description: If you have style, your home should, too! So look no further than this top-floor 2BR Plus Loft condo where city elegance combines with a park-like setting to create comfort and convenience in the heart of desirable Cleveland Park. Among the largest units to be found at McLean Gardens, this condo boasts nearly 1,300 square feet, more than 14' ceilings in the main entertaining areas, windows in every room and three substantial skylights that lend an open airy feel to this dazzling home. Designed to delight the artist within us all, this dramatic property includes vaulted ceilings, an open staircase to the second-story loft and a unique curved wall separating the dining area from the main living area. A wing unto itself, it touts three exposures (southern, western and northern) and tree-top views of the Newark Street Community Garden (located directly across the street) and the majestic National Cathedral on the horizon. Two amply sized bedrooms both feature two exposures and plush Berber carpeting. The master bedroom also offers double closets outfitted by California Closets. A world of possibilities awaits in the second-story loft. The barbell-shaped floor plan showcases custom built-in bookshelves on one end and a half-round window on the other. The two distinct spaces, which are separated by a walkway overlooking the living room and the dining below, would be perfect for use as a home office on one end and a family/guest room on the other. Unit F-462's other amenities include: 
Kenmore Heavy Duty Washer & Westinghouse Dryer conveniently
located within unit
Central Air Conditioning

McLean Gardens offers the best of both worlds -- a campus-like setting of 43 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds mere steps from all the urban amenities of the surrounding Cleveland Park neighborhood. Walk to shops, restaurants, cafes, grocery store, movie theaters, post office, and several bus stops. This wooded community is dotted with playgrounds, tennis courts, outdoor BBQs, a community vegetable/flower garden and a historic ballroom (located at 3811 Porter Street, NW) is available for rent to residents (at a reduced rate) to celebrate weddings or other special events. A huge swimming pool is available free to residents (two guest passes are provided to each resident). McLean Gardens also features parks catering exclusively to dogs and children. McLean Gardens' pet policy allows for residents to possess two pets per unit provided they are each less than 20 pounds. Alternatively, owners are allowed to have one large dog per unit. Renting is allowed for the first day of ownership (leases must be for a six-month minimum). |
