East Gate is one of the more interesting communities that is still affordable in the Potomac area. Mostly contemporary designs, built in the 1970's. this community is quickly being renovated by new owners looking for an affordable entry price and a great location.

This is a very cool home. The foyer is open and welcoming. You cannot miss the back of the stacked stone fireplace that is centered in the middle of the home. The family room is on the other side of this beautiful fireplace which is nicely proportioned and perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen is a work of art. Taking up the majority of the right side of the home, it has been completely renovated. The cathedral ceilings are stunning,and the space is fabulous. When this home sells, the kitchen should get the credit. All high end appliances and cabinets, granite counters and beautiful hardware get top marks. Windows have been installed in the side of the home to allow plenty of light to stream through the space. There is room here for an enormous table if that is what you are looking for in a kitchen. There is also access to a extended deck with hot tub in the back of the home from this space.

The balance of the main level is taken by a master suite and 2 additional decent size bedrooms. Although not a huge home, the space between living and sleeping is well balanced and makes sense.

The lower level is nicely carpeted and also has a stacked stone fireplace. There is room here for a large TV and possible home theatre. There is currently an office that may be converted to a bedroom, and an additional bedroom for au-pair or teenager. A full bath services the lower level bedrooms and living area. There is also access by slider to a nice treed back yard.

This home has a lot going for it. $899K may be a bit steep for the size of this home. Because of the improvements, and quality of the improvements the price is not out of the realm of possibility. Someone will have to fall in love with the kitchen and deck of this home to pay the full price. I think this should end up around $840K, but would not be surprised to see it go higher.
