Perched high in The Continental—one of the neighborhood’s tallest and most iconic buildings—this beautifully updated 1 Bedroom + Den residence delivers what so many others simply cannot: breathtaking, expansive views that stretch for miles and transform everyday living into something extraordinary. From the moment you step inside, the home feels bright, open, and inviting. Natural light pours through the windows, complementing the rich hardwood floors and thoughtfully designed layout. The living space strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace that invites you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy relaxing evenings or quiet weekend mornings. The Kitchen is both functional and welcoming, seamlessly connected to the living and dining areas so you are always part of the moment—whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in. With granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and updated stainless steel appliances, this Kitchen offers everything you need with a timeless, polished look. (Refrigerator replaced in 2022, microwave replaced in 2021, and gas stove/oven replaced in 2019). The Primary Bedroom is a true retreat, featuring brand new plush carpeting (installed on May 26th, 2026), a large sunlit window, and an exceptional walk-in closet designed to keep everything beautifully organized. The Bathroom is equally well-appointed, offering convenient dual access from both the Bedroom and main living area, generous counter space, and a calming, spa-like feel. The Den adds a layer of versatility that today’s lifestyle demands. Whether you envision a private home office, a guest space, a creative studio, or a personal wellness area, this flexible room adapts effortlessly to your needs. A dedicated in-unit laundry closet adds everyday ease and convenience. No more shared community laundry!

Beyond the walls of the home, Residents of The Continental enjoy a full-service, amenity-rich experience designed to elevate daily life. From the 24-hour concierge to the rooftop pool, terrace with BBQ grilling stations and panoramic views, penthouse sky lounge, penthouse gym, theater room, and resident workspaces, every detail supports both convenience and connection. The lobby is currently being reimagined with a sophisticated renovation, further enhancing the building’s already refined, hotel-inspired atmosphere. And then there is the location—truly second to none. Situated in the heart of Ballston, you are just moments from everything: Metro access, vibrant dining, shopping, entertainment, parks, trails, and everyday essentials.
