Description

WATCH THE VIDEOS! Walkable to metro, Americana Centre's condo in Building 118, #510/511 offers unique options for future owners. As a combined two- bedroom, two-bath unit PLUS a studio unit, the space commandeers the entire southwest corner of the building, offering two or three bedrooms, two kitchens, three bathrooms, three walk-in closets, three storage closets and two linen closets for a total of almost 2,000 square feet on one level. This unique set-up offers you a variety of lifestyle options, from using the studio as a "great room" area; as an-in-law suite or as an income unit (which rented for $1,650/month in 2024). The units were previously connected through the 2/2 dining room with french doors. These high-rise condos were originally built as "luxury" units in terms of space. In addition to an expansive living room, the 2/2 offers a separate, dedicated dining room. The original galley kitchen has subsequently been opened to the living room to allow light into the kitchen. The kitchens in both units have been renovated with quality hardwood maple "Jim Bishop" Brand cabinets and granite counters. Interior lights in the cabinets allowed display lighting. Dimmers are installed throughout. Both kitchens include a bar counter. The 2/2 kitchen includes dedicated pantry storage and an appliance garage. The majority of closets have been fitted with Elfa Shelving. The original, mid-century modern parquet flooring has been lovingly maintained and protected with wall-to-wall carpet for the majority of existence. Crown molding was installed in the living areas of the 2/2 and the Studio, as well as enhanced 4" baseboard molding. Americana Centre meets the location and lifestyle desired by so many. Enjoy walkable access to transportation, restaurants, shopping, municipal resources and numerous parks. Free yourself of shoveling snow, raking leaves or mowing a lawn. Have peace of mind with an on-site, beloved maintenance staff who can replace a disposal, fix a light or correct a leaky toilet while you focus on your priorities. Americana Centre has a full-time on-site engineering staff, available for minor maintenance requests, including electrical and plumbing repairs, at a cost of $50/hour. Americana Centre has a 24/7 concierge desk that welcomes/registers your guest's cars and accepts and registers your inbound packages. This service is included in your condo fee and there's no fee for inbound packages, unlike some communities that charge for this service. With concrete slab and brick construction, these unit are very quiet. Two parking spaces convey with the units; one of which is in the underground garage. These parking spaces are not deeded, but each unit has a dedicated parking space. Storage rooms are available in the basement of the building, as they become available. Guest parking is available on-site. The community is preparing to renovate the hallways with new carpeting, herringbone LVT in front of the elevators, wallpaper and benches. The community will launch a new website in summer 2025. In 2019, the community took out a $24.5 million loan to upgrade the community infrastructure, including the central plant (chillers, boilers, cooling tower, roofing, etc), replacing high-rise "risers" (the pipes that deliver water to units for heat & A/C), kitchen main drain pipes and balcony refurbishment and railing replacement. This work was financed through increased condo fees versus a special assessment. Americana Centre Association owners have never had a special assessment. In addition, Americana Centre was recently awarded Historic Designation by the City of Rockville for its unique mid-century modern design.
