About This Home

As of January 2025

This truly stunning lofted unit in the highly sought-after Rock Creek Gardens community is a rare gem. With vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a functional wood-burning fireplace, this home offers a unique blend of charm and modern convenience. The living room and bedroom feature custom-built bookcases and cabinets, adding both elegance and practicality. Freshly painted from top to bottom, this condo is completely turnkey and ready for its next owner. The expansive main living area provides plenty of room for a generous seating arrangement and a dining area that accommodates 4–6 people, all set below the striking vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is a standout with its beautiful wood shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The expansive loft is a versatile space that can serve as a second bedroom, primary suite, guest area, home office, or additional living space. The home is flooded with natural light throughout, has in-unit laundry for added convenience, and boasts gleaming hardwood floors on the main level, with brand-new carpeting on the stairs and loft. Rock Creek Gardens is perfectly situated at the intersection of Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, and NW DC, offering the ideal combination of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. Nature lovers will appreciate being steps from Rock Creek Park, while commuters will love the proximity to Metro—just one mile away—and the soon-to-arrive Purple Line. Convenient bus service to Friendship Heights and downtown Silver Spring makes getting around a breeze. Local amenities are plentiful, including neighborhood favorites such as Parkway Deli, Daily Dish Café, and Rock Creek Sports Club, along with a grocery store, pharmacy, and Chinese takeout just moments away. Residents of Rock Creek Gardens enjoy exclusive access to the community’s outdoor pool and benefit from on-site property management. This lofted unit stands out not only for its design but also for its location within the community. Positioned on the second floor at the back of the building, it offers privacy and serene views of the beautifully maintained grounds, rather than the parking lot. Tandem parking right out front allows for two cars with one permit, ensuring easy access without long walks through the community to reach your door. Lovingly cared for by its current owner for over 35 years, this home is truly a hidden treasure. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind condo in an idyllic and highly sought-after community.
