About 4710 Elm St #w-1101
Hardwood-style floors and an open layout make the most of every square foot in this thoughtfully designed studio at The Elm, where modern finishes and smart storage turn a 561-square-foot space into a home that genuinely works for the way people live today. The open floor plan lets the living area breathe, and recessed lighting overhead means the space feels bright and considered well into the evening, long after the afternoon sun has shifted.
The kitchen is the quiet centerpiece of daily life here. Upgraded countertops give you real workspace, and the full suite of stainless steel appliances — refrigerator with ice maker, stove, self-cleaning oven, range hood, microwave, and dishwasher — means cooking at home is genuinely easy rather than an afterthought. A garbage disposal keeps cleanup simple, and because the washer and dryer are right inside the unit, laundry fits into your schedule rather than the other way around. No shared laundry rooms, no waiting. The walk-in closet adds the kind of storage that a well-proportioned studio absolutely needs, and ceiling fans throughout let you fine-tune your comfort without touching the thermostat.
Beyond the front door, The Elm was completed in 2021, and the building's amenities reflect that. The fitness center means you can fit a workout in before the rest of Bethesda has finished its first cup of coffee. The roof deck offers a place to decompress in the open air, with the kind of elevated perspective that reminds you exactly where you are in one of the most desirable corridors in the DC metro area. When you want to host, the clubhouse, game room, and meeting room give you options well beyond your own four walls, and the picnic area is an easy choice for a low-key afternoon outside. The pool brings a resort-like rhythm to the warmer months, and the dog park means your four-legged companion — cats and dogs are both welcome here — has a dedicated place to run. Concierge service and gated access with security mean the building takes care of the details that make daily life feel smooth rather than effortful, and covered parking in the garage means you are never circling the block after a long day.
Bethesda itself is the kind of neighborhood that rewards the decision to be here. The mix of long-established local businesses and newer arrivals gives the streets a character that feels earned rather than manufactured. Wisconsin Avenue and Bethesda Row bring restaurants, independent shops, and weekend energy within easy reach, and the sense that neighbors recognize each other — at the coffee counter, in the elevator, on the sidewalk — is real in a way that newer developments in less-rooted neighborhoods rarely achieve. The walkable grid means that most of what you need on any given day is genuinely close, and the broader convenience of the Bethesda location connects you to the rest of the metro area without the friction that comes with living farther out.
At the end of the day, this is a home designed around the idea that a well-made smaller space, in exactly the right place, with the right amenities surrounding it, adds up to a daily life that feels complete. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
