Welcome to Unit 1004, a beautifully updated two-bedroom residence tucked inside the well-known Alexandria Knolls West community — a building celebrated for its spacious floor plans , strong sense of community, and a peaceful residential feel that you notice the moment you arrive. This isn’t just a condo; it’s the kind of home that invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and truly settle into your space. From the moment you step inside, the open concept layout draws you in with light, space, and intention. Gleaming white porcelain floors extend through the foyer, kitchen, dining, and living areas — a bright, seamless canvas that makes the home feel expansive and elevated. The living room flows naturally to the dining space and modern kitchen, creating a harmonious layout that supports both quiet mornings and lively evenings. The kitchen stands out with its ultra-modern design: bright white cabinetry, sleek black stainless-steel smart appliances, a wet bar, wine refrigerator, and a striking island with cooktop and range hood. It’s a space that feels both stylish and deeply functional — perfect for everyday routines or entertaining with ease. And then there is the balcony — a signature feature of this home. Nearly 40 feet long, newly tiled, and enclosed with fresh plexiglass panels that make it safe for pets while preserving the view, it feels like an additional living room in the sky. Accessible from both bedrooms and the living room, it becomes a place for morning light, evening breeze, container gardening, meals outdoors, or simply a moment of quiet. Gas grills are allowed, making it a rare and truly usable outdoor retreat. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded to create a serene, insulated sanctuary. All three sets of sliding glass doors were replaced in 2021 with energy-efficient, noise-reducing doors, ensuring the interior feels peaceful even when the world outside is active. Custom motorized window treatments added in 2023 allow you to shift the mood from softly lit to bright and open with a single touch. Both bedrooms offer generous space and comfort, featuring neutral wood laminate flooring and custom closets. The renovated bathrooms feel clean, modern, and calming. Two brand-new HVAC units, installed in 2021, ensure the home’s systems match its polished aesthetic. Life at Alexandria Knolls West feels easy and welcoming. Residents enjoy two fitness rooms, a sauna, indoor and outdoor lounge areas, billiards, a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a car wash area. The building is pet-friendly, complete with a designated pet waste station area, and is actively enhancing shared spaces with refreshed hallways and new elevators on the way. Verizon Fios is also expected soon, adding even more convenience. The location places you minutes from the Van Dorn Metro, I-395, I-495, Old Town Alexandria, Kingstowne, grocery stores, restaurants, and the exciting new Landmark Mall redevelopment. And with such quick access into Washington, DC and the Pentagon, commuting, exploring, dining, and enjoying the city becomes wonderfully simple — close enough to feel connected, yet just far enough to return home to quiet and calm. This home also comes with two deeded parking spaces and a separate storage unit, rounding out its exceptional livability. More than fully renovated, this home offers an emotional experience — a sense of quiet, openness, and grounding. It’s a place where mornings feel brighter, evenings feel softer, and the balcony becomes your personal retreat. A home where you can grow, host, recharge, and feel truly at peace. Welcome home to Unit 1004 at Alexandria Knolls West — a home where space, serenity, and modern living meet beautifully.
