Description

If you looking for instant community where neighbors genuinely care about one another, as well as come together to keep the condominium wheels greased and running smoothly, then the co-housing concept may be for you! In the spirit of working together, the seller is open to helping with closing costs or helping to buy down a purchaser's interest rates. Welcome to this spotless, freshly painted unit in the vibrant Eastern Village Co-Housing Condominium that prides itself on never having needed a special assessment! In 2005, this was one of the first LEED Silver certified residential buildings in the area. With two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a half bathroom, multiple closets plus built-ins, it has plenty of space in which to live comfortably. Being on the second floor and southwest facing, Unit 219 gets nice natural light. The floor plan is open with ample room for entertaining. The kitchen is modern and in wonderful condition, with quartz counters and gas cooking. Unlike many units in the community, this one has its own washer and dryer. It also has two assigned planters outside the unit on the common balcony for herbs, flowers, etc.

The condo fee for this unit is $665.84 per month and includes gas, water/sewer, hot water, basic Wi-Fi, free laundry, professional management, common area maintenance and use of the many common area amenities. Owners only pay electricity for their individual units. While basic Wi-Fi is provided, unit owners also have the right to purchase their own cable/internet based on their needs. The community has a geothermal system built below the common courtyard that supplements the heating and cooling needs of the individual units so that the in-unit heat pumps work more efficiently. Amenities include an expansive walkable green roof with a covered gazebo, playground, bike storage shells, an area to air-dry clothing and a stunning view. There are “share closets” where residents can store items that they are willing to share with other residents like car racks for bicycles, vacuum cleaners, luggage, ladders, etc. In addition to the bicycle storage shells on the roof, there are other areas in the building designated for bicycle storage. There is a community kitchen and seating area for large gatherings, a common living room with a fireplace and big-screen TV, a teen gathering/game room, a kid’s playroom, a fitness room, a crafting/woodworking room, a library/music room and a computer room. Additionally, Eastern Village has guest suites that can be rented for $20/night for visiting family and friends.

A big plus for this condo is its proximity to the Silver Spring Metro ( 4 blocks) and all the grocery stores, restaurants, bars, gyms and shopping options nearby. Street parking is available and the Montgomery County Parking Garage immediately adjacent to Eastern Village provides discounted monthly rates to Eastern Village residents. OPEN SUN 6/14, 1-3pm
