GREAT OPPORTUNITY! URBAN LIVING AT ITS FINEST! Enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Rockville and beyond from the wraparound balcony of this fantastic end-unit penthouse in the 12-year-young Midtown Bethesda North Condos, set in the heart of Rockville just a couple blocks to Twinbrook Metro Station. With condo amenities including a full gym, Internet cafe, conference room, movie theater, rooftop pool and clubhouse, and shopping and dining venues within walking distance, living in the well-appointed spaces throughout this 2,059-square-foot unit truly is the best of both worlds! An expansive, posh lobby with 24/7 front-desk security greets visitors. Many amenities and conveniences are on this level: conversational areas, a library, a coffee bar, wifi and the well-equipped gym. Take the elevator to the 18th floor, and a well-lit, carpeted hallway leads to Unit 1810. The oversized front door opens into a gracious foyer with a chandelier, a large coat closet and luxury wood laminate flooring that extends throughout the condo. A powder room with a pedestal sink and elegant wallpaper sits conveniently in the entry hall. To the right, the living/dining room combination wows with two sets of oversized sliding glass doors offering northern and eastern exposure. On most days, Sugarloaf Mountain can be seen via the sliders or off the balcony. Imagine morning coffee or a glass of wine in evenings while taking in Rockville and beyond!A marble-surround gas fireplace with a mantel also highlights the living room, while the dining room features crown molding, chair rail and an impressive chandelier. Designer wall sconces grace the walls and halls throughout the penthouse. A granite-top peninsula, with a decorative foil paint base, separates the living room and gourmet kitchen, equipped with custom Italian cabinetry and upscale stainless-steel appliances. The appliances include an oversized LG refrigerator and GE Monogram 5-burner gas stove, vent hood, convection wall oven, speed cook microwave and a warming oven. The peninsula has a deep sink, and the backsplash is also granite. An attached breakfast nook has a wall of built-ins, stenciled paint walls and a large window facing north. All windows in the condo stretch all the way to the 10-foot ceilings for unobstructed views of the urban landscape. A short hall off of the dining room contains a pantry and the laundry room. The latter has LG front-loading washer/dryer, white cabinets and a pair of crystal-like chandeliers. Across the hall, a study/home office features a wall of built-ins, a closet and a large window. This space can easily serve as a third bedroom if needed, by adding a pocket door. The owner's suite takes up the end of this wing: the bedroom offers crown molding, a large window and a huge walk-in closet. A linen closet sits right outside the owner's bath, which features an expansive cultured marble-top double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower with built-in bench and multiple shower heads (including a rain shower), and a dressing area. The floors are ceramic tiles, and there's nice detailed tile work in the shower. Bedroom 2 is on the other side of the entry hall, and has mirrored sliding closets, a large window and an en-suite bath that features a granite-top vanity, white cabinets and a jetted tub/shower combination. Light-grey faux paint walls add a nice touch! Another storage/linen closet sits just outside the hall -- rounding out the expansive penthouse. Two parking spaces are assigned, and additional on-site storage space comes with the unit.
