This community was unknown to me before I visited this week. In the far northern section of Potomac, bordering North Potomac, is Piney Glen Village. A large community of single family and town homes, it is a nice mix of homes built in the late 1990's.

This is a large all brick town home with a 2 car garage. These homes are typical of three level town homes built all over the area over the past 10 years. The brick fascia gives them the look of an urban brownstone which appeals to many.

A stairway takes your up to the entry level and formal living area. Hardwood floors and elaborate mouldings are an attractive feature in this home. A strange odor hits you at the front door. Maybe residual odor from cooking? A air freshener may be in order here.

The home is in good condition and is well maintained. The kitchen is well designed with a nice island and granite tops. High end white cabinets and appliances will please even the most critical kitchen aficionados. The back splash is done with expensive tile. A nice touch in the bland world of town homes.

A door takes you out to a nice 2 level deck. The back of the home has a built in awning for relief from the sun on summer afternoons. We all know this is a great asset when the DC sun is cooking.

Upstairs the Master suite has a cathedral ceiling and is nicely staged. The master bath has a whirlpool tub and is pretty typical of higher end town homes. The other bedrooms upstairs are teen size and will provide plenty of room for kids and guests. The bathroom in the hall is plenty big to service the additional bedrooms.

The basement is fully finished and is carpeted. There is a slider that takes you to the back yard where a slate patio awaits. The deck shades the area dramatically, so it is not a place for a sun chair. It may be used as a protected spot for storage or a bit of shade.

This is a nice home in the Churchill school cluster. For $699K, you can have a well outfitted home that is in great condition. The location is on the outer limits of Potomac, but we all know that many just want the Potomac zip code and are not concerned about proximity to the village. If this is the case, Piney Glen Village is worth a look.

There is competition for this home in this same community. This home shows better and has a nicer kitchen design. The other home has a better location backing to park. I see this one settling at $670K when the settlement takes place.
