Description:

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Unlike any other unit in the building, unit #224 at Van Ness East has been thoughtfully reimagined with high-end finishes and custom upgrades rarely found in this price point. Every detail— from the cabinetry and lighting to the doors, flooring, and baths—reflects careful craftsmanship and a designer’s eye, offering a level of finish more commonly seen in luxury single-family homes than in typical condo living. This two-bedroom, two-bath residence with garage parking is perfectly situated in the heart of Forest Hills, offering a seamless blend of sophistication, comfort, and convenience—all just steps from the Metro, Rock Creek Park, and neighborhood favorites like Sfoglina and Breadfurst. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated chef’s kitchen featuring Wellborn custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and premium appliances: a KitchenAid gas stove with three standard burners, one super burner, and a warming drawer; a Café microwave/convection combo; a Bosch dishwasher with app-enabled controls; and a French-door LG refrigerator with automatic ice maker. Designer lighting, including under-cabinet LEDs, a sculptural S-shaped ceiling fixture, and pendant lights over the island, complete the picture. The living and dining areas flow effortlessly, enhanced by rich, dark-stained hardwood floors and a built-in modern white credenza. The private balcony overlooks the trees and is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. All interior doors have been replaced with sleek flat-panel styles and brushed nickel hardware, reinforcing the home’s cohesive modern aesthetic. Both bedrooms are spacious and serene, with custom Roman linen shades and ample storage. The second bedroom includes custom built-in cabinetry and a desk—ideal for working from home or hosting overnight guests. Both bathrooms were fully redesigned with spa-quality finishes, including walk-in showers, new sinks and toilets, and striking new tile work on the walls and floors. Additional features include plentiful closets throughout, a walk-in primary closet, and a deeded garage parking space with tandem capacity for two cars. Van Ness East is a premier full-service building offering 24-hour concierge, on-site management, and attentive maintenance staff. Residents enjoy two outdoor pools, a well-equipped fitness center, library, party room, bike storage, and laundry on each floor. Condo fees include ALL utilities (water, gas, and electric), and the building is cat-friendly. With easy access to nature trails, Metro, and an array of local shops and restaurants, this one-of-a-kind home offers the very best of city living in a peaceful, park-adjacent setting.
