2939 Van Ness St NW Unit 608 Washington, DC 20008

THE UNIT VNE 608 offers a unique combination of tradition, space utilization, & convenience. Hardwood floors, wood cabinets in the kitchen & bath, & even light switches & electrical outlets convey a sense of woodsy hominess. The 4 closets have all been updated to modular systems which allow you to add, delete, or move shelves however you like, which enables you to optimize the use of space in each closet. The location of VNE 608 makes it 1 of the most convenient in the building. It’s on the 6th floor, which is the same floor as the lobby & exterior doors. The unit is just steps away from the south entrance/exit. The attached parking space is only steps away from the door downstairs. The unit offers a beautiful view of Soapstone Valley Park, an offshoot of Rock Creek Park from both living room & bedroom. The northern exposure allows you to see the beautiful sunlight over the woods outside the window without being overheated by the sun shining into the unit. All of the light fixtures are new. Bedroom The bedroom leaves the sights & sounds of the city outside. Abutting the park leaves natural silence @ night. The horizontal aluminum blinds combined with the dark curtains create an almost pitch black room which creates “good sleepin’ weather” every night. You can even calibrate the most comfortable temperature with the new digital thermostat. The huge 160 ft - 3 closet optimizes space with easily adjustable shelving. Kitchen Everything in the kitchen is new since 2019: Frigidaire refrigerator, Amana dishwasher, Whirlpool gas stove/range, In-sink-erator garbage disposal, & (Chinese) microwave, oak cabinets, quartz countertops, & under cabinet lighting.
