Property Description
Take a stroll outside and enjoy the beautifully manicured grounds, lovely gardens, charming brick and stone walkways, a central sunken fountain, and the porte-cochère at the front of the main building—it's all a feast for the eyes!
Apartment 516B is located in the heart of the building and offers a generous 1,350 square feet of space with 9-foot ceilings and northern-western exposure that bathes the apartment in natural light and provides lovely views of Rock Creek. This inviting two-bedroom, one-bath apartment features a full kitchen adorned with crown molding, mostly stainless steel appliances, granite countertops with an undermount stainless sink, and natural gas cooking. There's plenty of storage in the tall cabinets, conveniently located next to the dining room.
The bright and spacious living room features built-in bookcases and plantation shutters, creating a gracious flow to the foyer and hallway leading to two roomy bedrooms, each with large closets. Nestled between the bedrooms is a full bath, showcasing classic black and white Art Deco tile, a tub/shower combo, a vanity, and a window that lets in plenty of light.
Fun fact: this unit was originally a one-bedroom, but over the years, it was transformed to include a second bedroom by connecting with unit 517B. You can see the previous door on the floor plans, which are available upon request or during your visit!
The Westchester boasts great amenities, including a market grocery store, a beauty parlor, a fitness center, dry cleaning services, and the wonderful DeCarlo's Restaurant, where you can enjoy weekend valet service between the north and south main buildings. All of the buildings at 4000 Cathedral Ave. are connected by underground hallways, making it super convenient to get around, no matter the weather. Plus, there's an underground reserved parking garage, extra storage options, and guest rooms available for friends and family visiting you!
You can even purchase units together, as they connect to 517 and 518B, and we have estimates available for merging them. If you'd like to add a washer and dryer to your apartment, that's possible too! Just keep in mind there's an application process for that.
For coop mortgage approval, you'll need a minimum of 15% down, and we can provide a list of approved lenders if you need it. Feel free to reach out to the listing agent with any questions you may have or to set up a time for a showing. We can't wait to help you find your dream home!
