Bethesda, MD 20815

Are you ready to downsize from your big family house? Celebrate your status as an empty nester in a luxurious condo in Bethesda!  Tired of driving everywhere? Do you want to spend your weekends travelling to museums and wineries instead of spending your Saturdays cutting the grass and cleaning the gutters? Bethesda has lots of spacious condos that are a perfect fit.  Find similar condos for sale to the The Adagio Condominiums Bethesda Md

Get the value of your Bethesda or Chevy Chase home or condo in today's market so that you can start planning your move to a Bethesda condo.

Are you looking for a great contemporary condo with a urban location and a suburban feel? Do you want to leave your car in the garage and walk everywhere? Are you moving to Bethesda to work at the new Marriott Headquarters or Walter Reed? 

Don't like to cook? Bethesda has been named the town with more restaurants per capita than any other town in the United States. Bike or walk the Capital Crescent Trail which runs from Bethesda Md to Georgetown in Washington DC? If this sounds like what you are looking for, then you should start and end your search at The Adagio Condominiums.  The Adagio is pet friendly and does not have a weight limit.  In fact, I had friends who lived there with two German shepherds! 

 The Adagio Units are Open and Contemporary 

You have lots of choices in Bethesda among the newer condo buildings.There is the Darch, which is a few years old and the Stonehall, the Lauren, and the Cheval, all completed since 2018.  Why pick the Adagio? Its location at the intersection of Bradley and Wisconsin Avenue is one great reason. The Adagio was built in 2006 and its glass walls and large balconies provided a welcome change from the traditional condominium buildings that Washington and Bethesda had seen before. There are no other tall buildings nearby so you have exceptionally good views from the rooms and balconies at the Adagio.

There are 92 units at the Adagio ranging in size from  809 square feet up to 3500 square feet.   There are several floorplans ranging from a one bedroom one bath condo (809 square feet) to a one bedroom plus den with two full baths (900 square feet) to a two bedroom plus den and two and a half bath condo with 1300 square feet - and then the largest with the 3500 square feet. Many of the condos have balconies or terraces with some looking out on the street life of Wisconsin Avenue and others looking out over the green space of Bethesda and the Capital Crescent Trail.  Some special units offer loft style upper levels with 14 foot ceilings, while others are two stories with private terraces. Standard finishes include walnut hardwood floors, Poggenpohl cabinets, Miele, Bosch and Sub-Zero stainless appliances and marble baths.

 

The Adagio Condos Offer Lots of Amenities

 

The Adagio seems to be filled with people who want that soft urban lifestyle and appreciate the "finer things in life."  The Adagio offers 24 hour security and a concierge front desk, a fitness center, guest suite, an outdoor terrace and garden area on the second floor, free visitor parking available through the concierge, and open well-lit hallways. Some high end services include laundry pick up and delivery, on site management and a building engineer, a personal trainer in the gym, and a party room on the penthouse level.  The condo fees range from approximately $500 a month for the smallest units to about $1100 a month for the larger condos. The Adagio is very pet friendly, allowing large dogs - and more than one of them!  To see what is for sale at the Adagio now, if there is anything on the market, just click here.

Living in Bethesda Md

Just outside the Adagio you will find everything you need!  Are you a movie buff? No problem - Bethesda Row offers the multiplex approach for independent films.  Don't like to cook? Bethesda has been named the town with more restaurants per capita than any other town in the United States. Whether you want to go to Nando Nando Peri for grilled chicken or the Mussel Bar for Belgian beer, there is a restaurant to match your taste buds!

When you do want to stay in and cook, the ingredients for your gourmet meal can come from Trader Joe's across the street or the Safeway on Bradley, just two blocks away.  Your favorite pet will never go hungry! There is a Pet Smart in the lower level of the building next door and a Staples too! 

Shopping? No problem! From the makeup at Blue Mercury with its great collection of Laura Mercier and Bobby Brown to the well priced and every changing clothing at Francesca's and the men's collection at Bonobo's, there is something for everyone! North Face and LuluLemon have stores on Bethesda Avenue, while you shouldn't miss Lucy's in Bethesda Row for sports wear too.  Don't miss the competition between Georgetown Cupcakes and Fancy Cakes by Leslie for the best cupcake in Bethesda.

What is the Value of Your Bethesda Condo?

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 comparative market analysis of your home or condo in Bethesda and let you know what you can expect. Our valuation is based on up to the moment 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 Bethesda home or condo.

Just give the Lise Howe Group a call at 240-401-5577 or email us at Lise@lisehowe.com.  Whether you are buying or selling, put the Bethesda Condo Queen to work for you!
