One of a kind view for sale now in Montebello!
On sale now at Montebello!
Montebello is a great community, located in Fairfax County VA just outside Old Town Alexandria on the Yellow Line at the Huntington Metro. Montebello has easy access to the Beltway (I-495) at the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and is convenient for commuters destined for Washington DC, Arlington, Crystal City or the Pentagon. Every so often a gem of a unit comes available and this one is it. Montebello is a resort-style condo with 24-hour security, gated entry and loads of amenities.
This 1-bedroom unit is affordably priced and is relatively spacious compared to nearby offerings at the Midtowns and elsewhere. These pictures really don’t do the view justice. Look north from your 14th floor perch on Mount Eagle and you’ll peer down upon the Carlyle skyline. In the distance Reagan National Airport and the Washington Monument are clearly visible. Straight-ahead you look down on the arches of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Then to the south the lucky resident overlooks National Harbor and the natural beauty of the Potomac River.
Call 703 765 0300 to tour this beauty before it’s too late.
