This updated one-bedroom condo in the Hillwood at Landmark community feels like the sweet spot between serenity and city energy. Tucked into a quiet corner of the community, yet perfectly placed near everything that makes Alexandria great, this home brings together charm, privacy, and smart upgrades, all in one low-maintenance, easy-living package. Step inside and the warmth hits you right away. The living room’s soaring ceilings, rich engineered hardwood floors, and classic wood-burning fireplace set the tone for relaxed evenings or cozy movie nights. A freshly updated sliding door (along with newer windows) lets in the light and leads to your private patio, just the right size for a table, a couple of chairs, and a potted plant or two. It’s an outdoor extension of your living space where morning coffee or evening wine fits right in. The kitchen isn’t just stylish, it’s smart. With stainless steel appliances, upgraded countertops, stunning backsplash, a large pantry, and plenty of cabinet storage, it’s built for both quick breakfasts and dinner party prep. And with a dedicated dining area, you can host without ever feeling cramped. In the bedroom, a huge walk-in closet offers the kind of storage most one-bedroom condos only dream of. The full bath is just steps away, and the in-unit washer and dryer keep life extra convenient. Thoughtful updates like a brand-new dishwasher (2025), hot water heater (2022), and those energy-efficient windows and sliding glass door mean the big stuff is already done. There's even an extra outlet above the fireplace for your wall-mounted TV and another behind the bookcase—because yes, someone was thinking ahead. And then there’s Hillwood itself! This community boasts professionally landscaped grounds, a community clubhouse with rentable event space, showers, and changing areas, plus a private outdoor pool that even hosts an annual end-of-summer doggy swim. The condo fee covers water, trash, snow removal, and access to all of it, so you can focus on living, not managing. Location-wise, this one nails it. You’re just five minutes by DASH or Metrobus to the Van Dorn Street Metro (Blue Line), and a short hop to I-395, I-495, and the heart of D.C. Old Town Alexandria is minutes away for dinners, waterfront strolls, or weekend farmers markets. And right around the corner? West End Village Shopping Center with Home Depot, grocery stores, a post office, restaurants, and the Charles Beatley Library. Basically, anything you need, right when you need it. This isn't just a condo, it’s a perfectly proportioned, thoughtfully updated home in a community that makes life easier. Whether it’s your first home, your right-sized next one, or your low-maintenance pied-à-terre near D.C., this Hillwood gem is ready.
