About This Home

As of May 2023

Welcome to your new home on top of Arlington Ridge, steps from Pentagon City! This stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo has breathtaking views from the 6th floor, distant views of the Washington Monument, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light.

As you step inside, you'll immediately appreciate the spacious and well-maintained interior. The open floor plan provides a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, perfect for entertaining guests or relaxation.

The kitchen features modern appliances and ample storage space, making meal prep or dinner parties a breeze. The bedrooms are both generously sized, with plush carpeting and plenty of closet space. Both bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom for added convenience.

But the real showstopper is the incredible view from your private balcony. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or watching the sunset over the city, you'll be able to take in the stunning sights of Arlington and D.C. from the comfort of your own home.

Situated in a prime location, this condo is just steps away from top-rated restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options. The building itself also boasts a host of amenities, including a fitness center, pool, and secure garage parking.

For the history buffs: This building was built in 1974 and was originally East German Embassy housing. It was specifically built on the ridge overlooking the Pentagon and had a direct line of sight to the old Soviet Embassy. Theories suggest it was built there to help intercept US Communications during the Cold War.

Recent major upgrades include: HVAC/Furnace 2019, 80 Gallon Water Heater 2020, Refrigerator 2021.
