About This Property
Welcome to this beautifully renovated ground-floor 2-bedroom, 1 full bath condominium, offering the perfect combination of modern upgrades, convenience, and exceptional outdoor living. One of the home's most desirable features is its walk-out access to a large, open grassy yard, ideal for pet owners, outdoor relaxation, gardening, or simply enjoying green space rarely found in condominium living. Ground-floor units are among the most sought-after homes in a community because they provide easy access to outdoor spac without climbing multiple flights of stairs. After descending just one short flight of approximately 10 steps from the parking area, you can walk directly into the home, making groceries and everyday living especially convenient while enjoying the feel of your own backyard. The private patio is another standout feature. Surrounded by mature landscaping, it offers an enclosed, secluded setting perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or relaxing with family and friends. Framing the patio are two of the largest and most beautiful crape myrtle trees in the Bethesda area, providing spectacular blooms, welcome shade, and vibrant seasonal color. Located in a pet-friendly community with highly regarded schools, the home is also exceptionally convenient. Laundry facilities are just a few steps away, approximately 15 feet from the unit, and the community trash area is also nearby. The unit includes its own private storage room for seasonal items, bicycles, sporting equipment, and more. Thoughtfully renovated in both 2017 and 2026, the home blends quality craftsmanship with timeless design. The kitchen was redesigned with an attractive breakfast bar and pass-through opening to the living area, creating a bright, open-concept layout that enhances natural light and is perfect for entertaining. Addition upgrades include granite countertops, a new tile floor, stainless steel appliances, and modern lighting throughout. One of the home's signature features is its premium flooring. Wide-plank white oak hardwood was installed throughout the living areas and bedrooms, with tile in the kitchen and bath. The white oak's natural matte finish creates a warm, inviting atmosphere while maintaining the clean, contemporary aesthetic today's buyers love. The new flooring was installed over the original hardwood to provide enhanced sound insulation between units while preserving the beauty and durability of genuine hardwood. The flooring upgrade alone represented an investment of more than $18,000. The interior has been freshly painted with premium Sherwin-Williams paint, significantly brightening the home and creating a fresh, sophisticated feel throughout. Brand-new, energy-efficient windows are currently being installed, adding even more comfort, efficiency, and long-term value. The comprehensive HOA fee provides exceptional value by including heating, air conditioning, water, sewer, snow removal, professional landscaping, exterior building maintenance, roof maintenance and replacement, plus access to the community pool. With so many major expenses already covered homeowners enjoy simplified living with fewer unexpected maintenance costs. With more than $40,000 in renovations, this exceptional home combines timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, abundant outdoor living, and one of the community's most desirable ground-floor locations. From the private patio beneath magnificent crape myrtles, to the open-concept kitchen, premium white oak flooring, expansive walk-out lawn, excellent schools, pet-friendly surroundings, and extensive HOA benefits, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly move-in-ready home offering comfort, convenience, and lasting value.
