Welcome to a rarely available floor plan in the Carr at Pinecrest-a 2nd floor condo featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a private balcony. Only one unit with similar features has become available in the community since 2022. Thoughtfully updated and move-in ready, this south-facing home is filled with natural light throughout the year thanks to its ideal orientation and open, airy layout. Recent owner-focused improvements include fresh paint, new carpet, stylish top-down/bottom-up window shades, upgraded overhead lighting, and appliances including the refrigerator, range, washer, and dryer. Additional major updates include the HVAC, renovated kitchen shaker cabinetry, flooring, recessed lighting, dishwasher, bathroom vanities & flooring. The unit also features a wood-burning fireplace for colder months, and five closets: a primary walk-in, a secondary primary closet, one in the second bedroom, a hall coat closet, and a utility closet on the balcony. The spacious balcony overlooks an open green lawn, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. Tucked away from street traffic yet only a short stroll to the community pool, this location offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Two vehicles plus guest parking for the unit is allowed. A dedicated shaded parking space is conveniently positioned just north of the building for easy access, with plentiful nearby guest parking. Residents enjoy access to the highly regarded Pinecrest Community Association-often described as an “oasis inside the Beltway.” Community amenities include three tennis/pickleball courts, scenic walking and jogging trails, ponds and water features with gazebos, tot lots, and beautifully maintained common areas. Ideally located near the Pinecrest Golf Course, top-rated Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, shopping centers, dining, and everyday conveniences, with easy access to major commuter routes, this home offers an outstanding lifestyle in one of the area's most desirable communities. **SELLER IS OFFERING NEW BUYER FINANCIAL INCENTIVES.
