4601 N Park Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 | Village of Friendship Heights
One of the largest and swankiest high-rise condo buildings in Maryland s Chevy Chase area, the Elizabeth stands 17 stories tall and is home to 363 units. Completed in 1975, the large H-shaped structure was designed in the International style that was so popular at the time, with cubist elements including rectangular balconies. A circular front drive leads up to a canopied entrance and a welcoming, fully staffed front lobby.
The Elizabeth Condominium
The Elizabeth was built during a busy period of residential expansion in the neighboring communities of Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and the Village of Friendship Heights in Maryland. These historic neighborhoods had previously been known more for single-family dwellings, but city planners were eager to capitalize on a growing population, a burgeoning science and medical corridor, and the proximity to next-door Washington, DC. In fact, the Elizabeth is just a few blocks from the DC border. Other luxury buildings in the area include the Carleton just a block away, the exclusive Somerset House which is a three-tower condominium component within the gated Parc Somerset community, and the recently completed Ritz-Carlton Chevy Chase.
More About the Elizabeth, Chevy Chase
The pet-friendly Elizabeth condominium offers a wide array of floorplans, with one, two, and three-bedroom options, some of which also include dens that can serve equally well as guest bedrooms, libraries, work-from-home offices, or media rooms. Extra-wide sliding windows were becoming increasingly popular during the mid-century period in this country and would ultimately lead the way to today's floor-to-ceiling windows. These condos originally featured hardwood parquet floors and many units still have them. But you'll also find that many of the apartments have been renovated and remodeled over the years, which has led to a variety of newer flooring materials, from tile to wide-plank wood to engineered wood. Similarly, the original walk-in kitchens, which are quite spacious, have often been opened up to the adjacent living and dining areas. It s quite common to find gourmet Euro-style kitchens in many of the units, hugging the walls and outfitted with upscale appliances. In-unit washers and dryers are standard, and the boxy private balconies are great for morning coffee, evening libations, or dining al fresco.
Residents at the perennially popular Elizabeth condominium have lots of amenities on hand, including a giant indoor heated swimming pool and sauna, both indoor and outdoor lounge areas, a terrific fitness center that rivals many paid gyms, and a party room. There is also a staffed front desk, a library, a community room, and assigned parking. There are a number of nearby community parks, as well as shopping and dining opportunities along Wisconsin Boulevard just a few blocks away. Enjoy the convenience of Whole Foods, the local Friendship Farmers Market, and upscale malls like the Collection at Chevy Chase, the Shops at Wisconsin Place, and Chevy Chase Pavilion. Neighborhood restaurants include Clyde's of Chevy Chase, Alfia's La Trattoria, Meiwah, Joy by Seven Reasons, and many others.
