Welcome to the Westchester, one of Washington's storied cooperative communities that is prominently featured in the book "Best Addresses", James Goode's history of the city's most historic and architecturally significant apartment houses. With stunning Art-Deco details; gracious public spaces that were originally designed by the legendary New York-based designer Dorothy Draper; and lovely, manicured common grounds where Member-Owners can relax and enjoy beautiful natural surroundings, the Westchester is a quiet oasis in the city and an elegant place to call home. Apartment 126-B is a large 1-Bedroom/1-Bath unit that will afford a buyer with an opportunity to creatively modernize and restore the space qaccording to their personal tastes and design ideas, and it is priced to refect the unit's current condition. It features high ceilings, recently-refinished hardwood (parquet) floors, a large Living Room, a separate Dining Area and an extra-large Bedroom with a walk-in closet. The monthly coop fee includes Property Tax, utilities, landscaping and grounds maintenance, and 24/7 security personnel. Amenities at the Westchester include: a Concierge desk, the Westchester Market (well-stocked and includes a Deli), a full-service Beauty Salon and Barber Shop, a Valet for dry cleaning and full alteration service, Guest Suites that are available for rent on a nightly basis, a Fitness Center, a Library, onsite parking, a Service Department to assist residents with porterage and minor in-unit maintenance requests, and DeCarlo's Italian Restaurant.
