With its direct views onto Soapstone Valley Park, gleaming hardwood floors, remodeled kitchen & bath, and assigned parking spot, this spacious one-bedroom is an oasis within the city. This Forest Hills location is just steps from the Van Ness subway, trails of Rock Creek Park, grocery, eateries and shops -- a green and vibrant place to live. The building's resort-style amenities are a rarity in the city, providing residents with two outdoor pools, a gym, renovated locker room, a party room, a library, 24-hour front desk/security, concierge and grounds to stroll and relax in. The apartment's gleaming wood floors were recently sanded and refinished and the unit is open, distinctly quiet, and light-filled. The building has instituted renewable-energy improvements, including modern solar voltaic panels installed on the roof. All utilities and a storage unit included in condo fee. Soapstone Valley Trail opened this year for the first time since March 2022, given the conclusion of a rehabilitation project. The unit currently has a tenant renting on a month-to-month basis given the end of the lease term. The best days to schedule tours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday after noon but other days are also available. A 24-hour notice is preferred. Contact owner/agent for tour appointments.
