6507 Haystack Rd Alexandria, VA 22310

Tucked into the heart of Rose Hill Park, this inviting home is the kind of place that wins you over the moment you arrive—and keeps surprising you long after the keys are yours. With over $35,000 in recent updates and a location that puts everything within reach, it’s easy to see why this one stands out. Start with the setting: a flat, quarter-acre lot with full fencing for peace of mind and French drains already installed to keep things tidy year-round. Plus, the home comes with a large detached storage shed with full electrical. Whether you're a hobbyist, gardener, or just love the idea of a powered workspace, it's the kind of extra you never knew you needed—until now. The curb appeal hits just right—fresh landscaping, new exterior paint, and a just-laid stone path that leads you to a classic front porch, perfect for coffee mornings or wind-down evenings. Step inside, and you're greeted by luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows throughout the home—beautiful, yes, but also incredibly easy to live with. The kitchen is a standout with brand new quartz countertops (2024), modern lighting, and a layout that opens to both casual dining and cozy gathering spaces. Everything’s move-in ready, with fresh interior paint and upgraded fixtures that create a warm, polished look. But what really sets this place apart is the three-season deck—screened in, spacious, and ready for whatever you love to do at home. Downstairs, the walk-out basement offers a generous rec room with endless potential. Location-wise, it's hard to beat. Just a 10-minute drive connects you to I-495, I-395, and Franconia Metro Station -- ideal for anyone needing fast access to the city or beyond. And when it’s time to stay local? You’ve got Kingstowne’s shops and restaurants just around the corner, with outdoor escapes like Huntley Meadows Park, Greendale Golf Course, and Franconia Rec Center nearby. Even the bones are solid: the HVAC system was replaced in 2021, and every major surface, from siding to deck, got a refresh in 2024. Bonus: This home sits within a mile of K-12 schools —Rose Hill Elementary, Twain Middle (8/10 on Great Schools), and Edison High—making day-to-day logistics refreshingly simple. If you’ve been looking for a place that feels like home from day one and keeps getting better, this might be the start of your own long love affair.
