This third-floor condominium, 1328 sq ft, with two bedrooms, two full baths and an open floor plan with a living-dining room combination and an island kitchen in the Ballston corridor of Arlington, Virginia is urban living at its best! Set in The Continental at Ballston, the condo unit offers huge picture windows overlooking the condo building courtyard and that of the adjacent Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel, whose grounds offer a park-like setting with benches and beautiful landscaping for serene views from the condo unit. Arlington has a lot to offer, and the Continental condominiums are just one block to the Metro and within walking distance to restaurants, coffee bars, movies and a shopping mall. An elegant marble-and-granite lobby greets residents and visitors to the 20-floor condo building. Behind the entry door of Unit 320, an open floor plan awaits, featuring flowing spaces with generous windows for a bright & airy feel. A gas fireplace with a large nook (perfect for a large-screen TV!) anchors the main living area that consists of living and dining rooms. A triple picture window brings in lots of natural light and overlooks a green, urban landscape -- a WOW factor! Wood-like wide planks line the living areas that include a gourmet island kitchen, equipped with maple cabinetry with brushed-nickel hardware, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances including GE refrigerator, dishwasher and a four-burner gas stove. Track lighting completes the open living space, which also includes a utility/storage closet. Two bedroom suites complete with private baths sit on each side of the main living space. Both bedrooms are generously-sized and feature Berber carpet and huge picture windows for peaceful views of the trees and park-like setting below. The master suite offers two walk-in closets, including one with built-in organizers. It connects to a bathroom with ceramic tiles, a cultured marble vanity, a tub/shower combination and a stacked-washer/dryer tucked neatly in one of the closets. A linen closet with ventilated shelving completes the master bath. The second bedroom suite also has a walk-in closet and a connecting full bath with a cultured marble vanity, a tub/shower combination and a linen closet with ventilated shelving. Other than the walkability and convenience factors of the close vicinity to Metro and entertainment, The Continental at Ballston also offers top-notch amenities including 24/7 Concierge, meeting rooms, a library with computers, a 10-person movie theater, party room, rooftop pool and fitness center, and in-building dry cleaners.
