Welcome to this beautifully renovated one-bedroom with balcony apartment in the prestigious Promenade Towers. The coop fee can be reduced by up to $692 annually, after applying for the Homestead Exemption. The oversized windows look out towards the elegant entrance to the building from the fourth floor, and to the delightful park in front of the entrance. The kitchen opens to the living room. In the kitchen, there are stainless appliances, to the ceiling cabinets, quartz counters, countertop lights and a new ceiling light. The living room and bedroom have wooden floors. Off the living room is the delightful balcony. There is a beautifully updated bathroom with a tiled shower (bath), and a large sink cabinet with lots of storage and a new toilet. The bedroom hosts a large walk-in closet with built-ins. There is another large closet in the foyer. Garage parking is also included with the unit and it is near the exit of the G2 level, while a second car or friends can park in the visitor lot. The building has many activities and amenities and provides a resort like experience. The recently redecorated Arcade level has a state-of-the-art fitness center with an indoor pool and hot tub: locker rooms with showers and sauna. Also in the Arcade is Chef Tony's restaurant (a well-known seafood/Italian eatery), a grocery store/deli, dry cleaners, travel agent, beauty salon, resident lounge, party and conference rooms. There is a large outdoor pool with adjacent grills. Tennis (lighted courts) and pickleball have their own building as you drive onto the property. Ping pong is played regularly, as are social activities such as "Breakfast at Wimbledon". There are too many activities to mention them all. A few are ...trivia night, open mike night, monthly fun movies, lectures, vaccinations, vote in all elections in the party room (including Presidential). There is meditation, exercise class, book club, canasta, bridge, and mahjong. There are wine and cheese get togethers in the lobby, a rocking New Year's Eve party and various other celebrations. The property also includes car charging stations, and a car washing area with a dynamite vacuum. It is also easy to get to the Red Line Medical Center metro stop at NIH/ Walter Reed as a bus comes to the front door of the Promenade every 40 minutes during the week. The location is close to 495 and 270 and the Wildwood Shopping Center which has Balduccis, CVS, Bethesda Bagels, Starbucks, several places to eat and several cute boutiques. A 24-hour Giant foods grocery store is also about a 5 minute drive away.
