The two available listings at one of my favorite buildings are now under contract and it looks like The Waterview in Rosslyn has nothing available for the first time in the building’s history. Or so it would seem.  This trend is indicative of the market in general.  Where once buyers had their pick of several units at competing buildings, inventory is so low that many buildings are indeed “sold out” and those that aren’t don’t have the desirable inventory options they once had.  The better the unit, the harder it is to find on both sides of the river.  Even the massive penthouse that languished on the market for many months landed in a bidding war as buyers realized the party was over and had to jump to acquire it when the first offer came in.  The result?  A cash sale $250,000 over list price that closed in 10 days.  It doesn’t pay to wait!

The Waterview is a boutique building with just 134 residences boasting large sun-filled floor plans flanked by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass with incredible views of DC and the Potomac River.

My first listing is one of the sought-after A-line properties, The Waterview #1708. Dramatic curving walls of glass with direct Potomac views set the stage for this smashing 2-bedroom 2-full-bath property.

An open kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel appliances will satisfy the gourmet in you while keeping you at the center of things.

Abundant closet space, a full size Bosch washer and dryer and a deeded garage parking space are additional pluses. The price? $899,000!

Unit #2309 is a smart one bedroom with stunning water views through floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Georgetown and Key Bridge. An open kitchen layout boasts high-end stainless steel appliances, center island, gas cooking and microwave. All of the kitchen and bath cabinetry have been redone in white to make the space modern and bright. The bedroom features a stylish built-in headboard and floating side tables.
