convenience and a dash of ice cream-fueled adventure!

If you’ve been dreaming of life in a walkable, bikeable, run-at-night-able neighborhood just minutes to the Metro, this is your spot. Located in the heart of Rosemont—one of Alexandria City’s most beloved enclaves—this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath charmer is all about ease, community, and comfort.

Inside, the home features thoughtful updates that seamlessly blend modern convenience with timeless style. The main level features fresh flooring and cabinetry (2020–2021), a new banister (2020–2021), and a sleek half bath, which was updated in 2019–2020. The mini-split system (2019/2020) keeps things cool and efficient, while the updated ProVia windows and doors (2019/2020) fill the space with natural light.

Upstairs, you’ll find two cozy bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for curling up after a long day or hosting visiting friends who won’t want to leave (especially once you introduce them to your signature King Street Ice Cream Tour). Bosch washer and dryer, tankless Navien water heater, updated electrical panel (2021), and a Mitsubishi mini-split system round out a long list of practical upgrades.

Outside, enjoy a yard that hits the sweet spot—not too big, not too small. There’s enough space to host friends, let pets play, or simply relax with a book among the flowering trees and window boxes you’ve lovingly tended. A small shed provides just enough storage, and city trash and recycling pickup (Thursdays!) makes the basics easy.

And then there’s the location—truly the star of the show. With the King Street Metro just minutes away, you can be in downtown DC in under 25 minutes and at National Airport in less than 15 minutes. Prefer two wheels or your own two feet? You’re steps from well-lit running and biking trails that wind through the city and along the Potomac. Groceries, CVS, restaurants, coffee shops, and even a pet store are all walkable, so you might just forget where you left your car keys.

A quick note on flood insurance: This home is part of the National Flood Insurance Program. The current annual premium is approximately $1,436, with a $2,000 deductible for both building and contents coverage. It’s one more detail to keep in mind as you fall in love with everything this home and neighborhood have to offer. The City of Alexandria is working on this issue.

This is more than just a wise investment—it’s a lifestyle upgrade, nestled in a neighborhood full of friendly faces and gorgeous tree-lined streets. Come see it for yourself, and get ready to fall in love with city living that still feels like home.
