1615 Preston Rd Unit 944-1615, Alexandria, VA 22302
About this home
Welcome to this beautifully maintained two-bedroom Madison model in sought-after Parkfairfax, a rare end-unit condominium offering the feel and privacy of a townhouse along with three exposures and abundant natural light. Set in an especially attractive corner of the building, the residence enjoys an elevated position surrounded by mature trees and greenery, creating wonderful treetop views and a sense of privacy that is difficult to replicate. Inside, the main level has been opened to create an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Multiple windows bring the outdoors in, while classic parquet hardwood flooring adds warmth and character throughout the living areas. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and a breakfast bar connecting the kitchen to the dining area. The bright living room provides ample space for both everyday living and entertaining, with windows on multiple sides taking full advantage of the home's corner orientation. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features windows on two exposures and excellent natural light. The second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or additional bedroom. A nicely well-maintained full bath completes the upper level, along with conveniently located laundry and valuable attic storage. Carpeting currently covers the parquet flooring on the bedroom level. Additional improvements include replacement windows and an updated electrical panel. Throughout the home, the condition reflects meticulous ownership and thoughtful care. The location within Parkfairfax is another standout feature. Positioned close to community amenities and the pedestrian connection to Shirlington, the home offers convenient access to shops, restaurants, trails, and neighborhood destinations while retaining the peaceful, wooded character for which Parkfairfax is known. Easy access to Washington, DC, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and major commuting routes completes this distinctive offering. This is one of those Parkfairfax homes where the location within the community makes a meaningful difference: end-unit privacy, three exposures, elevated treetop views, and a beautifully maintained interior.
Parkfairfax, located between Shirlington and Del Ray, is a garden-style and mid-century Alexandria neighborhood with wooded courtyards and brick walk-ups. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Parkfairfax Shopping Center at Preston Avenue and Martha Custis Drive, where a low-slung strip of local storefronts meets a steady stream of walkers and cyclists. Signature community pillars include Signature Theatre in nearby Shirlington, the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse, and the Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market. Curving lanes, mature trees, and pocket greens shape a quiet, pedestrian-first rhythm. The Mount Vernon Trail and Four Mile Run Trail frame daily routes toward the Potomac and Old Town. Nearby Shirlington’s dining blocks add a polished, after-work counterpoint.
