Both bedroom suites feature spacious walk-in closets, remote-controlled ceiling fans, and updated bathrooms with either a tub and shower combo or a walk-in shower. Modern chrome fixtures and timeless black-and-white ceramic tiles add to the bathroom’s elegance.

This exceptional residence combines panoramic views, elegant details, and thoughtful updates—truly a special place in NW Washington.

Situated on nearly 10 acres, the Westchester Co-op was built during the Great Depression & completed in 1931. As noted in many publications, it has extraordinary Art Deco classic features. You will be mesmerized by its charm of yesteryear and memories influenced by the roaring twenties, such as its metal-etched elevator doors, elegant archways, and plastered moldings. Notice the beautifully manicured grounds, gardens, brick and stone walkways, a center sunken fountain, and a Porte cochere in front of the main building. The Westchester boasts great amenities, including a market grocery store, a beauty parlor, a barber shop, a fitness center(in the process of a renovation update), dry cleaning/Valet service.
