Be home for the holidays! Seller will pay the condo fees through the end of the year! Welcome to easy Ballston living in this spacious, move-in-ready 1BR/1BA condo. Nearly $17,000 in recent updates bring a fresh feel throughout, including new flooring (2026), all-new kitchen appliances (2026), and a beautiful marble-look stone countertop (2026). The generous living/dining area is filled with natural light, with double sliding glass doors opening to a large private balcony overlooking the pool—an inviting spot for morning coffee or tea, a quiet read, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Commercial-grade replacement windows and patio doors (2019) add another level of comfort, efficiency, and durability. Everyday conveniences are just steps away - Harris Teeter is across the street, with Ballston Quarter, restaurants, shops, and neighborhood amenities nearby. The Ballston-MU Metro on the Orange and Silver Lines is within walking distance, while nearby I-66 provides easy access to Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia. All utilities are included in the condo fee, making monthly expenses simpler and more predictable. Complimentary on-site laundry is another bonus—no washer or dryer to maintain, with two laundry rooms just a few steps from the unit. The underground garage offers ample parking, with the unusual flexibility of renting up to three spaces per unit at reasonable rates. With its significant updates and an asking price below the 2026 assessment, this home offers an appealing combination of move-in-ready comfort, everyday convenience, and smart value.
