1301 Karen Boulevard # 401

Perched among the treetops on the fourth floor, this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo offers a rare treehouse-like serenity that sets it apart from everything else in the complex. Surrounded by lush canopy views and filled with natural light, the home feels like a private retreat while keeping you just minutes from everything the DC metro has to offer. Spanning over 1,200 square feet, the open-concept layout is enhanced by crown molding throughout the main living areas, giving the space a polished, finished feel that is hard to find at this price point. The living and dining areas flow naturally to a private balcony where the tree canopy creates a peaceful backdrop morning or night. The kitchen was fully refreshed in 2023 with stainless steel Samsung appliances, including a refrigerator, gas range, microwave, and dishwasher, complemented by updated flooring and modern light fixtures throughout. A brand-new full-size washer (2026), in-unit dryer, and water heater replaced in 2022 mean the big-ticket items are already done. Both full bathrooms add everyday practicality, and the generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for a home office, guest room, or roommate arrangement. Two parking permits, gated community access, and a community fitness center round out the lifestyle package. For first-time buyers especially, this is a compelling opportunity: over 1,200 square feet, every major appliance updated, two full baths, and that elevated treehouse calm, all within easy reach of Metro, I-495, and the best of DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland.
