WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE DARCY?

 

The Darcy is named for the founder of the downtown Bethesda business district - William E. Darcy, who in 1862 opened the first general store in the area, at the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Wisconsin Avenues. Mr. Darcy was also a farmer and postmaster of the area that was known as Darcy PO until Bethesda was established in 1871.  

The Darcy was built by PN Hoffman and Stonebridge Carras. Other projects that PN Hoffman and Stonebridge Carras has built include Chevy Chase Point, Chevy Chase Center, the Edgemoor Condominium, and Two Bethesda Metro Center. 

Monty Hoffman, chief executive of PN Hoffman, called the location “the corner of Main and Main.” Shops, restaurants, movie theaters and entertainment venues surround the Darcy and its neighboring high-rise apartment building, the Flats, another new PN Hoffman/StonebridgeCarras development. Restaurants and shops are opening on the ground floor in each building, adding to the diversity of choices in an abundant retail scene.

“The Darcy is in the heart of everything great about Bethesda, but we’ve designed it to be a retreat, too, with a private clubroom,” Hoffman says. “We placed the lobby entrance away from the intersection so it’s more private and quiet, and we designed the building so that most of the homes have a terrace or a small balcony.”

WHY CHOOSE THE DARCY?

The Darcy is perfect for people downsizing from Potomac and other Montgomery County suburbs.  The Darcy is perfect for people who want soft urban, seeking a small town city close to a major urban city.  The Darcy is perfect for anyone who is looking for a luxury condo with all the amenities that one would expect from a single family home. 

With just 88 units, the Darcy is small enough to get to know your neighbors.  The Darcy has a variety of  floorplans and views of downtown Bethesda, but your selection depends on what is available at any given time.  If the Darcy sounds like someplace you would like to live, please give the Lise Howe Group a call at 240-401-5577 and lets start looking!

WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR CONDO AT THE DARCY IS WORTH?

There are a number of sites on the internet that will give you 'estimates' for what your home will sell for. These sites use public records and usually some kind of algorithm to try to produce a value for your home. These sites also publicly state their 'error rates'. That means they aren't correct, they are simply an estimate based on incomplete date. We would love to do a free comparitive market analysis of your home or condo on Capitol Hill and let you know what could expect to get in today's market if you are considering selling. Our valuation is based on up to the day data for homes that have recently sold in the area. Our valuation is not based on a formula that relies on public records which can take months to update. Please visit my website in order to get your free property evaluation for your metro DC home or condo.
