Welcome to this gorgeous and spacious 1 bedroom/large den in the heart of Bethesda at the luxurious Promenade Towers. This end unit corner apartment has oversized windows with panoramic views. The enlarged balcony offers spectacular views and plenty of space to sit and enjoy them. The foyer has a large closet with mirrored doors. The large living room has handsome track lighting. The plank wood floors throughout are less than 2 years old. There is a gracious pass through from the kitchen to the living room with a granite counter. The gourmet kitchen, which has plenty of room for a table and chairs, has recent upgrades such as the refrigerator, stove, and to-the-ceiling white cabinets. The apartment is on the corner of the building and has plenty of oversized windows and 2 exposures affording great panoramic views. The balcony is also particularly large with lots of room for comfy chairs and and a dining table. The den was once the dining room and is now used as a den or second bedroom. It has a ceiling fan and southern and western views. The large bedroom has a huge walk-in closet. Like the balcony, the bathroom is larger than standard with a beautiful vanity which provides lots of storage. The building has so many activities and amenities, it lives like a resort. The recently redecorated Arcade level has the state of the art fitness center with 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 pickelball have their own building as you drive onto the property. Ping pong is played regularly, as are social activities such as "Breakfast at Wimbleton"'. There are too many activities to mention them all. A few are ...trivia night, open mike night, monthly first 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. We have wine and cheese get togethers in the lobby, a rocking New Year's Eve party and various other celebrations. We have car charging stations, and a car washing area with a dynamite vacuum. Garage parking comes with the unit. It is easy to get to the Red Line Medical Center metro stop at NIH/ Walter Reed. The bus comes to the door of the Promenade. Close to 495 and 270. Nearby Wildwood Shopping Center has Balduccis, CVS, Bethesda Bagels, Starbucks, a number of places to eat and several cute boutiques. Giant food is just across the street.
