A rare opportunity at The Elizabeth: two residences thoughtfully combined and extensively renovated to create an approximately 2,203-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-full-bath home that feels far removed from a conventional condominium floor plan. Open, sunlit and architecturally distinctive, this custom residence offers expansive living spaces, unusually generous storage, two private outdoor spaces and separate bedroom wings that provide both openness and privacy.

The home’s broad interior sightlines, abundant windows and flowing arrangement of living, dining, library and sitting spaces create a sense of space that is immediately apparent upon entering. Rich hardwood floors, custom built-ins, recessed and specialty lighting, and carefully considered architectural details give the residence the character of a custom home rather than two apartments joined together.

At the center of the home is an expansive living and entertaining area designed for both everyday comfort and larger gatherings. The generously proportioned living room opens naturally to the dining area and adjoining sitting and library spaces, while walls of built-in bookcases add warmth, function and architectural interest. A private covered patio extends the living space outdoors. The dining area includes an exceptionally long concealed storage closet, one of many examples of the thoughtful use of space throughout the residence.

The architect-designed kitchen is equally distinctive, with extensive custom cabinetry, abundant counter and storage space, sophisticated lighting and a clean, contemporary layout that remains connected to the surrounding living areas. Appliances include a new Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher and a 36-inch KitchenAid electric cooktop and oven.

The floor plan provides an unusual degree of separation between sleeping areas. The expansive primary suite occupies its own wing and functions almost as a private apartment within the home. In addition to the bedroom, it includes a large den or sitting room, custom built-in cabinetry and bookcases, two substantial walk-in closets, and a spacious ensuite bath with double vanity, extensive storage, walk-in shower and new Kohler walk-in jetted tub.

On the opposite side of the residence, the second bedroom includes its own ensuite bath with tub/shower combination, walk-in closet, built-in storage and a new Bosch stacked washer and dryer. The third bedroom is a bright corner room with windows on two sides and two closets. A third full bath with walk-in shower is located just across the hall, together with another large walk-in storage closet with built-in shelving.

The amount of storage throughout the residence is exceptional for condominium living, with multiple walk-in closets, custom cabinetry, built-in bookcases, concealed storage and additional common storage in the building.

Two assigned underground parking spaces further distinguish the property.

The Elizabeth offers 24-hour concierge service, an indoor swimming pool, fitness center and a collection of convenient on-site businesses and services. Recently renovated common areas provide an attractive introduction to the building. The condominium fee includes all utilities except internet.

All of this is just blocks from Friendship Heights Metro, Whole Foods Market, the Village of Friendship Heights community center and farmers market, shopping, dining and neighborhood conveniences.

For buyers who want the ease of condominium living but do not want to feel confined by a traditional condominium layout, this is something quite different: a spacious, light-filled, custom-designed residence offering the scale, privacy and storage of a much larger home in one of Chevy Chase’s most convenient locations.
