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.

The Setting
8716 Bluedale Street occupies a residential street in Alexandria’s 22308 zip, a corridor known for mature lots, mid-century construction, and proximity to the Potomac. The neighborhood developed primarily in the 1960s and retains the character of that era — established, unhurried, and well-connected to the broader Northern Virginia grid.
The Floor Plan
The home spans nearly 2,900 square feet with four bedrooms and two and a half baths. Built in 1967, the layout reflects the generous proportions typical of mid-century single-family construction in this part of Fairfax County, offering room to configure the floor plan to a range of uses.
Location Context
The Huntington Metro station on the Yellow Line serves this part of Alexandria, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway provides direct access toward DC and the Maryland suburbs. Old Town Alexandria, with its concentration of dining and retail, is a short drive from Bluedale Street.
The Opportunity
Priced at $785,000, the home enters a submarket where single-family inventory at this scale is routinely limited. The combination of square footage, established location, and mid-century bones positions this property as a substantive option for buyers focused on South Alexandria.
