About This Home

As of August 2019

This luxury 2 bedroom 2 full bathroom unit has been freshly painted, fully upgraded, and is ready for easy showings! Recent upgrades and improvements in 2019 include all LED lighting throughout entire unit, new washer and dryer installed inside the unit, new Nest thermostat, quiet output exhaust fans installed in both bathrooms, and new blackout shades installed in the master bedroom. Prime building location facilitates easy access to Route 50, Washington DC, Route 7, and to the new planned Amazon HQ2 site. Excellent proximity to both Ballston & Virginia Square Metro stops, just 2 blocks to shopping, restaurants, and popular night life. This top floor unit is private & quiet with no walls abutting other units. Warm and inviting with lots of natural light from windows on 3 sides, a few of the options that make this feel like home are: maple floors throughout, ceramic tile in bathrooms and kitchen, granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances and state of the art FIOS Gigabit 100% fiber optic network installed within the unit. Brazilian IPE wood flooring on large balcony overlooking established trees. Unit conveys with 1 deeded parking space next to the building and more parking is available on the street or through another lot next door. All of this and the unit has a super low condo fee! Well managed association and building is both VA & FHA approved!
