Del Ray Character Home with Private Parking

The home at 16 E Monroe Avenue occupies a tree-lined residential block in Del Ray, one of Alexandria’s most walkable and well-regarded close-in neighborhoods. Built in 1940, the semi-detached structure carries the architectural character of its era while sitting within easy reach of contemporary amenities along Mount Vernon Avenue.

Three bedrooms and two full baths are distributed across 1,377 square feet, a footprint that balances livability with the efficient scale that defines Del Ray’s housing stock. Private parking — a genuine asset in this neighborhood — is included with the home.

The King Street Metro station provides direct access to the broader DC metro rail network, and Reagan National Airport is a short drive from the neighborhood. Del Ray’s independent restaurant and retail scene along ‘The Avenue’ is walkable from the front door.

Priced at 930,000 dollars, the home represents a direct entry into one of Northern Virginia’s most consistently sought-after residential pockets, where 1940s-era semi-detached homes with private parking are increasingly rare at any price point.

Del Ray Setting
The home sits on East Monroe Avenue in Del Ray, a neighborhood defined by its walkable grid, mature tree canopy, and concentration of independent businesses along Mount Vernon Avenue. The 1940 construction date places it among the original housing stock that gives Del Ray its architectural cohesion and neighborhood identity.
Home Layout
Three bedrooms and two full baths are contained within 1,377 square feet. The semi-detached configuration provides a degree of separation from neighboring structures while maintaining the connected streetscape character that distinguishes Del Ray from more suburban alternatives in the Northern Virginia market.
Transit Access
The King Street Metro station connects residents to the Yellow and Blue lines, offering direct service into DC and to Reagan National Airport. Del Ray’s position between Old Town Alexandria and the Arlington border gives it convenient access to multiple employment corridors without requiring a car for daily errands.
Market Position
At 930,000 dollars, this home enters the market as a semi-detached 1940s property with private parking in a neighborhood where comparable inventory is limited. Buyers seeking Del Ray real estate at this scale will find few alternatives that combine original character, a walkable location, and off-street parking in a single offering.
