Rising over the Rosslyn skyline like a slim and sleek obelisk, the Waterview is aptly named for its sublime views of the Potomac River. Designed by Robert Gurney, the mixed-use structure is home to Le Meridien Hotel at the first 12 levels, with condos at the upper 16 stories. There are 134 high-end condominium apartments in all, ranging from one to three bedrooms, and from around 570 to over 4,500 square feet in size. Also on the menu are top of the line amenities like room service from the hotel’s popular restaurant, Amuse.
There was one new listing in January at Waterview, and that is significant given how rare activity can be at this highly sought-after address. Unit #1403 offers a modern ambience with two bedrooms, two baths, and a 1,077 square foot layout. Priced at $749,000, the corner residence is flooded with natural light thanks to massive windows wrapping around two sides. There is a combination of hardwood floors in the main living and dining area, and cream carpet in the bedrooms. The open gourmet kitchen with its Wood Mode cabinetry and Viking, Sub-Zero, and Dacor stainless steel appliances fits unobtrusively at one end of the living area. Add marble-tiled baths, glimpses of the river, an in-unit Miele washer/dryer, walk-in closets, and reserved parking to the menu for this new entry to the marketplace.
Still available is Unit #1905 with a competitive price tag of $525,000. The one-bedroom flat has one bath and a fun 660 square foot floorplan that truly maximizes its available space. A large and open main living area with oversized windows is accentuated by attractive hardwood floors with a warm and rosy finish. The open gourmet kitchen with its dark granite counters, Wood-Mode cabinetry, and Viking and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances tucks nicely into one end of the layout, and there’s even a washer and dryer stack in the closet. Secure garage parking is included, plus there’s extra storage and all the building’s many perks as well.
There was one closing in January, with Unit #1702 selling for $1,105,000. The 1,239 square foot condo comes with two bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with both bedrooms being ensuite. The giant window walls with their breathtaking views of the Potomac River, Key Bridge, and monuments are definitely a focal point for this airy residence, but there are numerous other appealing features as well. The open chef-inspired kitchen is full-sized, positioned against one long wall with dark granite counters and Viking and Miele stainless steel appliances. There are gleaming hardwood floors in the living areas, brand-new carpet in the bedrooms, Elfa-fitted closets, and roller shades for the windows. Two secure garage parking spaces convey, along with a 45-foot acclimatized storage unit.
Unit #2703 has now expired. The two-bedroom apartment with 2.5 baths and an exceptionally sunny 1,475 square foot floorplan had been listed at $1,450,000. This residence has been nicely updated, including new wide-plank floors throughout, custom closets and organizers, and a custom Murphy bed in the second bedroom/office. The main living and dining area is quite large, complemented by a terrific gourmet kitchen with Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. Topping it all off are stellar views of the Potomac River from huge windows.
Those living at Waterview enjoy a pampered hotel-style lifestyle thanks to the fact that there’s a first class hotel at the lower levels. Condo owners are treated to room service, discounted meals at the popular onsite restaurant, Amuse, and reduced room rates for guests. There is also a staffed front desk, concierge service, a well-equipped fitness center, a community room, options for maid service, and a residents-only rooftop observation deck with fire pits, grills, and unsurpassed views. Rosslyn is often referred to as the Gateway to Arlington as it is the first community after crossing Key Bridge from DC.
