Welcome to this bright, open one-bedroom home at The Promenade. An open layout and large windows fill the space with natural light, and a spacious private... balcony looks out over lush green treetops for a calm, leafy setting high above it all. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring runs throughout the home for an easy, cohesive feel. The kitchen offers speckled stone-look countertops, white cabinetry, a gas range, dishwasher, and a dedicated pantry closet for extra storage. An in-unit washer and dryer adds everyday convenience you won't find in every unit. The generous bedroom comfortably fits a king-size set and includes its own walk-in closet, with large windows that carry the same green views. The renovated bathroom feels like a retreat, with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower in marble-look tile, a mosaic accent band, and a sleek modern floating vanity. The Promenade offers resort-style amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, 7 tennis courts, pickleball, a racquet club house, and a state-of-the-art exercise and fitness center complete with an indoor pool, sauna, lockers, and hot tub. The building also provides outstanding conveniences with a 24-hour security gate house, front desk service, and a remodeled arcade with a variety of stores. Additional on-site services include a convenience store, dry cleaners, package room, beauty salon, party and game room, and travel agency. Tucked into the Pooks Hill area just off Rockville Pike, the location offers quick access to I-270 and I-495 and is close to shopping, dining, NIH, and Walter Reed, with downtown Bethesda just a short drive away.
