5410 Connecticut Ave Nw #717

Apt 717 is situated on an inside corner offering an ‘L’ shaped apartment giving the bedroom nice privacy and the apartment a great feeling of space. The kitchen is mostly original but perfectly livable – this great price allows you to put your own stamp on it - or not. The bath is updated, and the entire unit has just been meticulously repainted. A fantastic opportunity.***“Between the extremes of downtown and suburb, upper Connecticut Avenue is a very livable middle ground” said the original sales literature in 1978 - it couldn’t be truer almost 50 years later. And that was before Friendship Metro existed, which is just 7/10ths of a mile away. The development of Friendship Heights would take a separate brochure but Bloomies, Wholefoods, Clyde’s are just the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, the seven blocks between the Garfield and Chevy Chase Circle could be considered its own little village - a Safeway, an Exxon, a post office, Starbucks, restaurants, a community center, and library. 8 blocks south of the building is another wonderful collection of commerce including the iconic Politics and Prose, Call Your Mother bagels, a CVS, more restaurants and 2 gas stations. Going east provides easy access to Rock Creek Park and all it offers. Middle ground? More like the center of the world!***This well-run, long-established, professionally managed condo offers 24-hour desk service, a fabulous lobby level bright multi-purpose party/conference/mini home theater - complete with kitchen & bath, a smart nicely equipped exercise room, and an exceptionally nice modern roof deck. There are luggage rooms on each floor and bike racks in the garage.
