Listing details for 6507 Haystack Rd, Alexandria, VA 22310 : CATERED OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, SEPT 7 FROM 2-4PM! Tucked into the heart of Rose Hill Park, this inviting home is the kind of place that wins you over the moment you arrive. From the updated finishes to the flexible layout and the kind of thoughtful extras you never realized you needed. With nearly $170,000 in renovations, this isn’t just another listing. Let’s start outside: the curb appeal hits just right. Fresh landscaping, a full sprinkler system, and a stone walkway (2024) guide you to the charming front porch (2023). The quarter-acre, fully fenced lot offers a rare sense of space and privacy, with French drains (2019) to keep everything neat and dry no matter the season. Out back, you’ll find not one but two decks, including a spacious three-season screened retreat added in 2019 that extends your living space in all the best ways. There’s also a large detached shed, wired with full electrical—ready for workshop dreams, backyard projects, or simply storage. Step inside and the upgrades continue. Every room has been given a fresh feel with updated fixtures and all-new interior paint. The kitchen was updated in 2024/2025 with quartz countertops, modern lighting, and a full suite of new appliances: fridge, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. It’s open to casual dining and cozy gathering areas, so the cook never misses a moment. Both bathrooms were fully renovated in 2020 with clean, timeless finishes, and there’s bonus space galore—including a generous recreation room in the walk-out basement that can morph into whatever you need: movie lounge, game zone, home gym, or remote-work haven. And it doesn’t stop there. This home’s bones have been just as lovingly maintained. The HVAC system (with high-end laser air purifier) was replaced in 2021 and the hot water heater was replaced in 2023. Upper-level hardwoods were sanded and re-stained in 2015, and both the main and lower levels feature tile flooring added in 2018. The washer and dryer are new as of 2024, the four-car concrete driveway was poured the same year. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. You’re just 10 minutes from I-495, I-395, and the Franconia Metro Station—perfect for quick commutes into the city or weekend getaways. Local favorites like Kingstowne’s shopping and dining scene, Huntley Meadows Park, Greendale Golf Course, and Franconia Rec Center are also close by. And here’s one more daily win: this home sits within two miles of K-12 schools - including MarkTwain Middle (rated 8/10 on Great Schools). This isn’t a home that tries to check boxes. It quietly exceeds them—through care, character, and a kind of comfort that’s hard to put into words. If you’ve been waiting for that one place that feels like home from the start and keeps getting better? You may have just found it.
