Modern Condo Features at Kite House
Designed by Hickok Cole, Kite House is an integral part of The Parks at Walter Reed in Washington, DC’s northwestern quadrant. The 66-acre redevelopment of the former Army medical center was years in the making. Other residential options include The Brooks condominium, Aspen Square townhomes, upscale apartment rentals, and the upcoming Veranda at the Parks with both condos and townhomes. The historic site still features its signature great lawn and other greenspaces. Also integral to the project’s appeal is onsite dining and retailers including Whole Foods, Starbucks, Juneberry Garage, and many others.
Completed in 2023, Kite House offers a modern look from the exterior, with a combination of red brick and black steel. Square black private terraces jut out from the sides of the building’s various wings. Entering the condo residences, the fresh and contemporary appearance continues with interior designs from STUDIOS. The airy open space layouts come in two overall concepts—cool palette and warm palette—with different wood tones and finishes. Beautiful wide-plank wood floors are bathed in natural light from oversized windows that often overlook Walter Reed’s great lawn. Innovative gourmet kitchens with white stone counters fit flush against the wall and are completely open to the adjoining dining and living areas. Bosch stainless steel appliance packages, sleek Kohler fixtures, and movable islands add to the appeal.
The old Walter Reed Medical Center closed in 2011 and was subsequently incorporated into Bethesda Naval Medical Center. A lengthy redevelopment project kicked into active gear in 2016, with a vacated 66-acre parcel of land taking shape as The Parks at Walter Reed. The original Great Lawn, which encompasses about six lush acres, is a centerpiece of the new master-planned community. Kite House’s proximity to the green oasis lends to the verdant appeal. Residents enjoy indoor amenities such as a staffed lobby, concierge service, a clubroom with café tables and media, lounge seating, a premium fitness center, a yoga and meditation room, library, work stations, an outdoor terrace with grills, a courtyard, gazebos, fire pits, shuffleboard, and secure parking.
