1112 Halesworth Drive - Orchard Ridge - $650,000

Orchard Ridge is a lovely single family community tucked in on the southwest side of Wootton Parkway and Seven Locks Road. Part of the Richard Montgomery school cluster, this is an attractive move up community close to all Potomac amenities.

This is a nice home on the Halesworth Loop. With white siding and a front sited garage, this home has nice curb appeal. The foyer is open and looks straight into the kitchen at the back of the home. Double doors allow you to cut off the kitchen from view, but with doors open the space looks much larger and less formal. The hardwood extends into the living room and dining room and is good condition. The kitchen is spacious with a large table area to eat. Although dated, this kitchen would be smashing if re-done.

The Family room has cathedral ceilings and a fireplace centered on the long wall. Skylights and windows make this space bright although there is staining around one of the skylights that hints of a leak. A laundry room doubles as a mud room with a door going into the front offset 2 car garage. Nice touch!

Upstairs has 3 decent size bedrooms and a very nice master with volume ceilings. The baths are original but with a little paint will look nice. Nice floor plan!

The basement is unfinished, but looks to have a full rough-in bath. This has huge potential for a family room or home theatre.

The downside to this home is the back yard. It is sloped up to Seven Locks Road with a view of the County Detention Center. A large deck and some creative landscaping can alleviate some of this issue, but you cannot change the location. It is priced well at $650,000 which does take some of these issues into consideration.

This one has been on the market too long. Although it is now priced well, it is stale. This one will end up selling at between $605K and $620k when all is said and done.
