5311 Remington Drive – A Historic Retreat Near Mount Vernon
Located on land once part of George Washington’s Union Farm, 5311 Remington Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a home in one of Alexandria’s most historically rich and scenic neighborhoods. Just a picturesque walk from Mount Vernon, this property blends timeless character with modern comfort.
The home is officially registered with the neighborhood Friends of Mount Vernon, a recognition that reflects its place in the story of the land once owned and worked by our first president. From the seasonal views of the Potomac River to the mature trees and plush garden lawn, this property offers a daily connection to history and nature.
A screened-in porch provides a peaceful, shaded escape—shielding you from the sun while letting you enjoy the sights and sounds of the backyard. A water feature adds to the tranquility, and a gazebo at the edge of the property offers the perfect place to unwind and take in the neighborhood atmosphere.
The home is tucked into a quiet, one-way-in, one-way-out community—a favorite among dog walkers and evening strollers alike. Residents enjoy a private park-like setting along Dogue Creek, complete with a community boat ramp, perfect for launching a kayak or simply sitting and watching the water roll by.
Just beyond the neighborhood, newly developed walking and exercise trails offer even more ways to enjoy the outdoors and stay connected to this peaceful part of Fairfax County.
5311 Remington Drive isn’t just a home—it’s a gateway to nature, community, and history, all nestled within one of Northern Virginia’s most treasured enclaves.
