11112 Korman Drive - Bedfordshire - $825,000

Bedfordshire is tucked in behind the Falls Road Golf Course and Kilgour Branch Park. Built in the early 1970's, this community is a mix of contemporary and traditional homes close to shopping, commuter routes and recreation.

This home from the street is the definition of Curb Appeal. Landscaped, painted and groomed, the home looks great. Great care has been taken to make this home look its best.

The front walk has been updated with concrete squares in a random pattern which fits the contemporary style. Flowers and plantings add structure to the space in front, and will be stunning in the spring when the iris bloom.

The front door brings you into a 2 story foyer and view of the Living room and floor to ceiling fireplace. A retro "Conversation Pit" is a step down space adjacent to the fireplace to gather and chat with friends. Although not in vogue now, it is an interesting structural addition and works in this design.

The kitchen is recently renovated with granite and upgraded appliances. The open view to the family room has great light and is a comfortable informal space. There is a sun room that is nicely done attached to the family room with access to the deck.

Upstairs the bedrooms are all decent size with good light. The master bath has been upgraded nicely, and overall, this home is fabulous.

The basement is finished with new carpet and a sliding glass door to the back yard. The suspended ceiling here is the only thing I did not like about the space, but it is clean and bright.

The yard is well maintained with flowering trees and nice landscape. Someone spent time and effort to really make the outside nice. This is truly a turnkey purchase with little needed to be comfortable.

While the price may seem high for a contemporary in this community, it really is not. With the upgrades and maintenance that has already been done, you will not have any deferred maintenance to handle after moving in. New roof, paint, kitchen.....it is worth the price.

I see this home selling quickly for close to asking price. It is the nicest contemporary on the market, and is a value at this price. Look for this to go under contract quickly. I see this settling between $810,000 and $820,000 when the closing date comes.
