Windsor Hills was built in the late 1970's off Gainsborough Road backing to Cabin John Regional Park. Mostly brick colonials, these homes were built for the "move up" market. There was a need for larger homes for those that grew out of other Potomac communities with smaller homes. This is still a fabulous community with good schools and great location.

This home is one of the nicer homes I have seen in a long time. The home is neat as a pin with great curb appeal. Fresh mulch, edged beds, daffodils blooming - it looks like a postcard from the outside. This lovely vision foreshadows what you find inside.

A formal foyer and beautiful decor greet you as you enter. The paint, furnishings and trim are all impeccable. The rooms are light and updated - all done with good quality materials and good taste. The back of the home has been extended to add a fantastic kitchen. White cabinets galore with high ceilings and plenty of storage. The white subway tile and stainless appliances will please both the cook and designer. This looks like a page out of House Beautiful.

The kitchen looks over to a cozy family room with lots of windows out to the back yard. Although not super large - the yard is fenced and beautifully groomed. Shrubs, flowers and specimen plants will be a great canvas for the artistic gardener.

Upstairs too is pristine. How can kids rooms be so neat? Nicely painted and tidy - you can just move your kids stuff in. The hall bathroom is already updated. There is no need to spend time at Home Depot after buying this home. The master is light, airy and large. The master bath is an oasis after a long day at work.

The basement is fully finished with integrated storage throughout. A full bath and bedroom area for a nanny is no surprise in a home that has everything. there is plenty of room down here for the kids, home theatre and hobbies.

So, what is this worth? I think it is priced fairly at $1.1 million. I will have to hope that my wife does not somehow find this gem - or I may find myself moving. I don't think this one will be on the market for more then a few weeks, if that. Nice job by the homeowner in preparing the home for sale - and the agent for pricing it right.
