Listed By Long and FosterPotomac Woods is located just south of Wootton Parkway between Falls and Seven Locks Road. This home was built in 1968 and has been updated. This one is worth a look for those in the $700K price range.
This home is a brick colonial with a columned front elevation. The home seems to be nicely maintained with freshly trimmed landscaping and clean yard. The foyer area is narrow and floored with ceramic tile. You step down into a living room which is in good condition with vintage hardwood floors. The dining room is good sized and leads you into a newly renovated kitchen. The maple cabinets and granite tops nicely accent the space. The Family room is a nice size in the back corner of the first floor. There is also an office in the front corner of the house. Plenty of space in this 1968 era colonial.
The upstairs has 4 nice size bedrooms. The hall bath has updated faucets and is in good condition. The master bath has been upgraded. I only wish they did not leave the original vanity.
The basement is fully finished with lots of space. There are nice mouldings on the wall and the carpet is in great condition. This would be a great spot for a TV room. There is also an area way out to the back yard.
The yard in back has a large slate patio. Over the years the slate has heaved in many spots and will have to be replaced or repaired. There are large trees that can shade this spot in the summer. It would be worth the investment to repair or replace the patio, or add an appropriate deck.
This is a nicely upgraded home with a lovely floor plan. Much of the upgrading needed for a home of this age has been done. Potomac Woods is a lovely neighborhood and the home is well priced. When all is said and done, this home will probably settle at $665,000.

I check your blog frequently for homes in this price range. Which neighborhood do you think is most desirable for a family with young kids: Horizon Hill, Montgomery Square, Regency Estates or Highland Stone? Any general comments would be great.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, ALL of these communities have young families. All of them would be great communities to raise kids. You may want to further investigate the schools they will go to. Regency Estates, Highland Stone and half of Montgomery Square are in the Churchill cluster, Horizon Hill and half of Montgomery Square are in the Richard Montgomery Cluster.
ReplyDeleteYou will generally find the prices to be a bit higher for homes in the Churchill cluster because of the perception of better schools in the Churchill cluster.
Otherwise, all of the construction and styles are very similar. Post war brick and frame splits, colonials and ramblers.
Feel free to e-mail me and I can give you more specific comments. THANK YOU for the great question.
