A rare second chance! This beautiful home is back on the market after the previous buyer experienced an unexpected change in employment circumstances. No fault of the property, as the inspection passed with flying colors. This is simply a renewed opportunity for buyers who may have missed it the first time. Seller is still offering a $5,000 seller credit at closing to reduce a buyer's cost to purchase. Tucked into the heart of beloved Parkfairfax, 3527 Martha Custis Drive offers a rare and thoughtfully upgraded 1-bedroom, 1-bath garden-level condominium that blends timeless design, modern convenience, and an unmatched sense of community. Inside, a fully renovated kitchen (2016) shines with white quartz countertops, marble flooring, and custom maple cabinetry featuring soft-close doors, a lazy Susan, and built-in trash and recycling storage. The apron-front sink anchors the space, while newer appliances (including a 2026 Insignia refrigerator, 2025 Whirlpool dishwasher, and Whirlpool microwave and stove) make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. The home's thoughtful upgrades continue into the bedroom, where custom closet systems with built-in shelving and drawers (2014) maximize storage in a way rarely seen in Parkfairfax. Even more unique, a washer and dryer are conveniently tucked into the bedroom closet, an exceptional feature not usually found in other units. The bathroom, renovated in 2019, features classic subway tile, wainscoting, updated flooring, and a new faucet (2024), offering a clean and timeless aesthetic. Natural light pours through casement windows replaced in 2021 by Window Nation, enhanced by custom cellular blinds installed in 2023. Step outside to your private paver patio, installed in 2017 and surrounded by lush landscaping, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Additional highlights include extra storage in a nearby building on Fitzgerald Lane, free and plentiful street parking, and the ease of a bus stop just outside your door with direct access to the Pentagon Metro. Beyond the home itself, Parkfairfax is known for its vibrant, welcoming community. With open green spaces, no fences, and a layout designed to bring neighbors together, it's easy to connect! Whether you're out for a walk, enjoying the outdoors, or meeting fellow residents (and their dogs). This is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle rooted in connection, convenience, and charm.
