You Want to Live Here Because It's Quiet and Set in Green Space!
Face it - Bethesda is getting to be a big little city. The intersection of Bethesda and Woodmont Avenues has been transformed in the last few years from a quiet little area with a surface parking lot or two and a Barnes and Noble into a community with luxury high rise condos, a park, trendy stores and upscale restaurants. Bethesda has gone high end! It is a great place to shop and dine, but for many people it is overwhelming as a place to live. Some residents long for the “good old days” when Bethesda was a little quieter and we still had the three story Barnes and Noble rather than a tiny Amazon bookstore.

Sussex House is a Classic Mid Century Modern Building
Sussex House is a small condo community with only 54 units on six floors. There is lots of surface 
parking available for the residents. There are a variety of units in Sussex House, including 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom floor plans. Sussex House was built in 1974 so it is solidly built and very functional. You can expect large rooms with floor to ceiling windows in the living rooms and parquet floors through out. Unless the bathrooms have been redone, they have ceramic tile floors and traditional vanities. Many of the kitchens have been remodeled so granite countertops and stainless steel appliances are common. To see what is available right now at Sussex House, click here.

PET FRIENDLY?
My favorite question or amenity is whether a condominium is pet friendly or not. This one is definitely pet friendly! Fido will enjoy it here and will think the park next door is picture perfect!
