Iconic Anne Welsh Salon Property, ‘The Duchess of Del Ray,’ Hits the Market

Alexandria, VA — A beloved Del Ray landmark is officially on the market. The property at 2100 Mount Vernon Avenue—home to the long-standing Anne Welsh Salon—is listed for $3,995,000 and offers one of the most versatile commercial opportunities in the neighborhood.

Known locally as “The Duchess of Del Ray,” the property spans five commercial lots and includes two buildings: the main salon space and a secondary structure currently used as a woodworking shop. Altogether, the site offers 14,289 square feet and 12 dedicated parking spaces—an uncommon asset along The Avenue.

Listing agent Kate Patterson of Corcoran McEnearney noted that the property is ideal for a live/work setup, retail expansion, or strategic redevelopment. Architectural plans for an additional retail and rental building are already included in the offering. The secondary building could also be converted into a garage with an apartment above, creating added revenue options.

This is a rare chance to own a cornerstone property in one of Alexandria’s most walkable, community-oriented corridors. Del Ray buyers don’t often see parcels this flexible or this substantial.

The space remains fully functional and visible to foot traffic, surrounded by independent shops, restaurants, and neighborhood staples.
