About 1439 Martha Custis Dr
Nature lovers rejoice! What truly sets this one bedroom, one bath condo apart is the patio, rare in both its privacy and its lush, tucked away feel. Plus, with a covered front entry nestled into a charming courtyard just steps from parking and the Fairlington footbridge, this home delivers on both location and that sense of retreat from the moment you arrive.
The patio, surrounded by a quaint garden fence, becomes a true extension of the living space, enclosed by mature evergreens and complemented by hydrangea and azalea plantings that create a secluded garden setting. It’s the kind of outdoor space that feels hidden and inviting, perfect for relaxing evenings or giving a small dog a safe place to enjoy the outdoors.
Inside, the layout is both functional and inviting. Hardwood floors run through the main living areas, while the kitchen is finished with tile flooring and thoughtfully updated with granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry with trash pull-out, a gas range, Haier refrigerator, and pantry cabinet. The stacked washer and dryer are conveniently located in the kitchen, keeping them separate from the bedroom.
Storage here is exceptional for a one bedroom, with two large entry closets - one outfitted with custom shelving, drawers, and additional hanging space - plus a third deep closet ideal for utility items or pantry overflow.
The corner bedroom is generously sized to accommodate a king bed and features two closets, both with custom built-ins. Plush carpet adds warmth underfoot, while the bathroom has been updated and includes a medicine cabinet for additional storage.
The location is just as compelling, with parking right out front and one of the easiest walks to Shirlington, plus a bus stop just one building away. Highly unique for a community this close to DC, Park Fairfax offers 3 outdoor pools (with the B pool directly across the street), 8 tennis courts, a basketball court, tot lots, an exercise room, library, party rooms, EV charging stations, a car wash and maintenance area, and community events like plant and yard sales. The condo fee also includes water and gas - leaving only electricity and internet as separate utilities.
With its uniquely private outdoor space, corner positioning, and charming updates throughout, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to have your own Park Fairfax oasis with the feel of a darling, one-level home.
