April 29 NOTE: All carpeting has been replaced, and the main bedroom has been repainted. The association is in the process of cleaning the outside of the windows which should happen soon. <br> * * * * * THE UNIT: Come home to this bright, modern, wide open-plan, corner unit in the Eclipse, which includes an extra-large double-aspect balcony, a garage space (RP2-150), and an extra storage space (SB D-15). Special features include gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, premium countertops, a kitchen island, ceiling fans, and a washer and dryer. You will truly enjoy havig a supermarket in the basement. <br> * * * * * THE ECLIPSE: Be sure to see the gym and the pool which are on the second floor of the East building #3650. Also go to the 7th floor and turn right out of the elevator to the super party room with a theatre, pool table, full kitchen, and a large outdoor terrace with a great DC view. There is a 24/7 concierge to welcome your guests and receive your packages, and there are bike storage areas. Be sure to go down to the P1 level and see what a luxury it is to have a Harris Teeter supermarket in your basement: This is easiest to do after the unit key is returned to the concierge. <br>The Eclipse is the newest high-rise condo in the area by about 2 decades. Construction is solid, with concrete columns and floors, a plus for fire safety and quiet enjoyment, not to be confused with nearby residences that are 6 stories or less, and are stick-built despite the look of their brick facades. <br> * * * * * THE AREA: Amazon and Virginia Tech are building campuses and the Eclipse is at the epicenter. Boeing and Raytheon have recently moved their headquarters here. Be sure to notice the bus stop right across 36th Street. The new Metro stop is just to the south on Potomac Avenue. We are very convenient to the W&OD bike trail that runs from Purcelville to Mount Vernon. Rent a bike right on the corner. A little-known advantage: One can walk home from Reagan National Airport in about 5 minutes. Just take the airport bus to Economy Parking Stop #12, hop over the Jersey-wall, and down the trail. Also it's an easy walk to the River or to the Potomac Yard shopping center with everything you need.
