8600 Fox Run - Fox Hills - $607,600


Fox Hills has always been a popular community in the Potomac area. Built in the 1960's this neighborhood is generally well maintained with a fabulous sense of community. With Churchill Cluster schools, the homes are always in high demand.

This home is one of the smaller models in the neighborhood. With an overgrown yard, there is not much good to say regarding curb appeal. For a few thousand dollars, this place could be cleaned up on the outside and made to look a bit more attractive from the street. In the real estate world, a little mulch goes a long way.

Things don't get much prettier on the inside. The home needs attention. It has been a long time since it has had some TLC. A fresh coat of paint is lost in the dark rooms. The home needs complete update and renovation to become attractive once again.

There are 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in this home. The bedrooms are not large, but are typical of homes from this era. Someone with vision can make something of this house, but it will take money and time.

This will be a project for the person that buys this home. While it has been priced to reflect its condition, it still does not present well. The last couple I brought through walked in and immediately said, "No, Thanks".

This would be a nice home for someone that has the time and skills to do some of the needed work on their own. Because of the condition and the way it shows, I see this house selling for less then it may actually be worth. This would be a value at $550K and should settle somewhere between $550K and $575K when all is done.

  1. Thanks for the review, I was wondering why the house was listed for so much less.
