The Westchester, #830-B

Observatory Circle, Washington, DC 20016

PRICE IMPROVED!! Welcome to the Westchester, one of Washington's storied cooperative communities that is prominently featured in the book "Best Addresses", James Goode's history of the city's most historic and architecturally significant apartment houses. With stunning Art-Deco details; gracious public spaces that were originally designed by the legendary Dorothy Draper; and lovely, manicured common grounds where Member-Owners can relax and enjoy beautiful natural surroundings, the Westchester is a quiet oasis in the city and an elegant place to call home. Apartment 830/831-B was created from the combination of two lovely one-bedroom units, resulting in this gorgeous two-bedroom/two-bath home of almost 2,000 square feet that is the perfect residence for work, relaxation and elegant entertainment. The apartment's unique layout, with two separate Bedroom Suites at opposite ends of the unit, allows for maximum privacy and is perfect for those who may wish to work at home or desire separate private quarters within the home to accommodate Guests or a live-in Housekeeper or Caregiver. The Kitchen was exquisitely renovated in 2023 with top-of-the-line appliances, and a laundry room was added that features a large washer and dryer. The apartment offers high ceilings, pristine parquet floors, and spectacular views to the south and west over the treetops of Glover-Archbold Park. The monthly coop fee includes Property Tax, utilities, landscaping and grounds maintenance, 24/7 security personnel, and a Service Department to assist with porterage and minor in-unit maintenance requests. Amenities at the Westchester include: a Concierge desk, the Westchester Market (well-stocked and includes a Deli), a full-service Beauty Salon and Barber Shop, a Valet for dry cleaning and full alteration service, Guest Suites that are available for rent on a nightly basis, a Fitness Center, a Library, onsite parking, and DeCarlo's Italian Restaurant. The Westchester is only a few blocks from Cathedral Commons , where you will find Giant, CVS, Starbucks, and top-flight restaurants including Two Amys, La Piquette, Raku, Barcelona, Heritage India, and Cactus Cantina. At nearby Foxhall Square, you will find: Chef Geoff's, Al Dente, Wagshal's, medical offices and Voorthuis Opticians. Metro Bus service to downtown DC is available on Cathedral Avenue at the front entrance to the property, and to Georgetown and Chevy Chase along Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues, three blocks away.
