Listed by WFPFawcett Farms for less then $1mm? I was really curious. This home is located on Brent Road which is between Brickyard and Rock Run Drive just off Falls Road on the Bethesda side of Potomac.
This is a lovely home that needs some TLC. The home has horrid curb appeal as the yard is overgrown and looks terrible. The ground cover has taken half the front walk out, and it would be tough to navigate in the dark.
The front door leads you into a nice foyer with high ceilings. There is beautiful wide plank cherry flooring throughout the main level. It would be stunning with a bit of polish and buffing. The finishes are good through out the main level. The kitchen is nice with granite and quality cabinets. The appliances look older then 1995 when the home was built. Some new stainless appliances would make a big difference in how this kitchen shows.
The family room has a fireplace and cathedral ceilings. Although not large by Potomac standards, this is a great layout.
Upstairs has 3 bedrooms that are empty except for artwork on the walls. I am guessing the homeowner is an artist as there is a studio in the basement. Although the art is nice, the empty bedrooms do not show well. The master is good size and finished well. The bathroom needs a bit of spit and polish, but has aged well.
The basement stairs has carpeting that is trashed and filthy dirty. It leads to an unfinished basement with lots of potential.
This home needs $10,000 of cosmetic work to make it look nice. I am sure the investment now would yield the homeowner $50,000 in sales price. With low interest rates I cannot imagine a better investment. It will give you a 400% return is a very short period of time.
The home is priced to sell. I am sure you can negotiate a bit more, but someone is going to get a bargain here.
Why don't you let me take you over to see this one. You will end up with a great home, in a great location with great schools at a great price. Need I say more?
