8914 Bells Mill Road - Kentsdale Estates - $2,045,000

Kentsdale Estates is an infill development of NEW CONSTRUCTION located on Bells Mill Road between Falls Road and Seven Locks Road in Potomac.

I have been previewing many homes in the $1.5 to $2.2mm this past week for a client that may be relocating from the NYC area. Surprisingly, this range is one of the more competitive in Potomac. Only the best of the best will sell at list price, and those homes that have sold lately are priced right.

This community is located on Bells Mill Road. What was once a sleepy cut through road 20 years ago has become much more heavily used. Widened a few years back, this road carries significant traffic, especially during rush hour in the morning and evening. Weekend traffic is mostly in the morning with families bringing their kids to soccer and football practices at one of the many schools and parks along this road.

Although this home has a Bells Mill Road address, it is actually not directly fronting the road. These homes are on a private cul-de-sac and the lots are far enough off the road that they will not contend with traffic noise.

This home has been a model home for the past year or so. It is beautifully decorated and maintained, and will really impress buyers walking through. With 4 finished levels, elevator, upgrades galore...this home is dressed to impress. With 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths there is plenty of room for family and a Nanny. Two half baths on the main floor are in addition to the other baths....wow!

This is a pretty house with very nice lines. This is one of the few homes I have seen that is built to Energy Star standards. Supposedly this type of construction will save the homeowner up to 30% on energy costs. This is significant when you think of the expense of heating and cooling a 7,300 square foot home.

This home is lovely and will certainly appraise for the asking price. The builder seems motivated to sell and may have to take a bit of a cut on this home. I see this settling at $1,975,000.
