Spanning over 2,000 square feet, this renovated residence features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, an enclosed sunroom, two garage parking spaces, and a storage unit.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully reconfigured to better suit modern living. By opening the wall between the kitchen and dining room, the kitchen now feels brighter and more connected. A large peninsula and a walk-in pantry provide exceptional storage, while relocating the electrical panel created even more cabinet space.
Wide-plank flooring, updated bathrooms, modern finishes, and generous room sizes make this home truly move-in ready. Large windows and the enclosed sunroom showcase the Potomac River views and provide an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or entertaining guests.
Whether you are downsizing from a single-family home, upsizing from a smaller condominium, or simply searching for space that’s increasingly difficult to find in Rosslyn, this home offers a rare blend of size, convenience, and lifestyle.
The Belvedere is a full-service building with an extensive amenity package including a large outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis courts (lined for pickleball), 24-hour front desk, party room, convenience store, car wash area and more. Located just a short walk to the Rosslyn Metro, Target, Starbucks, and Safeway, and minutes to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Washington, D.C., the location offers unbeatable convenience.
Arlington Public Schools (APS) is moving forward with the implementation of a Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer (CDEIO).
APS posted the vacancy in early October and hopes to have the position filled by January. There is a sense within the Arlington community that this process is being rushed – unnecessarily and to the detriment of APS’ own efforts.

The county is looking into whether to remove a section of road planned for the Met Park site officials say it no longer needed in now that Amazon is moving in (Image via Arlington County)
Arlington is considering removing a planned section of road in the Metropolitan Park site in Pentagon City, the future home of Amazon’s permanent HQ2.
The Arlington County Board will vote during its meeting this Saturday, November 16 on the first step to nixing a stretch of 14th Road S. that was supposed to one day extend eastward on the lot that now slated for the first phase of Amazon’s headquarters plan.
At least one County Board member could be pushing to change setback regulations in a bid to provide more of a buffer between homes.
Arlington County Board member Libby Garvey recently visited an infill residential development on N. River Street, near McLean, with several neighbors she said were upset that a developer clear-cut trees on the lot and is planning to build several homes that could be located close to the neighbors.
Residents Want Second Pentagon City Metro Entrance — “Some longtime residents have spent years agitating for just such a study of their roads and public transit options, seeing a need long before HQ2 was a twinkle in Jeff Bezos’ eye. They’re eager to see an evaluation of how much new density the area can bear, and what solutions could make it easier for Pentagon City residents to get around — perhaps most notably, they’re pressing to see a second entrance for the neighborhood’s Metro station.” [Washington Business Journal]
