The Chase at Bethesda:
Luxury Condos That Come With a Free TV
The Chase at Bethesda
(Note: UrbanTurf would like to thank Jamie Test of CondoAuthority.com for providing a wealth of knowledge about The Chase at Bethesda for this article.)
As far as luxury condo developments go in Bethesda, The Chase at Bethesda is one of the area’s more affordable options. The development has small one-bedrooms in the low $300,000s and two-bedrooms in the mid-$500s while other buildings in the same zip code have far more expensive listings at comparable sizes. Take into account that these prices include a private parking space and access to the building’s fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, and two tennis courts, and it ends up looking like a great deal.
Location
The Chase is located at 7500 Woodmont Avenue (see map here).
It is one of the best positioned condo developments in Bethesda as it is directly across the street from the Bethesda Metro stop (Red Line) and in between Bethesda Row and Woodmont Triangle, both of which have numerous dining and shopping options.
Living Space
The Chase at Bethesda is two buildings, one of 225 units and one of 122 units. Both buildings were originally condominiums when sales began in June 2006, but a slow market forced Monument Realty, owners of the property, to sell the north tower to Ross Development. Ross Development in turn reverted the building back to rental apartments. Approximately 50 percent of the units have sold in the south tower which remains all condos.
While the floor plans are relatively simple and straightforward, the units are comparable in size to many units in other luxury buildings. The Chatom is one of the development’s one-bedroom models. A U-shaped kitchen is on the left as you enter the unit and a stackable washer/dryer and full bathroom are on the right. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and opens to a good-sized living and dining area that measures 14 feet by 19 feet. A large bedroom is off the side of the living area and there is a small full bathroom connected to the bedroom. Both the living area and bedroom have sliding doors that open to a balcony.
Most of the two-bedroom units are on the corners of the building. The Sheffield model has a kitchen to the right when you enter which overlooks a 10 feet by 8 feet dining area. The rest of the unit then swings to the left with the living area and two bedrooms to the opposite side of the condo. Two full bathrooms are tucked back against one of the walls with one readily accessible from the living room. A large balcony can be accessed by the smaller second bedroom and the living room, but not the larger master bedroom.
Most of the units at The Chase have standard interior finishes: basic granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances. However, they are not outfitted with the highest end appliances and finishes. “If you’re looking for names like Viking, Wolf, and Sub-Zero, you’ll have to increase your price range substantially and look to other luxury developments in Bethesda,” Jamie Test told UrbanTurf.

Parking & Transportation
One garage parking space is included in the listing price for every condo in The Chase at Bethesda. Additional spaces are available for $30,000.
As noted above, the Bethesda Metro is right across the street from the development.
Bottom Line
The Chase is pulling out the stops in order to sell their remaining units. Last weekend, an advertisement on Craigslist for a $323,000 one-bedroom unit offered an additional $8,000 for closing costs and condo fees. Oh, and they were also willing to throw in a flat screen TV to sweeten the deal.

This is one of the smaller one-bedrooms (approximately 500 square feet) that The Chase has on the market. The kitchen is pretty small but the unit makes up for that with a large living and dining area, and a bedroom that can comfortably fit a Queen-sized bed and wardrobe. There is a stackable washer and dryer in the unit and a balcony.
