5402 Connecticut Ave NW APT 202

Welcome to your sun-filled oasis in the heart of the Chevy Chase neighborhood in DC, where charm and thoughtful upgrades come together in one beautifully curated condo. This south-facing unit is drenched in natural light throughout the fall, winter, and spring, while a mature magnolia tree provides cooling shade all summer long—keeping the space both bright and comfortable year-round. Low condo fee that includes heat. Step inside to a chef-inspired, fully custom kitchen featuring all-wood Pennsylvania Amish-made cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a counter-depth fridge with ice maker. Every detail is intentional: custom pantry storage, a built-in banquet with storage, a built-in trash and recycling cabinet, a dedicated cutting-board cabinet, custom shelving, and tons of outlets tucked neatly under the cabinets. Enjoy recessed and under-cabinet lighting, a dining area fixture, a built-in water filter faucet, and a touch-activated faucet that adds a touch of luxury. The living area showcases original 90-year-old doors restored to their natural beauty, a floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcase, a ceiling fan, and a TV mount with TV that can convey. All-new double-hung windows and the convenience of in-unit laundry added in 2021—plus storage above the laundry closet and a generous coat closet—make everyday living seamless. Retreat to the spacious bedroom, large enough to comfortably fit a king-size bed, Peloton, and home workspace. Two windows bathe the room in sunlight, and a walk-in closet with custom shelving keeps everything tidy. A ceiling fan adds year-round comfort. The bathroom has been smartly upgraded with a walk-in shower featuring a built-in stone bench, recessed lighting, a lit vanity area, a built-in medicine cabinet, extra storage above the toilet, and a clever cubby under the bench. There’s even an outlet beside the toilet—perfect for a plug-in bidet seat. Enjoy the perks of a well-maintained building, including a large private storage unit, common laundry, an exercise room, and a spacious side yard ideal for summer picnics or a relaxing evening glass of wine. Major building improvements include brand-new elevator mechanics (2024) and a new water heater (2024), with a second water heater planned for 2026. You’ll love the location—Trader Joe’s and Total Wine are a short stroll away in Friendship Heights, and incredible dining options surround you: the new BirdSong, the upcoming Wheelhouse, and beloved neighborhood staples like Bucks, Little Beast, The Parthenon, and Comet Ping Pong. And for book lovers, the original Politics and Prose is just down the street. Commuting is a breeze with a bus stop right outside the building, Friendship Heights Metro less than a mile away, and quick access to 495 via Connecticut Ave. This condo is the perfect blend of historic character, modern convenience, and unbeatable neighborhood amenities—truly a rare find.
