Enjoying a prime waterfront location in Arlington’s storied Rosslyn neighborhood is the aptly named Waterview. This mixed-use complex merges condominiums residences, an office tower and Le Meridien Hotel into one highly attractive package. Residents enjoy a number of full service amenities including room service meals delivered from the hotel’s popular restaurant, Amuse. The allure of the Waterview does have one drawback, however, as condo availabilities can be scarce.
There was only one new listing in February at the Waterview. Unit #1603 is a two bedroom, two-bath apartment with 1,077 square feet of living space and a slice of Potomac River and monument views from the giant living room windows. A large main area features blonde hardwood floors and a completely open gourmet kitchen set into one wall, with a Viking gas range, Sub-Zero fridge and Dacor microwave.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area as well as both bedrooms offer sublime views of the Potomac River and Key Bridge. Also worth noting are the luxurious marble tile bathrooms, plus a washer and dryer.
Unit #1706 remains available, after being reduced in price to $579,900 in January. This handsome flat has an 808 square foot layout with one bedroom, a bath and a fun den that makes a nifty work-from-home office space.
