About This Home

As of September 2025

This longtime owner home is a rare find: solid construction, mature landscaping, two fireplaces with gas logs, original hardwood floors under the carpet upstairs, and a bright sunroom with knotty pine walls opening to the back deck and yard. Inside, the home is dated and in need of a full cosmetic overhaul — but the essentials are strong, including a Lennox HVAC system, gas heat, an excellent gas water heater, a sound roof, and a recently replaced sewer line. Sold strictly as-is, this property offers a blank canvas for renovation, investment, or a personal dream project. Whether you envision restoring the charming mid-century details or starting fresh, the potential here is undeniable. Homes in Riverside Gardens don't come along often—especially ones offering this much upside. Plus, you'll love the unbeatable location — just minutes from the George Washington Parkway and miles of scenic trails, Fort Hunt Park, and everything Old Town Alexandria has to offer. With quick access to National Airport, the Beltway, and Huntington Metro, commuting is a breeze. Bring your creativity and tools and transform this diamond in the rough.
