Rare “treehouse” Monroe unit located on Parkfairfax’s sought-after garden lane, offering exceptional privacy with no neighbors on either side or above. This unique home includes exclusive attic storage not shared with any other unit—a true rarity in Parkfairfax—and features 805 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space. Enjoy the convenience of parking directly at your front door and an unbeatable location just two blocks from the pedestrian bridge to Shirlington, providing easy access to restaurants, theaters, Arlington Public Library, Harris Teeter, and the Shirlington Transit Center. The home is also close to Four Mile Run Trail and convenient connectors to the W&OD and Mount Vernon trails. Transit options abound, with multiple bus stops just one block away offering Alexandria DASH service to Pentagon and Potomac Yard Metros, as well as Metrobus A71 to Old Town/King Street and Ballston Metros. The current owner has completed extensive, high-quality updates throughout the unit, beginning with whole-home improvements that include a ProVia storm door (2020), ProVia windows throughout (2021), a new electrical panel and upgraded wiring (2021)—including readiness for a future mini-split system-plus an interior paint refresh (fall 2025). New through-the-wall heating and air-conditioning units for both the living room and bedroom replaced January 2026. The living room, kitchen, and work area were completely remodeled between March and June 2021, resulting in a highly functional and beautifully designed space. Highlights include custom designer cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a corner cabinet with lazy Susan, pull-out spice/bar storage, and a glass-front cabinet featuring original front-door knobs repurposed as pulls. Premium appliances include a Frigidaire Professional gas range and over-the-range microwave, Liebherr refrigerator with ice maker, Miele dishwasher with third rack, and Miele washer and dryer. The kitchen features soapstone countertops and window sills, slate flooring, a Kohler farmhouse sink with Moen disposal and Kraus professional faucet, new tile backsplash, and new plumbing with emergency shut-off valves. Recessed lighting throughout the kitchen and living room is complemented by pendant lighting over the island and sink. A thoughtfully designed work-from-home space includes pull-out file cabinets, dedicated storage and outlets, and a raised island that doubles as a standing desk. The bathroom has been tastefully updated, featuring a Kohler low-flush toilet, Delta two-way shower head with detachable hand shower, new shelving, and a Pottery Barn medicine cabinet. Electrical upgrades include dedicated circuits and a heater/vent/light/nightlight combination, and the space was opened up by removing the bath closet wall and installing open shelving with a sliding door. Above the unit, the attic—controlled exclusively by the owner but designated as a common element per condo documents offers valuable storage space. Updates include professional asbestos removal (2020), a pull-down ladder (2021), and flooring added for storage (summer 2024). Outdoor area is equally inviting. The owner-installed plantings on both sides of the entryway enhance the home’s garden setting. The garden area across the sidewalk is a Parkfairfax common element but was planted and is maintained by the owner, adding to the home’s distinctive charm. Additional storage amenities include a secure bike storage room located in the building across the street and kayak storage racks in the nearby service yard. Parkfairfax residents enjoy a wide range of community amenities, including tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, a fitness center, three swimming pools, a Capital Bikeshare station, and an electric vehicle charging outlet near the service yard. Enjoy this and so much more!
