Welcome to 1401N a magnificent apartment with amazing double exposure offering both a beautiful view of the outdoor pool as well as the view over the portico to the trees. And the garage parking space is a few short steps to the elevator lobby. This unit is large and spacious with 1215 square feet.

The apartment is notable for the very large windows in every room. The apartment floor is luxury vinyl except for the bedroom which is carpeted. Walk into the foyer where there is a huge closet. The mirror and shelf convey with the unit. The kitchen is particularly large and open.

There are granite counters on two opposing sides of the kitchen, beautiful white cabinets, stainless appliances and a refrigerator with ice maker. One of the counters is also a breakfast bar with seating. The living room leads to the oversized balcony with the wonderful pool and treed view.

There is also a built-in cabinet which could be a bar or other storage. The large bedroom has potential for track lighting, crown molding, linen closet and two clothes closets. The spacious bathroom houses a clothes closet, a sit down make up area, a large vanity and sizable walk-in shower.

There is lots of overhead lighting in the ceiling. The building has so many amenities, it lives like a resort. The lobby is in the process of a complete renovation. The recently redecorated Arcade level has the state of the art fitness center with indoor pool and hot tub: locker rooms with showers and sauna.

Also in the Arcade is Chef Tony's restaurant (a well known seafood/Italian eatery), a grocery store/deli, dry cleaners, travel agent, beauty salon, resident lounge, party and conference rooms. There is a large outdoor pool with adjacent grills. Tennis (lighted courts) and pickelball have their own building as you drive onto the property.

Ping pong is played regularly, as are social activities such as "Breakfast at Wimbleton". There are too many activities to mention them all. A few are ...trivia night, open mike night, monthly first fun movies, lectures, vaccinations, vote in all elections in the party room (including Presidential).

There is meditation, exercise class, book club, canasta, bridge, and mahjong. We have wine and cheese get togethers in the lobby, a rocking New Year's Eve party and various other celebrations. We have car charging stations, and a car washing area with a dynamite vacuum.

Garage parking comes with the unit. It is easy to get to the Red Line Medical Center metro stop at NIH/Walter Reed. The bus comes to the door of the Promenade. Close to 495 and 270. Nearby Wildwood Shopping Center has Balduccis, CVS, Bethesda Bagels, Starbucks, a number of places to eat and several cute boutiques. Giant food is just across the street.
