2939 VAN NESS STREET NW 838, WASHINGTON, DC 20008

Description

A beautifully reimagined residence at Van Ness East, one of Forest Hills' most sought-after full-service buildings. This fully renovated 573 sq ft condo, completed in 2025, has been comprehensively transformed from the studs up, with all new electrical, walls, flooring, kitchen, and bathroom. The floor plan was redesigned with two key changes: walls were removed to create a fully open kitchen, and a new fully enclosed den was added, ideal as a second sleeping area, private office, or flexible guest space. The kitchen features quartz countertops and premium finishes throughout. The bathroom was fully retiled and outfitted with a new tub and fixtures. New hardwood floors run throughout the unit, giving the home a warm, cohesive feel. Perched on the 8th floor above the Rock Creek Park tree canopy, the unit offers a rare urban escape. No traffic, no noise, just the sight and sound of towering trees, birdsong, and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. Exceptional natural light fills the space throughout the day. Van Ness East is a premier full-service building featuring 24-hour front desk security, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, library, party room, and on-site management and maintenance staff. All utilities are included in the monthly condo fee. An exceptional opportunity for owner-occupants and investors alike. The surrounding neighborhood draws a steady demand from university students and faculty, diplomatic staff from nearby embassies, and professionals at the many cultural institutions in the area, making this an ideal rental property with strong, consistent appeal. Steps from the Van Ness UDC Red Line Metro, just 10 minutes to downtown DC by metro. Walk to Mom's Organic Market, Giant, CVS, Rock Creek Park, Soapstone Valley Park, and neighborhood favorites like Sfoglina and Bread Furst. The building is cat-friendly.
