Calling all Newbies, Retirees and Empty Nesters

Property: 600 square foot, 1 bedroom 1 bath renovated condo at McLean House

 Location: Fleetwood Road at Beverly Road

Price: $249,000, condo fee $285 per month

We’ve all heard rumblings of a recession but one luxurious, hot, renovated property in McLean House ensures that the buyer lives well yet at an affordable price. 

New York and McLean are very different places, but think about what natural foods chef Bethenny Frankel of Bravo TV’s ostentatious “Real Housewives of New York” would pay for a similar unit on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Here’s a little hint: The other cast member’s larger condo units average from $2-4 million dollars.

So while McLean is not Manhattan it is recognized as one of the more tony areas in metropolitan Washington, and when was the last time anyone noticed anything more than an a studio condo selling for $250k in the city?

Now, about your amenities in this third floor McLean House beauty: Dishwasher, Disposal, Microwave, Oven/Range-Electric, Refrigerator, Washer/Dryer are in the unit.

The community amenities include: Basketball Courts, Beauty Salon, Community Laundry Room, Common Grounds, Concierge, Elevator, Newly Updated Exercise Room, Extra Storage, Party Room, Outdoor Pool, Sauna, and Tennis Courts.
 

A side note: this property does not allow doggies, but cats and birds are just fine.
