Regency Estates is one of the few "affordable" communities left in the Churchill school cluster. Built in the early 1960's, this community is a mix of small split foyers and traditional split levels.

This home is located on Seven Locks Road which is a busy thoroughfare on this side of Potomac. This partial brick split has a one car garage and sits on a 1/4 acre lot. The home has a brick wall along the front of the home which is attractive, but will soon need maintenance. The grounds have potential, but also need some TLC.

The home is a typical split foyer. You enter into a tile foyer between floors. The main living area is upstairs and hardwood rules the day. It has been refinished in the last few years and seems to be in good shape. The kitchen too has been updated. It could use a bit of sprucing up, but it is serviceable. A door goes out to a nice size deck overlooking a fenced back yard.

The bedrooms are typical for a home of this size and era. The 2 full baths are original and small, but once again, this is typical in this type of home.

The downstairs is carpeted with a family room large enough for decent size TV. There is also a bedroom on this level and a half bath. There is a rough-in for a shower in the powder room, which should be on the short list of things to do for the new owner.

This home is priced to reflect the busy road and dated condition. It seems to have good bones and could be a bargain for someone handy that wants the Churchill district on a budget. This may be a winner for a professional with a home business. The busy road would be good exposure for a CPA or Insurance agent with a home office.

There is a foreclosure next door that is under contract. We won't know the final sales price until settlement. This is priced well at $519K although it will probably settle right around $500,000.
