Property Description
Inside, hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room is a standout with its high ceilings and wonderful natural light, while the beautifully renovated kitchen, completed in 2024, features new cabinetry, countertops, and sink. Just beyond the main living spaces, the sunroom and newer screened porch provide inviting places to enjoy morning coffee, unwind, or entertain while overlooking the backyard.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and two updated full baths, including one with a newly renovated shower and jetted tub and another with a newly renovated shower. A convenient half bath is located on the main level. The walk-out lower level adds valuable flexibility with a fourth bedroom, renovated full bath, and separate entrance—ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, or additional living space.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy a newer screened porch, Trex deck, updated front porch with Trex flooring, and a fully fenced, pet-friendly yard surrounded by beautiful seasonal blooms, including peonies, crepe myrtle, iris, redbud, and more. The property also features a wonderfully productive cherry tree beside the driveway, yielding an abundance of cherries each June—perfect for homemade pies and jam. A young peach tree in the backyard is beginning to mature, adding another special touch to this garden-filled setting. Situated across three lots, the property offers a notably generous backyard for Del Ray—perfect for gatherings, gardening, play, and relaxing outdoors. A garage provides convenient garden and outdoor storage.
Additional improvements include a new roof in 2021 and a tankless water heater installed in 2025, complementing the home's thoughtful updates while preserving its warmth and character.
One of the home's greatest advantages is its location. Enjoy the walkable and bike-friendly lifestyle that makes Del Ray so beloved, with neighborhood restaurants, shops, parks, schools, recreation, and everyday conveniences nearby. Braddock Road and Potomac Yard Metro stations are approximately a mile away, while convenient access to the GW Parkway and I-395 makes trips to Old Town Alexandria and Washington, DC easy. Nearby recreational opportunities include the YMCA, baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts, running trails, and local arts destinations offering classes for children, teens, and adults.
Classy, cozy, and warm, 414 E Howell Avenue offers the space to gather, room to grow, and the unmistakable neighborhood charm that makes Del Ray such a special place to call home.
