Listed by Long and Foster

I have seen quite a few homes in this community in the last few weeks. This home is one of the nicer homes I have seen. Completely refinished, a buyer would not need to do anything but move in their furnishings once they settle.

What is not to like about this brick colonial? All the work has been done. The home has also been properly prepared for sale. No clutter, clean and perfectly groomed. Kudos to the listing agent.

This is not a big house. Built by Pulte in the late 1960's this is probably 2500 square feet above ground. The living room and dining room are decent size and furnished sparsely. The galley kitchen along the back of the home has been completely redone with quality maple cabinets and stainless appliances. The breakfast area is adequate with a view of the back yard and decent light. The laundry room is adjacent in a passage that leads to the garage. Stacked washer and dryer once again makes best use of the space available.

Upstairs has 4 bedrooms with redone baths. There is wise use of built in cabinetry in the master to make more efficient use of available space. The other bedrooms are teen sized and nicely maintained.

The basement is a nice surprise. Completely finished there is a great home theatre set up with projection TV. There are built in cabinets along the back wall with wet bar that look great. An door with area way lead from the basement space to the back yard. A bedroom and full bath finish off this level which is impressive. The space will allow a family to live in this home and not crowd each other.

I think this home is priced at a premium. There are other homes in this range that offer more space and more potential. What this house has going for it is it is DONE. Someone can just move their stuff in and live well without the aggravation of needing to remodel. Although this is priced richly, they just may get the asking price. This home is a great example of how a home should be properly staged for sale.

This should fetch at least $890,000 in its current pristine condition.

Are you interested in Chevy Chase homes?

  2. Thanks so much for you comment! You are correct. The home has been reduced in price to $924,900. It DOES show beautifully. I think the basement is a great selling point; who would not love a home theatre? I may have some suggestions on homes with first floor bedrooms. Feel free to e-mail me for a list of available properties. I'd love to assist you in purchasing a home!
