Why Live At The Carleton
The Carleton is smaller and newer than its neighbors, the Elizabeth and 4620 North Park. The level of luxury at the Carleton is similar to its nearby neighbor, Somerset House. With only eleven floors and 149 units in total, many feel that the Carleton has a more intimate feel than the other condo communities in Friendship Heights. Everything you need is nearby from grocery stores to fine shops, good restaurants, movie theaters and commuter routes around the city.
The Carleton is distinguished by its Art Deco architecture and spacious condos with luxury finishes often found in single-family homes. The property was completed in 1982-1983 with 149 luxury units composed of floor plans ranging in size from 959 to 2096 square feet, two bedrooms plus dens from 1540 to 2096 square feet, and three bedrooms at 1896 square feet.
In the years since original construction, some owners have purchased adjacent units and there are now additional floor plans ranging from 2403 square feet to a few with more than 3000 square feet. All units feature abundant closets, large table space balconies, full-sized washer and dryers, and individually metered heat and air conditioning. Each condo conveys with one assigned indoor parking space but many convey with two. Each owner also has access to an assigned storage closet.

Pets at the Carleton
Pets are welcomed at the Carleton. Sadly, there are not many dog parks in Bethesda, but a good one can be found at Cabin John Park, located at 10900 Westlake Drive, near Montgomery Mall and the Beltway. In addition, the Carleton is close to the Capital Crescent Trail, which offers a great way to take Fido for a long run. My favorite vet is nearby too. I use Friendship Animal Hospital which is just a mile down Wisconsin Avenue in Washington DC. Friendship is an astonishing animal hospital, that offers every health service you could imagine, including MRIs for animals, acupuncture, and chemotherapy. If you have a sick pet, I can’t imagine any place better to take him or her.
