Property Description
Welcome to Park Fairfax, one of Alexandria's most iconic and beloved communities. Originally built during World War II to house the civilian workforce supporting the nation's war effort, Park Fairfax has become a treasured Northern Virginia neighborhood known for its charming brick architecture, mature trees, winding sidewalks, and true sense of community. Unlike many newer developments, Park Fairfax offers a timeless character and lifestyle that continues to attract buyers generation after generation. This bright and inviting end-unit condominium is filled with natural light and enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees and green space. The open floor plan creates a comfortable environment for everyday living and entertaining, while the spacious bedroom features a versatile bonus nook that can serve as a home office, reading retreat, workout area, or guest sleeping space. Dual closets provide excellent storage, and beneath the existing carpet, original hardwood floors are believed to be waiting to be uncovered and restored, offering an opportunity to add even more charm and value to the home. The condominium fee provides exceptional value by covering exterior building maintenance, water, sewer, trash removal, snow removal, and the master insurance policy, helping simplify homeownership and reduce unexpected expenses. Residents also enjoy access to an impressive collection of amenities, including three swimming pools, seven tennis courts, volleyball and basketball courts, a fitness facility, playgrounds, a party room, woodland walking trails, a car wash and maintenance area, and convenient laundry facilities, all within a beautifully landscaped setting. Location is another standout feature. The Village at Shirlington, known for its restaurants, entertainment, boutique shopping, and vibrant atmosphere, is just minutes away. Del Ray, Old Town Alexandria, Pentagon City, and Washington, DC are all easily accessible, making it convenient to enjoy everything the region has to offer. Commuters will appreciate direct bus service to Pentagon City Metro, quick access to I-395, and proximity to major employment centers including the Pentagon, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, and Fort Belvoir. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being near the Four Mile Run Trail and the W&OD Trail, which provide miles of scenic paths for walking, running, and cycling. Nearby parks, dog parks, and abundant green space further enhance the lifestyle offered by this exceptional community. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, military professional, or simply looking for a home with character, convenience, and lasting appeal, this Park Fairfax residence presents a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Alexandria history in one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods.
