The Ridge House is an 8-story, 89-unit condominium located at 1301 S. Arlington Ridge Road, Arlington, Virginia 22202.
There are 23 efficiencies, 57 one-bedrooms, 7 two-bedrooms, and two penthouses. It is located in the sought after Ridge Road neighborhood. The building has just gone through a $1.5 million dollar exterior renovation that included updating the balconies and new energy efficient balcony doors.
Amenities include landscaped grounds with picnic and barbeque facilities, an outdoor swimming pool with sundeck and fieldstone pool house, an on-site building manager, basement laundry room, locked storage space for each unit and remote-controlled entry to the building. Half of the units overlook the Capitol and Potomac River valley while the other half faces Ridge Road, the Air Force Memorial and National Cathedral. The building is within two blocks of Pentagon City Mall and the Metro. The Ridge House is 2.5 miles from Washington DC with no traffic lights to DC.
The Ridge House was built in 1964 and converted from rental to condominium apartments in 1979. The site previously was the Little Tea House restaurant that was built in the early 1920’s, offering diners incredible views of Washington DC. United States Presidents, their wives, Supreme Court Justices, ambassadors and diplomatic corps all dined here.
According to historian Eleanor Lee Templeton, “A noted columnist said that probably more important world decisions were consummated over the tables of The Little Tea House than in Washington. Over the years, one would find Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Mrs. Morgenthau at lunch, Mrs. Harding entertaining cabinet wives at tea, Chief Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes enjoying dinner. Amelia Earhart would come directly up from Hoover Airport (the present site of the Pentagon Lagoon), to discuss plans for an improved and enlarged National Airport.” The lone remaining building from The Little Tea House is the stone wellhouse in the pool area.
