13 Lawngate Court - Saddebrook - $569,900


Listed By Long and Foster

Saddlebrook is a community built in the early 1970's. Predominantly modest single family homes, this community has held up well.

When Saddlebrook was built, Interstate 270 was a 2 lane offshoot of the Washington Beltway. Now, I-270 is a major thoroughfare - 6 lanes in some spots. The noise from the highway is certainly a factor in this area. Although this home is on a cul-de-sac, it is adjacent to I-270 and the noise it generates. Any buyers will weigh this factor when making an offer

For a home of the '70's era, it has been kept in pretty good shape. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths the home flows well, and has good sized rooms on the main level. The kitchen has a convenient pass through to the dining room and makes the smaller galley style kitchen seem bigger.

Upstairs there are 3 decent sized bedrooms that share a full bath. The baths are original but functional. Someone may want to bring them up to date at some point in the future. The master bedroom is decent sized, and has an attached master bath. Small but functional, this bath also needs to be brought up to date.

The basement is finished and has a direct entry to the one car garage. The basement also has a room being used as a bedroom of decent size.

This home is a good value for the money. I think the list price reflects the homes proximity to I-270 and is inexpensive for the Potomac address. The schools feed into the Wootton school cluster and will be attractive to many potential buyers for that reason. I see this one selling in the $550K area reasonably quickly.
