PRIVATE ROOM IN HUGE TOWNHOUSE AVAILABLE BTW MARCH 1rst AND APRIL 1rst IN ARLINGTON VA, COURTHOUSE $1,136.50/month, NO Deposit, + amenities Looking to fill my unfurnished room in large Courthouse Townhouse (Arlington, VA) ASAP or March 1st! Rent is $1,136.50 and utilities run about $100 a month depending on the season including high speed internet, a monthly cleaning service and a compost. The bedroom has one included closet and fits a queen size bed, wardrobe, nightstands and more. I would prefer to keep my furniture but we can discuss about it if it really accommodates you to have a furnished room. The bathroom is shared with one tidy roommate. This huge town house has four roommates but because it's multilevel with huge space it never feels crowded. All the roommates are super friendly women between 24-31 years old. We all do our own thing but also hang out often, for cooking or movie evenings. The common spaces and kitchen are fully furnished. You also get access to our community pool, grilling area, gym, and concierge package reception! The house is in an awesome location in Arlington, 7 minutes walking distance to the Courthouse metro and equal walking distance to the bars and restaurants in Clarendon. Also a quick walk to Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Street parking is available or an assigned garage space is also available for a monthly fee. Please dm me a little about you for more info!
