Exceptional condition, thoughtfully improved, and a rare assumable VA loan — this beautifully maintained Cape Cod in Bucknell Manor offers a combination that is genuinely hard to find in today's market. Qualified buyers may be able to assume the seller's VA loan at a well-below-market interest rate, subject to VA and lender approval. From the moment you step inside, the care this home has received is evident. Gleaming hardwood floors and recessed lighting run throughout the main level, creating a bright, polished, and welcoming atmosphere. A private home office tucked behind French doors provides a quiet, professional space for working from home — a genuine separate room, not a converted corner. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a practical layout that opens directly to the family room, keeping the main level connected and easy to live in.
Outside, a large, fully fenced rear yard offers flexible use for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing at home. A screened-in porch extends the living space through three seasons, and a dedicated storage room, detached carport, deliver the kind of practical storage most homes in this price range simply don't have.
The improvement list is substantial and documented. Recent updates include a complete upper-level bathroom renovation in 2020, an updated main-level bathroom vanity and flooring in 2021, a new fence in 2021, a detached carport added in 2020, and exterior painting completed in 2021. Additional improvements include a Nest thermostat, an upgraded patio door, a storm door, ceiling fans, built-in bathroom night lighting.
Located in the established Bucknell Manor neighborhood of Fairfax County, with an Alexandria mailing address, the home sits minutes from Belle View Shopping Center, Old Town Alexandria, Huntington Metro, Reagan National Airport, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, and I-495 — one of the strongest commuter positions inside the Beltway. Everyday shopping, dining, parks, and the Potomac waterfront are all close at hand.
The result is a home that delivers on condition, storage, flexible space, and location, with a financing opportunity attached that could meaningfully change a qualified buyer's monthly picture. Homes like this in Bucknell Manor do not come to market often. Financing terms subject to VA and lender approval; every situation is different, and buyers should consult a qualified lender regarding assumption eligibility.
