11701 Slatestone Court - Clagett Farm - $1,250,000

Clagett Farm is finally looking like an established community. Built in the late 1990's - It took a while for the trees to landscaping to mature to really make this community look nice. Located just off Glen Road - this is a community of brick colonials that were really built well.

Every once in a while you walk into a home that looks like a builders model home. This is one of those houses. Great corner location - super landscape and curb appeal - you can't wait to go inside. A two story foyer bathed in light really is stunning. The decor and furnishings are top notch. Hardwood throughout the first level gleams.

A library, large sun-room, family room, dining room and fantastic kitchen are well proportioned and beautifully finished. The kitchen has top notch appliances and will please even the most critical gourmand. The back yard is a bit stunted because of how the home is sited - but the space is finished well. A nice deck - screening plants - spa area all are nicely done.

You can go up by way of a formal front stair - or back stairwell. Both take you to the sleeping level. The master bedroom is large and beautifully finished. Plenty of closet space and large master bath is almost spa-like. The other bedrooms are all good size with one sharing a Jack and Jill bath. The carpet in all of the rooms is high quality (Read high dollar) and tastefully patterned.

The basement is a kids paradise. Fully finished with are away to the back yard - this also has a bedroom and full bath for Nanny or domestic help. The open space is light and inviting. It is very un-basement like.

This is a nice house and fairly priced. The market over $1mm, even in Potomac has suffered the most in the financial meltdown. Larger down payments and higher rates have put off some purchasers. For the person that sells their $800K home in Potomac and wants to move up - you have found your home. This homes value is not about the comps - but the cost to replicate the finish and upgrades. This should go for $1.2mm when all is said and done.
