Glen Oaks is located on the North side of Glen Road just off Gregerscroft Road. Built in the late 1960's and early 1970's these homes are in the Churchill school cluster and many back to Watts Branch Stream Valley Park.

This home is located at the end of the court and is between 2 other homes that share a driveway. The elevation slopes down to the house and the driveway circles to allow cars to just drive through. This lot has a great view of woods to the back and will offer loads of privacy. The topography of the lot will turn off a lot of potential purchasers.

This brick and frame colonial was built in 1960. There is hardwood throughout - typical for its age - and seems to be in decent condition. The living and dining room are on the smaller side, but proportioned well. A fresh coat of paint and some more modern decor could do worlds for these rooms.

There is a step down into the family room with fireplace. This design was popular and is repeated in the master bedroom suite directly above. The only negative to this design is it takes a foot of headroom from the basement below. It gives that section of the basement a "Closed In" feel.

There is a deck off the back of the home overlooking the woods. The view is lovely - even in the winter. It must be wonderful in the summer with the trees dressed in leaves.

The kitchen is small and dated. This will be a near term project for the new owners.

The upstairs has 3 teen size bedrooms and the step down master suite. The wood floors are in good shape, but the paint and decor is tired. The baths had been updated at one point in the homes history. The master bath had a sunken tub, shower and full wall wallpaper mural behind the tub. Some updating will be on the to-do list of the new owners.

The basement is semi-finished with a walk out to the small back yard. The floors are tiled with a drop ceiling and it looks like there may be a vent for a rough in bath. The laundry is here as well as a work room. All of this space needs renovation.

The lot on this home is going to make it a challenge to sell. A nature lover that loves being perched in the woods may fall in love but others will see limited use for the small backyard and challenging driveway. This one needs to be dressed up to show well. An investment in a fresh coat of paint on the interior walls, ceilings and trim will make this show a lot better. I am sure the owners will get their money back and more with this investment. At $799,000 it is the cheapest in the neighborhood and may drive traffic to the home. I think it will sell for around $760K when it does.
