Location does not get better than this. 12001 Taliesin Place, Unit 36 is a top floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo in the Oak Park community - directly across from Reston Town Center, pet friendly, and offering the kind of walkable lifestyle that most Northern Virginia buyers only dream about. The unit lives beautifully - hardwood flooring throughout, vaulted ceilings, and a gas fireplace in the living room that gives the space warmth and character that most condos at this price point simply cannot match. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a built-in microwave, and a breakfast bar that flows naturally into the dining area with recessed lighting. The primary bedroom offers a large walk-in closet, and an in-unit washer and dryer add the everyday convenience that matters most. Step out to the large covered L-shaped balcony - a rare find in this building and the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening unwind. The Oak Park community is well-maintained and amenity-rich - outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse, and a car wash station. Plenty of resident parking with two hang tags assigned for each unit, plus visitor parking. The condo fee covers water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, and common area upkeep. Pet friendly - dogs and cats welcome. And then there is the location. Directly across from Reston Town Center means Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, 50+ shops, 30 restaurants, a LOOK Dine-In Cinema, the Hyatt Regency, and the Pavilion - which hosts outdoor events, concerts, festivals, and an ice skating rink in winter - all steps from your front door. The W&OD Trail runs right through Reston for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Baron Cameron Dog Park and Canis Major Dog Park are both close by for four-legged residents. The Lake Anne Farmers Market runs every Saturday morning from April through November - fresh produce, baked goods, flowers, and local vendors just minutes away. Multiple gyms and fitness studios are within easy reach. Reston Hospital Center is a 4-minute walk. The Silver Line Metro at Reston Town Center station puts Tysons, Dulles, and Washington DC within easy reach. Reston Association's 55+ miles of trails, multiple lakes, pools, tennis and pickleball courts round out a lifestyle that is genuinely hard to replicate at this price point.
