About This Home

As of January 2025

ACCEPTING BACK-UPS!
CLOSE-OUT SALE!!! Owner is going overseas so has dropped the price nearly $70,000 below tax-assessed value to sell it quickly! On-going capital improvement projects in the development and neighborhood when complete are expected to contribute to a steep rise in prices so this is a great deal for any buyer, so come prepared to make a deal!

Welcome home to 969 S. Rolfe St., #2. This lovely unit has been beautifully updated and maintained, with total renovations by the current owner with on-going maintenance and upgrades since he purchased it in 1996. This home was selected in an open competition to be used as a set in an episode of a national PBS television show series! This 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home in Westhampton Mews has been freshly painted (neutral colors), has two balconies, is filled with natural light and is very spacious (over 1,580 sq. ft.). The large living room has stunning crown molding, an attractive thermostat-controlled gas-insert in the fireplace providing enhanced energy efficiency, a large walk-in cedar storage closet under the staircase, and sliding glass doors to a balcony. Recent improvements include a renovated white kitchen (12/2023) with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and new floor; a new electric WiFi-controlled hot water heater (08/2023); and new HVAC system (04/2017). In 2016 new Pella windows were installed throughout the house including the kitchen bay window. The living room sliding doors and the windows in two of the bedrooms are soundproofed. The primary bedroom suite includes crown molding and an updated bath with walk-in shower. One bedroom has custom built-in bookcases and desk making it perfect for an in-home office (will remove if unwanted). Other renovations/improvements include a house-wide sound speaker system and retractable stairs to the attic which is floored, fully insulated with light switches, electrical outlet and custom-installed attic fan. All this in a great location - Minutes to Rtes 395, 66 and 50. Less than 1.3 miles to the Pentagon, Clarendon and Metro, and multiple bus stops with numerous bus routes in easy walking distance. Walk to parks, shopping and restaurants.
