About This Home

Welcome to this beautifully updated top-floor condominium with a detached one garage and storage unit! Located in the historic Rosemont community, where timeless charm meets modern convenience. This light-filled one-bedroom residence features hardwood floors throughout, elegant crown moldings in the living/dining area, and an inviting floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living. The kitchen opens to a private, newly renovated balcony, complete with an additional storm door and rear stairs providing direct access to the beautifully maintained grounds. The expansive eat-in kitchen has been thoughtfully and comprehensively updated from 2023 through 2026 with an impressive collection of new appliances and finishes, including a GE Profile smart gas range and microwave, Bosch dishwasher, new refrigerator, updated sink faucet, new water heater, and a Samsung smart washer and dryer conveniently tucked away in a separate laundry space. Fresh paint completes this bright and functional space, making it equally suited for everyday meals or entertaining. The generously sized bedroom offers peaceful treetop views, new blackout cellular blinds, and ample closet space with custom built-in shelving and hanging space, while the updated bathroom features a new vanity, medicine cabinet, and hardware. Additional improvements include a new Amana high-efficiency HVAC system installed in 2026, new cellular blinds in the living room, and freshly painted walls and ceilings throughout the living and dining areas. Rarely available in this building, the home includes both a private garage and a separate storage unit, providing exceptional convenience and valuable extra space. The building's balconies were fully renovated in 2023, and the classic brick facade is currently being professionally restored and repointed, further enhancing the community's enduring appeal. Perfectly situated in the highly desirable Rosemont neighborhood, this exceptional home is just a short stroll to Grape & Bean Wine Bar, Old Town Alexandria, Del Ray, two Metro stations, and the Alexandria Amtrak and VRE station. Commuters will appreciate easy access to I-495, I-395, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, National Landing, Amazon HQ2, and the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus. Combining extensive recent updates, historic character, an unbeatable location, and the rare luxury of garage parking and extra storage, this move-in ready home offers an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the very best of Alexandria living.
