Large windows frame the treetop view seen from an updated, two-bedroom, two-bath condominium in Bethesda, located about 15 minutes from downtown Washington, D.C.

Driving into the 28-acre Sumner Village community, which consists of about 200 four-story units, residents pass through a manned security gate. Each condominium building has a locked secure entry with an intercom, a small lobby and an elevator. This second-story unit has a reserved outdoor parking spot.

The parquet floors throughout the one-level home have been refinished. The entryway has a closet. Straight ahead from the entry is the large living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden blinds.

An entire wall of built-in, white, wood cabinets are here, as well as shelves and a desk. Crown molding finishes the updated look.

The living room connects to the dining room, which offers a wrought-iron chandelier and a wall of windows. A sliding glass door leads to the 6-by-15 balcony.

The kitchen features white wooden cabinets, dark laminate countertops, a stainless-steel sink with a water filter, a ceramic-tile floor, and recessed lighting. The stainless-steel appliances include a side-by-side GE refrigerator, Whirlpool double ovens, an electric Jenn-Air cooktop and a wine cooler. A breakfast bar with stools conveys, or the room can be used for eat-in table space.

A pantry, along with a washer and dryer area, is near the kitchen. Along the hall are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Both bathrooms have mirrored walls, medicine cabinets, cherry vanities with marble tops, and beige ceramic tile on the floor and walls. The hall bathroom has a spacious, tiled shower. The master bathroom contains a sunken tub/shower with air jets.

Storage is plentiful in this home. The hall has a storage closet and a walk-in closet. There also is a sizeable storage room on the first floor.

The guest bedroom or office has large windows with wood blinds and a walk-in closet with stretchers. The 13-by-17 master bedroom also has large windows and a walk-in closet with stretchers, as well as a second closet with shelves.

Community amenities include adult and baby pools, two tennis courts and a community center with a library, a party room, a sauna and an exercise room. There is direct access to the Capital Crescent Trail, and a shopping mall with a supermarket, a pharmacy and a coffee shop are nearby. A Ride On bus connects residents to other public transit. Small pets are allowed in this community.
