One of the most in-demand condominium communities in Arlington’s Rosslyn neighborhood, the Wooster and Mercer Lofts is home to 87 residences across two brick warehouse-style buildings. Developed by Abdo and designed by Cunningham Quill, the project was completed in 2007. Located along trendy Clarendon Boulevard and extending down two side streets, the residences are conveniently close to top restaurants and shopping destinations. Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, exposed overhead ductwork, giant factory-style windows, and 150 year-old brick accents that were reclaimed from the former Little Sisters of the Poor convent in Washington, DC.
Only one new listing popped up in December at the Wooster and Mercer, and it is already pending. Unit #M306 in the Mercer building was offered at $1,038,000, with one bedroom, 1.5 baths, and a super spacious 1,421 square foot layout. There is also a large den/office with wide sliding barn-style doors that could alternately be used as a second bedroom. The renovated condo with its giant windows has lovely cherry hardwood floors, a white brick wall in the main living area, exposed overhead ductwork, and long hanging lamps. An incredible open chef-inspired kitchen has been remodeled with white stone counters and a matching dining/prep counter with waterfall edges. The bedroom suite with its walk-in closet is quite roomy, and there is also an in-unit laundry room. Garage parking is included.
There was one closing at Wooster and Mercer in December. Unit #W110 in the Wooster building had been listed at $1,085,000 before ultimately closing at $1,075,000. The handsome one-bedroom residence with 1.5 baths and a highly appealing 1,270 square foot layout is located on the quiet side of the building and boasts a huge and open main living and dining area with corner exposures and massive windows. Exposed overhead ductwork, custom paint, and an exemplary open kitchen lend to the appeal, and the pale wide-plank hardwood floors are an attractive and interesting deviation from the building’s standard cherrywood. But perhaps the most striking feature is an incredible 1,300 square foot private patio that wraps around the unit. There is tons of space for hosting outdoor dinner parties with multiple lounge areas, and there is even a hot tub. Assigned parking was also included.
The most recent previous closing was in November with Unit #M301 selling for well above its asking price. This impressive 1,860 Square foot residence with two bedrooms and two baths wound up fetching $1,333,500 after originally being offered at $1,299,900. That’s a solid $33,600 gain for the corner condo with an expansive main living and dining area surrounded by towering window walls. The chef’s kitchen features granite counters, handing pendant lights, and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. The primary bedroom suite has its own sitting area, a custom walk-in closet, a wall of windows, and a beautiful marble bathroom with a twin-sink vanity and a walk-in frameless shower. The residence also comes with two garage parking spaces and extra storage.
Residents at the Wooster and Mercer Lofts enjoy a terrific location, lovely exterior grounds, and a friendly staffed front desk with concierge service. This is a pet-friendly condominium community with grassy areas to walk dogs as well as a small next-door neighborhood park. There is a nice outdoor onsite swimming pool with a lounge area, a well-equipped fitness center, and a club room with billiards. In addition to the secure garage parking, there are also nearby public transit options including both the Rosslyn Metro Station and the Courthouse Metro Station. The popular address is along the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor, made up of five Metrorail connected urban villages: Rosslyn, Courthouse, Clarendon, Virginia Square, and Ballston.
