About this home
Welcome to 511 East Nelson Avenue, a charming 1939 brick row home perfectly positioned in the vibrant heart of Del Ray. Located just one block east of Mount Vernon Avenue, you are less than a mile from the Braddock Road Metro Station and only minutes from the historic streets of Old Town Alexandria and the amenities of Potomac Yard.
Step inside to find over 1,100 square feet of finished living space across three levels. The main floor features an inviting open-concept layout that is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The modern kitchen serves as the heart of the home, leading directly to a serene, screened-in porch, the perfect respite for your morning coffee. The outdoor experience continues onto a spacious ground-level deck, leading into a fully fenced-in rear garden. This private oasis, shaded by a beautiful mature tree, is ready for your green thumb, weekend gatherings, or for your pets to roam safely. The upper level includes two sun-drenched bedrooms and a modernized hall bath, while the lower level, fully updated in the mid-2010s, features a finished recreation room, a second full bath, laundry, and ample storage.
Beyond the front door, the best of Del Ray is at your fingertips. Enjoy brunch at Matt & Tony’s, a pastry from Junction Coffee, or a visit to the weekly Farmers Market. With local favorites like The Evening Star and Cheesetique moments away, this home offers the quintessential lifestyle in the neighborhood you’ve been looking for.
