Duchess of Del Ray
2100 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22301
Commercially zoned Victorian four square built on a five lot parcel on prime Mount Vernon corner in the heart of Del Ray and known to all as The Duchess of Del Ray! First time on the market in 25 years, this award winning home doubles as a well known salon, with live above owners residence and wood working shop in a separate building behind the main building. The owners have architectural renderings showing plans to add an additional income producing building on the lot(s) and adding additional parking spaces to the existing 12 set in a lushly landscaped parklike setting. The corner location at Windsor and Mount Vernon Avenues attracts high visibility and the zoning allows for a variety of uses.
The main building has an established hair salon with owners living area above, complete with two bedrooms and two baths, fully equipped kitchen and back staircase entrance. The salon is accessed by the front steps as well as by a handicapped accessible elevator from the parking area in the back. The second building, to the rear of the property houses a fully equipped wood working shop with an office/bedroom and full bath above which is easily convertible into a separate dwelling or a multiple car garage with an apartment above. There is a separate driveway leading to this building off of Mount Vernon Avenue with parking for up to 6 cars parked in tandem. The two buildings enjoy a lushly imagined professionally landscaped garden oasis in the midst of the busy Del Ray business district.
