Why rent when you can own in one of Arlington’s most convenient locations? Typical rents for a 2-bedroom, 1-bath in the area range from $2,650 to $3,200/month—but for around $3,070/month (including condo fees, all utilities, and two parking passes), you could own this beautifully updated condo instead. With preferred lender options offering as little as 0% down, you can start building equity, enjoy potential tax deductions, and take advantage of a more stable monthly cost while rents continue to rise. And for investors? What a great option! Did you know that condo fees are tax-deductible as an operating expense—along with maintenance, insurance, and more?* And who doesn’t love the idea of top-floor penthouse living? Welcome to Unit 511 at Stratton House—a bright and inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo with just under 1,000 square feet of living space. Perched on the fifth floor and quietly tucked away at the end of the hallway, this top-floor unit lives large with one of the building’s most spacious and private floor plans. Expansive corner picture windows fill the open-concept living and dining area with natural light and offer wide, unobstructed views, creating a peaceful retreat in a prime Arlington location. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a natural stone tile backsplash, offering both style and functionality. Down the hall, two spacious bedrooms provide ample closet space, with additional storage conveniently located in the hallway. 2025 upgrades include brand-new windows, modern window treatments, fresh paint, a new dishwasher, and an updated bathroom vanity and fixtures. Residents of Stratton House enjoy a community pool, EV charging stations, and beautifully maintained grounds. Condo fee covers all utilities except internet, and the unit includes two parking passes, a guest pass, and a dedicated storage unit. Located just minutes from the Ballston-MU Metro, Ballston Quarter, and local favorites like Ruthie’s All-Day and Bangkok 54, this home offers the best of Arlington living. Schedule your showing today—own your home, grow your equity, and simplify your life.
