Adagio

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? 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 

There are 92 units at the Adagio ranging in size from  809 square feet up to 3500 square feet.  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 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 are Rich with 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! 

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.
