Kenwood House 5100 Dorset Ave Unit 414 Floor 4 Chevy Chase, MD 20815

It is rare to find a home in Chevy Chase MD that delivers the trifecta of the most sought-after features of space, convenience, and affordability. Just such a home exists at the Kenwood House, a Mid-Century Modern cooperative that delivers all this and more. Welcome to unit #414, a spacious, exceptionally bright, updated, and rarely available corner unit with 1300 sf, 2 large bedrooms, 2 full baths, a spacious balcony overlooking trees and open spaces, and covered parking. Looking to downsize to have the convenience of lock-the-door-and-go living, but want to stay close to all the amenities of Chevy Chase and Downtown Bethesda? Or perhaps you're looking to move in bounds to the highly-rated Montgomery County schools (this address is zoned to Bethesda-Chevy Chase HS, Westland MS, and Westbrook ES). Or maybe you just want a home that is move-in ready and offers every convenience and amenity, all for less than a comparable home would cost in the same zip code.

As you arrive at the Kenwood House, you will first be struck by how well cared for and welcoming this community is, with its lush flowering landscaping, its community outdoor gathering area with grills and seating (the site of frequent gatherings and community happy hours), its well maintained facade, and its recently refreshed entry lobby. This delightful first impression continues as you enter Unit #414. The practical entry foyer with its ample storage gives way to the dreamy and expansive living and dining spaces that will take your breath away with the gleaming parquet wood floors throughout and huge windows offering up views of open spaces and trees. Updates abound throughout this exceptionally well laid-out unit, from the kitchen (with granite counters, stylish backsplash, ample cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances), to the bathrooms (fully updated primary bath and updates to the hall bath), to the upgraded interior doors and new baseboards, and to the custom, high-end top-down/bottom-up blinds installed in each room.

The building offers desired conveniences and amenities including on-site management, a large bonus storage unit, modern laundry facilities, EV charging stations, plans for more green improvements (solar roof), dedicated garage parking plus ample guest parking. All of this, along with your utilities (electric, water, heat and air conditioning) and real estate taxes, are covered in the monthly fee. Plus, did you know that you don't pay transfer and recordation taxes when buying a coop in Maryland? That means far lower closing costs.

If more enticement is needed, this home is superbly located at the entry to Kenwood neighborhood, with its famous cherry trees lining each street. The building sits alongside the Capital Crescent Trail (connecting Downtown Bethesda all the way to Georgetown), perfect for strolls, jogs, and bike rides. All of this natural beauty still allows for quick access to commuter routes, shopping (Whole Foods is only a couple blocks away), endless dining venues, and parks and recreational facilities (Bethesda pool is only a few blocks away). There really is nothing left off of your "must have" list.

This home is not to be missed.
