A would-be robber walked up behind a man and struck him several times with a metal pipe around just after midnight this morning, police say.
The attack happened as the man was entering a residential building on the 900 block of S. Buchanan Street, in the Barcroft neighborhood near Columbia Pike.

Type: 3 BR, 3 BA condo – 2000 sq. ft.
Open House: Sunday, June 14th 1 pm – 3 pm

Noteworthy: Rare 3-bedroom floor plan with over 2,000 square feet and Potomac River Views
Three-bedroom condos at The Belvedere don’t come along often, and even fewer offer this combination of space, updates, and Potomac River views. 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.
