Welcome to The Gem at Fairlington Villages, a beautifully updated 3 level townhome in the heart of this sought after community. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has been thoughtfully renovated with upgrades that truly set it apart from others in the neighborhood. The fully expanded kitchen completed in 2024 features a large island with seating, a dedicated coffee bar, and updated cabinetry. The improved layout creates a rare open and functional space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Both bathrooms were completely remodeled in 2024 with modern finishes. The lower level has been fully renovated with new flooring and ceiling, and unlike many Fairlington homes, the laundry area was redesigned into a separate dedicated space rather than located inside the basement bathroom. Major system upgrades include new windows throughout with a transferable lifetime warranty (2024), a new HVAC system with Nest thermostat (2024), a new front screen door with transferable lifetime warranty (2024), full interior repaint, refreshed landscaping, and a roof replaced by the Condo Association in 2025. Out front, a charming courtyard creates the perfect gathering space for morning coffee, fresh air evenings, or hosting friends, adding to the true neighborhood feel that makes Fairlington so special. Residents enjoy pools, tennis courts, walking trails, dog parks, and community events throughout the year. Just a short walk to The Village at Shirlington, home to Harris Teeter, Signature Theatre, AMC, Busboys & Poets, Palette 22, Copperwood Tavern, and more. The Shirlington Transit Center offers direct bus service to the Pentagon Metro with easy access to I 395, Route 7, and Route 50, making commuting to DC, the Pentagon, Crystal City, and Old Town simple and convenient. Updated, expanded, and ideally located, this is Fairlington living at its best.
