Noteworthy: The Belvedere’s largest 3-bedroom floor plan with direct Monument views
Wake up to Washington’s most iconic landmarks. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase sensational views of the U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and the Potomac River.
Spanning more than 2,060 square feet with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this residence features the largest floor plan at The Belvedere and one of the community’s most sought-after layouts.
Designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the floor plan includes a formal dining area, two living spaces, and an expansive double sunroom that captures the views. The spacious kitchen opens directly to the sunroom and offers abundant cabinet storage and a pantry.
The primary suite features a walk-in closet, custom built-ins, and an en-suite bathroom. On the opposite side of the residence, a secondary bedroom with its own full bath lives much like a second primary suite, providing privacy for guests. A third bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for a home office, fitness room, or guests.
Unobstructed monument views from a three-bedroom residence are exceptionally rare. Combined with its square footage, layout, and iconic Washington backdrop, this is a home that rarely becomes available.
The Belvedere is a full-service building with an extensive amenity package including a large outdoor pool, gym, tennis/pickleball courts, 24-hour front desk, party room, convenience store, 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.

Todd Isao Endo was born in Los Angeles, California on December 30, 1941, just three weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to Frank Aiji Endo and Alice Yuriko Sumida Endo. In 1942, Todd and his family were imprisoned by the U.S. government along with 125,000 other Japanese Americans during World War II. The Endo family was detained at Rohwer Internment Center in Arkansas until 1945. After their release, Todd’s family relocated to Ohio before settling in the Washington, DC area. There Todd grew up and attended school graduating from Wheaton High School in 1959. A strong scholar/athlete, Todd played basketball and baseball, participated in student government, and won the Japanese American Citizens League national oratorical contest in 1962. Todd continued his education at Oberlin College where he met lifelong friends and continued to enjoy academics and play sports (soccer, basketball & squash). He graduated in history in 1963.
Compelled by his family’s experience of unjust treatment during the internment, and urged by his mother Alice to recognize parallels between the Japanese American experience with the unjust treatment of African Americans, Todd became involved in the Civil Rights Movement, participating in the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 and later taking part in the voting rights demonstrations in Selma, Alabama in 1965.
