A low-rise garden-style condominium community built in 1987, this three-story collection of 1- and 2-bedroom units occupies a mature, wooded site in Annandale. Buildings present conventional brick and siding façades with exterior walkways, ground-level entries and exterior corridors supplemented by private balconies or patios for many homes. Interiors commonly include open and traditional floor plans, vaulted or cathedral ceilings in select units, recessed lighting, crown moldings, wood floors and carpeted areas; primary baths and secondary baths vary between tub/shower combos and jetted tubs. Kitchens tend toward galley or compact layouts with upgraded countertops and some newer appliances; many condos feature fireplaces, skylights, built-ins and walk-in closets. Shared building conveniences emphasize practical storage and outdoor recreation: secure storage rooms, ample assigned and guest parking, sidewalks, street lighting and on-site tennis courts. The community also offers a neighborhood pool, accessible walking trails and proximity to parks, schools and transit with easy access to I-495 and other major commuter routes. Pet and service policies are governed by the condominium association; routine exterior maintenance, snow removal and common-area upkeep are included in monthly condo fees, which also typically cover water and trash.
