About This Home

Welcome to 2916 S Buchanan St, a two bedroom, one bathroom condo in Fairlington Villages, tucked into one of Arlington's most walkable pockets just steps from the shops and restaurants at the Village at Shirlington. Thoughtfully maintained and updated throughout, the unit sits within one of the community's charming courtyard settings, with gleaming hardwood floors running through a bright, open living area, a designated dining space, and out to a private balcony. The kitchen has been updated with soapstone countertops and a matching soapstone sink (2020), a new tile backsplash (2026), ample cabinetry, a new refrigerator (2020), and a new oven and dishwasher (2025). The home is finished with Farrow & Ball paint, while Marvin windows (2022) enhance both efficiency and style. The bathroom was fully renovated in 2025 with Fireclay tile on the walls and floor, along with a marble shower shelf, creating a clean, refreshed feel. The bedrooms are spacious and filled with natural light. Additional updates include washer and dryer (2026), water heater (2023), new plumbing and shut-off valves (2022). The unit conveys with two parking passes and an oversized storage room. Fairlington Villages offers pools, tennis courts, walking trails, and a community center, with the condo association covering water, sewer, and trash. The Village at Shirlington is a short walk away, with Harris Teeter, a seven-screen movie theatre, Signature Theatre, and a library, along with dining options like Busboys and Poets, Copperwood Tavern, and Best Buns Bread Company. The W&OD Trail runs right through Shirlington for anyone who bikes or runs, and Old Town Alexandria, Pentagon City, Route 395, and Washington, D.C. are all just minutes away. This home offers a rare combination of extensive updates and an unbeatable Fairlington location.
