Welcome to #309 at the Hyde Park! Hyde Park has the illustrious title of being the first condominium building in Ballston, converted from luxury rental apartments in 1980. Covering about 4 acres, the condo development boasts a green buffer that is rare in such properties. Unit #309 is fresh and move-in ready. This spacious condo offers a turn-key lifestyle and makes a perfect home for anyone and a spectatular pied-à-terre. The kitchen has new cabinetry and shelves, bright new lighting, new quartz counters, and new sink and faucet. Overlooking the living/dining area, you can cook with views of the surrounding trees through the full wall of windows and sliding door leading to the spacious balcony with views of the pool. The bedroom has a sliding door access to the balcony, a spacious closet with new organizers, and access to the bathroom through the closet. The balcony is the full width of the unit and overlooks the pools and green space surrounding the building. The bathroom has been completely renovated – new bathtub, tile surround, fixtures, flooring vanity, lights, toilet… it’s completely new and feels so luxurious in such a small space. Your monthly condo fees cover all utilities except cable/internet. High speed internet and cable services are available through Verizon Fios, Comcast, or DirectTV. The assessment also covers reserve fund contribution, staffing for on-site management, full time reception desk staffed 7am-Midnight, security from Midnight -7am, extermination services, routine maintenance (including the convectors in unit serviced twice a year), and operating costs including landscaping, lifeguards at the pool, trash and snow removal. Parking in the underground garage is available with a parking fee: One car is $225, two cars is $375, and three cars is $675. There is also pricing for motorcycles at $125. This building is full of fantastic amenities. There are two laundry rooms on each floor with two free washers and dryers in each. Community rooms are available for rental by residents and include a kitchen, pool table, and room for 100 guests. Storage units are available for rent through the condo, and there are also garden plots you can sign up to grow some amazing vegetables. While no dogs are permitted in the building, you can have one small domestic pet. This is as much about location as it is the condo itself. You are near two metro stations, Ballston Square (0.7 mi) and Virginia Square (also 0.7 mi). Ballston Quarter shopping mall is .25 mi away, with great shopping and many restaurants nearby. Tacos, Burgers, Chinese, Pizza…. Something new every night of the week. Groceries are nearby, too, with Harris Teeter located just behind the Hyde Park building.
