Montgomery Square is located just off Falls Road between Montrose Road and Wootton Parkway. Most of these homes were built in the 1960's and are a mix of split levels and ramblers most of which have been updated over the years. This is one of the few affordable communities left in Potomac for a single family home.

This home is pretty on the outside with nice landscaping and tended gardens. The home is frame construction and seems to be nicely maintained.

The foyer is small with some type of resilient tile that leads into the kitchen. It looks like ceramic, but seems like it would be easier to clean and maintain. It is not hardwood, but it looks nice. The kitchen has nice cherry cabinets and Formica counters.

The dining room and living room are small but nicely decorated. The family room is a step down, adjacent to the kitchen and small breakfast area. It has custom built ins that surround the fireplace. A nice touch.

The upstairs has 3 kid sized bedrooms and an updated bath to service them. The master suite is enlarged with high ceilings and an updated master bath.

The basement is finished with carpet and has a full bath and fireplace. There is a room built out as a bedroom for a nanny if the need for one exists.

This is a very nice home. The yard in back is gorgeous. About a third of an acre, nice lawn and groomed gardens. You could picture having friends and neighbors over for a barbecue with plenty of room left for a horseshoe pit or boccie court.

The home though nice, is small. There is not much in Montgomery Square that sells at over $700K unless it has been extended. The assessed value gives a clue as to what this home will sell for. In 2009 the value is listed as $669,500. An offer at this level should be embraced by the sellers. I'll report back to see where this one finally settles.
