Winterset is a gem of a neighborhood that runs parallel to Glen Road in Potomac. Built in the early 1980's - these homes have it all. Great location, great schools and great floor plans keep the neighborhood in demand.

This home is tucked off of Winterset Drive on Winterset Terrace. With just over a third of an acre - this home is screened by trees in the front. When you peek in behind the trees the home is pretty - frame built with natural stone highlights and chimney. The yard is well kept and the slate walk leading to the front door gives it good curb appeal.

The foyer is spacious with a living room on the left and a dining room with fireplace on the right. The wide hall adjacent to the stairwell leads back to a large open family room. The room is large with windows all along the back of the house. The light just amplifies the space. The kitchen is large and updated with granite and high end appliances. Especially cute is a corner pantry with a etched glass door.

There is lots of square footage in the kitchen and family room. This space is open and great for entertaining. There are closets galore for storage of coats, pots and pans and Costco groceries. There is a room with washer and dryer that has built in "lockers" for kids to store coats, backpacks and instruments. Anyone with kids will appreciate this lovely touch. The back of the house has a nice tiered stone patio and a grassed area for the kids to play. Although not deep - this space is more than adequate for everyday play and entertaining.

The master suite is also on the first level. Tucked in behind the stairs - the room is large with a wonderful master bath suite. This home is a must see for those that want a downstairs master - a tough find in the Potomac market.

Upstairs there are 4 large bedrooms. One is located above the master bedroom and has it's own bath. This would be perfect for a guest room or nanny. The other 3 bedrooms are large - one can be further enlarged by opening a set of pocket doors. Once again - there is plenty of space in this home. There is a laundry room here (and downstairs) with closets for linens and towels for the baths. The bathrooms have been cleverly updated with bead board and look nice. Although this is a design not everyone will like - it works in this home.

The basement is finished with a billiard room and large area for TV and video. There is a full bath here - and plenty of storage. The space is flexible and it is easy to picture "your" stuff here.

This is a lovely home - and a lovely neighborhood. Originally listed at $1,344,000 - this home has been reduced by $70K to its current price. Although this price may be justified by square footage - the house will find extreme competition in this price point. The home has been enlarged - but it is a bit out of balance. There are lots of other homes in this range in Potomac that have more to offer. This home may find a buyer at this price - but more likely closer to its assessed value when all is said and done.
