About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to 39 E Reed Ave — a charming and updated home just minutes from Del Ray, Arlandria, and the new Virginia Tech Innovation Campus. This property blends thoughtful updates with natural charm, offering excellent indoor and outdoor living.
Inside, you’ll find a bright and functional layout featuring a skylit bathroom, custom-installed blinds and shades, and a versatile second bedroom complete with a Murphy bed — perfect for guests or a home office. The spacious primary bathroom is a standout, offering a walk-in shower with a built-in seat and a double vanity for extra comfort and convenience. The kitchen opens to a cozy bar area with three barstools that convey, making it ideal for casual dining or entertaining.
Recent upgrades include a 5-year-old HVAC system, 2021 water heater, new roof, crawl space improvements, and storm doors installed in both the front and back for added efficiency and security.
Outside, enjoy a screened-in porch, private parking for two cars, and a yard with fig, pear, and apple trees — a rare urban garden retreat. Though you're just minutes from Metro access, shops, and dining, the screened-in porch and private backyard offer a peaceful escape from city life — perfect for quiet mornings or winding down in the evening. An added bonus: there's no HOA, so you’ll avoid additional monthly fees and restrictions.
This property also offers strong potential for short-term rental income through platforms like AirBnB or Vrbo. Several nearby homes have already been successfully used as short-term rentals, making this an attractive option for investors or homeowners interested in supplemental income. The home’s flexible layout, private outdoor space, and convenient location near key attractions and transit make it especially appealing to visitors seeking a more local, comfortable stay in the area (buyers to verify local regulations).
