Executive Summary
Set along the storied Mount Vernon Highway in Alexandria, this four-bedroom home offers 2,258 square feet of living space on a well-established Fairfax County street. Built in 1960, the home reflects the enduring character of the Woodlawn neighborhood, where mid-century construction and generous lot sizes define the residential fabric. Two garage spaces, a practical 2.5-bath configuration, and a $770,000 price point position this home competitively within the broader Mount Vernon submarket.
A Mid-Century Home on the Mount Vernon Corridor
The home at 8509 Mount Vernon Highway occupies one of Fairfax County’s most historically layered corridors, just south of the Beltway and within close reach of the Potomac waterfront communities. Built in 1960, the residence carries the structural integrity and spatial generosity that define mid-century construction in this part of Northern Virginia.
Four bedrooms and 2,258 square feet of interior space provide a functional footprint for a range of living arrangements. The 2.5-bath layout distributes well across the home’s floor plan, and two garage spaces offer covered parking that is increasingly rare at this price point in the Alexandria market.
The Mount Vernon Highway address places this home in the Woodlawn area, a neighborhood shaped by its proximity to the George Washington estate, the Woodlawn Plantation, and the broader parkland that lines the Potomac. Local amenities, commuter routes, and the character of the surrounding streets all reflect the area’s long-established residential identity.
At $770,000, this home represents a considered entry into a submarket where inventory remains limited and the combination of lot size, square footage, and location commands sustained buyer interest.

Property Location
About 8509 Mount Vernon Hwy
The home at 8509 Mount Vernon Highway was built in 1960 and offers 2,258 square feet of living space across a four-bedroom, 2.5-bath floor plan. The two-car garage provides covered parking that is a meaningful amenity in this part of Fairfax County. The home’s mid-century construction is characteristic of the Woodlawn corridor, where original residential stock from this era remains well-represented and consistently sought by buyers who value established neighborhoods over new development.
The Woodlawn area of Alexandria occupies a historically significant stretch of Fairfax County, anchored by the Mount Vernon Highway and shaped by its proximity to the George Washington estate and the Woodlawn Plantation. The surrounding streets reflect decades of stable residential development, with mature tree canopy and lot sizes that distinguish the area from denser Northern Virginia submarkets. Everyday conveniences, including grocery options and local services, are accessible along the Richmond Highway corridor.
The Mount Vernon corridor offers a distinct pace relative to the denser inner suburbs of Alexandria and Arlington. Proximity to the Potomac waterfront, Fort Hunt Park, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway places outdoor recreation within easy reach. Commuter access to the broader Northern Virginia network and into Washington, DC, is available via the Beltway and Richmond Highway, with the Huntington Metro station providing rail access to the region.
