About This Home
Experience the perfect blend of urban convenience and single-level living in this immaculate 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo located in the highly desirable Ballston neighborhood. This first-floor unit is a rare find for accessibility, offering zero stairs from the building entrance directly into your home. The open-concept design is both welcoming and functional, bathed in natural light. The central kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, maple cabinetry, and a suite of stainless steel appliances, including a recently upgraded stove and microwave. The expansive living and dining area provides flexible space for entertaining and relaxing, and smoothly transitions to a private, quaint balcony. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring two spacious closets and an attached en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom is generously sized and adjacent to the full hall bathroom. A dedicated laundry area with a full-size in-unit washer and dryer maximizes everyday convenience. This unit is truly turnkey, featuring fresh paint throughout. Major systems have been recently replaced for peace of mind: a New HVAC system (2024) and a New Hot Water Heater (2022). Parking is secured with an assigned parking space (#15). The Gatehouse Condominium is pet-friendly (max 2 pets) and units here seldom become available. The monthly condo fee covers water, sewer, and trash. You cannot beat this location, just 0.6 miles to the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment at Ballston Quarter, and approximately 1 mile from the Ballston-MU Metro Station (Orange/Silver Lines). This is an incredible opportunity for accessible, updated, and convenient living in the heart of Arlington!
