8002 Chanute Pl

A low-rise, mid-1960s condominium community of four stories offering primarily two-bedroom residences with traditional and open floorplan variants. Built in 1966, the complex mixes painted brick and horizontal siding with modest landscaping, patios or balconies at many units, and an arrangement of walk-up entries and ground-level patios. Interiors commonly feature galley kitchens or peninsula layouts, combination living/dining rooms, recessed lighting, upgraded countertops, wood or LVP floors, sizable primary closets and renovated baths; many units also include in-building laundry, storage rooms in the basement, and newer windows and sliding glass doors. Shared outdoor amenities include a large seasonal swimming pool, multiple playgrounds/tot lots, barbecue areas, a full-size basketball court, street lighting, and a secure storage program. Parking is handled through unassigned spaces with two-pass allocations and guest passes; condo fees are all-inclusive in many units and often cover utilities (electric, gas, water, heat, trash) as well as building maintenance, HVAC service, pest control and snow removal. The association appears FHA/VA approved and provides routine exterior upkeep. Located within easy walking distance of the Mosaic District and a short drive to Dunn Loring and Merrifield metro stations, the community sits near major highways (I-495, I-66, Route 50) and regional employers, combining suburban campus-style open space with immediate access to retail, dining and medical centers.
