Willerburn Acres is a very nice community of well kept homes built in the late 1960's. Many of these homes have gone through renovation, and the care put into the upkeep of the community makes it an attractive place to live.

The exterior on this Dutch colonial is pretty. The boxwood lined walk takes you to the entrance of this home. A red front door takes you into a formal foyer with marble tile. The living room and dining room are to the right and both have pretty hardwood floors.

The kitchen has been recently renovated and looks great with Maple cabinets and granite. A view of the pool and manicured backyard from the breakfast area makes for a pleasant morning meal.

The family room is adjacent to the kitchen and is family sized. Great for TV and a cozy fire this room is large for a 1960's era home. An office or library finished off the main level. While it is currently being used as a bedroom, it is not large enough for a formal bedroom but will do in a pinch. This could be a spot for a daybed and desk. The room can be used for guests if needed.

The upstairs has a master and 3 additional bedrooms. The master is decent size, with an updated master bath. The other 3 bedrooms are decent size and share the additional hall bathroom. The hall bath has been redone at some point, but is showing its age. It will be on the short list of things to do for the new owners.

The basement is large and finished. There is a bar in the corner that looks like it was built in the 1970's. There is potential down here for some great parties. A half bath in the basement is convenient and limits traffic up and down the stairs.

The home in general is lovely. It has been cared for and well maintained. The yard and lot are in good condition and Willerburn Acres is convenient to shopping and part of the Churchill HS cluster. The home shows well, but is priced a bit high. This should settle at around $825,000 once sold.

Are you interested in seeing some Chevy Chase homes?

  1. Why do you think it should go for $144,000 less than its current asking price? Comparable homes in the Churchill school district are going in the $800s, $900s and above.
