This is a 1965 era split level in the Regency Estates community. Located in the Churchill school cluster, this community is ever popular because of schools, location and price.

Although you can find homes below $700K in Potomac, it is not often you can find them renovated at this price. With a new two car garage and double width driveway there are a lot of value added improvements in this property.

The home has been completely renovated from top to bottom. A leaded glass front door leads you into a newly laid marble foyer. The kitchen is to your right, recently updated with high end appliances and Pergo flooring. The adjacent breakfast area is large enough for a good sized table with great light from a large bay window. The flooring throughout the main level is refinished hardwood in great condition.

The upstairs has 4 bedrooms. All are decent size, typical of homes of this era. The master bedroom was updated in 2007 with marble in the bath and shower area. There are ceiling fans in all of the other bedrooms. The hall bath has also been upgraded with marble tile.

The lower level is finished with a bedroom and full bath. There is a large recreation room with fireplace with newer wall to wall carpet. There is access from this level to the back yard through a sliding glass door.

The roof, air conditioning, furnace and water heater have all been recently replaced. With a third of an acre, this home has a lot of added value. Why am I not jumping up and down singing the praises of this home? The upgrades in the foyer and baths are done in a brown onyx and marble tile. If this style and color was only done as an accent, it would have worked beautifully. It is in the foyer, on the stairs to the lower level, in the baths....a bit overdone. If you happen to like this style, this home is a winner. If it is not to your taste, you will be underwhelmed.

The last split sold in this neighborhood was on Greenlane Court in August. It did not have the upgrades that this one has, and sold for $625,000. This leads me to believe that this home is fairly priced. Look for this one going fairly quickly at $650,000
