Railroad Cottage offers turnkey, single-level living in one of Falls Church City’s most innovative and thoughtfully designed communities.
The striking main level includes a large kitchen, spacious owner’s suite, powder room, laundry area, and zero-threshold walk-in shower—all with no interior or exterior steps from the covered parking area to the home itself.
There is a second Bedroom and Bathroom, Walk-in Closet and large storage unit up the custom double railing carpeted stairs to allow for easy movement and aging-in-place.
Natural light fills the home through oversized energy-efficient windows, while 9-foot ceilings create an airy, spacious feel throughout. Blending luxury, accessibility, and amenities, this like-new home features two spacious walk-in closets, geothermal heating and cooling, EarthCraft Gold certification, as well as private outdoor space in a fully fenced-in yard. The home is close but not bordering the covered parking lot, which features designated parking spots, two EV chargers, and 3 guest spots. You can find additional guest parking along the rear road of the community.
The Condo association covers all exterior maintenance and landscaping, as well as snow removal, and all Common House maintenance, creating a truly low-maintenance lifestyle.
Designed as a sophisticated alternative to traditional condominium living, The Railroad Cottages provide the ease of downsizing without elevators, long hallways, or multi-level living. Unparalleled community living with a friendly and inviting condo association that hosts regular events and gatherings. The community itself was intentionally designed to encourage connection and neighborliness, centered around the beautifully designed Common House. Residents can gather casually with neighbors or reserve the space for larger events and entertaining. Community members are invited to participate but not required to participate in the common area landscaping.
Perfectly situated along the Washington & Old Dominion Trail and just one block from Broad Street, this exceptional community offers immediate access to Falls Church City’s vibrant shops, restaurants, parks, public transportation, and mixed-use developments.
Solar infrastructure supports car charging stations, common area lighting, and the power needs of the Common House. Additional energy is sold back to the grid for the benefit of the community.
The Common House amenities include a full entertainer’s kitchen, dining space for at least 20 seated guests, comfortable lounge areas, and an upper-level guest suite for overflow overnight visitors. There is wifi for all guest use, as well as attic storage and most notably- The Common House also provides backup power during outages for added peace of mind.
