Executive Summary
Set in one of Alexandria’s most enduring residential corridors near the Potomac, 8716 Bluedale Street delivers substantial square footage, a classic mid-century footprint, and the kind of settled neighborhood character that takes decades to develop. The home spans nearly 2,900 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths, built in 1967 and positioned within easy reach of the Huntington Metro station, Old Town Alexandria, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
Substantial Mid-Century Home in South Alexandria
8716 Bluedale Street sits in the 22308 zip code of Alexandria, Virginia — a corridor defined by mature tree canopy, established lot sizes, and proximity to the Potomac River waterfront. The home was built in 1967 and reflects the architectural sensibility of that era: generous room proportions, a practical layout, and a footprint designed for everyday living at scale.
At nearly 2,900 square feet, the home offers four bedrooms and two and a half baths — a configuration that provides meaningful flexibility across the floor plan. The 1967 construction date places it among the mid-century stock that defines much of this part of Fairfax County, where homes of this vintage sit on well-established lots with mature landscaping.
The location connects residents to the broader Northern Virginia grid with relative ease. The Huntington Metro station on the Yellow Line is accessible from this part of Alexandria, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway provides a scenic route toward DC and Maryland. Old Town Alexandria’s dining, retail, and waterfront are a short drive south.
Offered at $785,000, this home represents a meaningful opportunity in a submarket where single-family inventory at this square footage is consistently limited. The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the seller in this transaction.
