Welcome to refined urban living in one of Arlington's most sought-after boutique buildings-The Monroe. Just one block from the Virginia Square Metro and minutes from Ballston Quarter, this bright and beautifully updated 2-bedroom + den, 2-bath residence offers a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and unbeatable convenience. Spanning 1,350 square feet, this thoughtfully designed floor plan boasts generous room sizes, excellent natural light throughout the year, and a highly functional layout that suits a variety of lifestyles. The versatile den-enclosed with French doors-can serve as a private home office, guest space, or creative studio. A spacious utility closet provides bonus storage rarely found in condo living. The updated kitchen features light oak hardwood floors, shaker-style cabinetry, striking granite countertops, and a colorful tile backsplash that adds personality and warmth. Recent upgrades include a new ultra-quiet dishwasher, gas cooktop with sleek backlit knobs, and plumbing enhancements throughout-ensuring both beauty and peace of mind. Relax in comfort with fresh paint throughout, brand new premium carpet in both bedrooms and the den, as well as new roller shades-blackout in bedrooms and light-filtering in the living area. Garage parking space #106 conveys with the unit, offering secure, convenient access directly to the building-an essential perk for urban living. Tucked in a quiet, park-side location, you're moments from Quincy Park, Arlington Central Library, and zoned for some of the area's top-rated schools. The Monroe offers boutique amenities including a concierge, fitness center, clubroom, library, and rooftop terrace-ideal for gatherings or a quiet morning coffee. This is city living without compromise-luxury, location, and lifestyle all in one.
