About This Home

As of March 2025

With close proximity to Potomac Yard, Amazon HQ2, National Airport, Virginia Tech NoVA campus and the charming Del Ray neighborhood, The Preston is at the heart of the action. Unit 208 is a large two bedroom, two full bath home with in-unit laundry, outdoor space and two-car garage parking.

The open plan living / dining area has hardwood floors and opens through a double glass door to a balcony large enough for a cafe table or a comfortable chair. The efficient kitchen surrounds an island with room to seat four, and features stone counters, stainless steel appliances and a ceramic tile floor.

The large primary bedroom has plenty of room for a king sized bed as well as seating or a home office nook. A big walk-in closet faces a corner with room for large storage furniture, and leads to an ensuite bath with a tub shower and a bonus linen closet. The second bedroom is also large enough for a king sized bed and has a deep closet and big windows. It shares a second full bath with a step in shower and tile floor.

The Preston Condominium is a 53 unit development with a fitness center, community room, mail room, lobby lounge, roof terrace and courtyard. The garage, four floors and roof are served by two elevators and has an on-site management office. Unit 208 has two assigned garage parking spaces and a supplemental storage locker.
