105 E Monroe Ave, Alexandria VA 22301

A Century of Character in the Heart of Del Ray

The home at 105 E Monroe Ave was built in 1920, placing it among Alexandria’s earliest residential stock in the Del Ray neighborhood. Over a century of presence on East Monroe Avenue, the property has accumulated the kind of structural and contextual depth that newer construction cannot replicate. At 2,184 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths, it offers meaningful space without excess.

Del Ray is one of Northern Virginia’s most walkable urban neighborhoods, anchored by Mount Vernon Avenue’s corridor of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants. East Monroe Avenue sits within easy reach of that activity while maintaining the residential calm of a tree-lined side street. The combination of neighborhood scale and urban access is a defining characteristic of the 22301 zip code.

Parking is a practical advantage here: a garage space, a concrete driveway, and surface parking collectively address one of the most common friction points in Alexandria real estate. For a home of this vintage and location, that parking inventory is notable. The overall package — historic bones, generous square footage, walkable setting, and multi-vehicle parking — positions 105 E Monroe Ave as a substantive offering at $879,000.

Historic Scale
The home dates to 1920, giving it over a century of architectural presence in Alexandria. Four bedrooms and three full baths across 2,184 square feet provide a layout that accommodates a range of living arrangements. Historic homes in this zip code at this scale are a finite and sought-after segment of the Northern Virginia market.
Del Ray Context
Del Ray’s identity is shaped by Mount Vernon Avenue, a walkable main street lined with independent businesses, neighborhood dining, and community anchors. East Monroe Avenue feeds directly into that corridor, placing this home within the neighborhood’s most active and accessible zone. The 22301 zip code consistently draws buyers who prioritize walkability alongside residential character.
Practical Advantages
Parking in Alexandria’s older neighborhoods is frequently limited, making this home’s garage, driveway, and surface parking a meaningful differentiator. Buyers accustomed to searching for street parking will recognize the value immediately. The configuration supports multiple vehicles without relying on permit zones or shared lots.
The Opportunity
At $879,000, this home enters the market as a well-positioned single-family offering in one of Northern Virginia’s most established walkable neighborhoods. The combination of historic provenance, functional square footage, and parking depth is uncommon at this price point in Del Ray. The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the seller in this transaction.

Property Location

About 105 E Monroe Ave

The home at 105 E Monroe Ave was constructed in 1920 and has stood in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood for over a century. The single-family residence spans 2,184 square feet and is configured with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The floor plan provides room to spread across multiple levels, a characteristic of homes built in this era when generous room proportions were standard. The overall structure reflects the craftsmanship and scale typical of early twentieth-century Alexandria residential construction.

Del Ray occupies the northern section of Alexandria’s 22301 zip code and is defined by its walkable, village-scale character. Mount Vernon Avenue serves as the neighborhood’s commercial spine, hosting independent restaurants, coffee shops, specialty retailers, and community gathering spaces. East Monroe Avenue is a residential side street that connects directly to that activity without sitting on it, offering a balance of access and calm. The neighborhood’s tree canopy, block-by-block consistency, and proximity to both Old Town Alexandria and the District make it one of Northern Virginia’s most enduring residential destinations.

Daily life in Del Ray is oriented around the neighborhood itself. Groceries, coffee, dining, and weekend errands are all within walking distance of East Monroe Avenue, reducing car dependency for routine tasks. The King Street and Braddock Road Metro stations on the Blue and Yellow lines place downtown DC and Reagan National Airport within a straightforward commute. For those who drive, the concrete driveway and garage space eliminate the parking friction that affects many of Alexandria’s older residential blocks. The result is a home that supports both a walkable daily rhythm and easy regional mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The 22301 zip code consistently attracts buyers who want urban walkability within a neighborhood that feels grounded and residential.
The home was built in 1920, making it over a century old. Buyers of historic homes in this era should expect the character advantages of original construction — room scale, architectural detail, and neighborhood context — alongside the practical considerations of older systems and materials. A thorough inspection is standard and advisable for any home of this vintage.
The King Street and Braddock Road Metro stations, both on the Blue and Yellow lines, are the nearest rail options for this address. Both stations provide direct service to downtown DC and Reagan National Airport without requiring a transfer. The Blue and Yellow lines are among the most useful in the system for Northern Virginia-to-DC commuters.

Buyers with multiple vehicles will find the arrangement practical.
Del Ray’s housing stock includes a wide range of sizes, from smaller bungalows to more expansive homes that have been added onto over the decades.
