It is unusual for me to look at a home's address in Potomac and not know where it is located. I was unfamiliar with the "Falls Farm" subdivision. Not much goes on the market for sale here - which is usually a good omen for a community. When people like where they live - they stay.

Falls Farm is on the northwest side of Falls Road near Copenhaver. Built in 1997 by Kettler Brothers, it is a relatively new community for close in Potomac. There is only one entry - on Falls Farm Drive. I have been passing it on Falls Road for years and never pulled in. It was nice to see a community that is well maintained and beloved by its owners.

This home is a brick colonial with nice curb appeal. The foyer is 2 story and adds a sense of space to the first level. Hardwood flooring here is light oak and continues through the formal space in the living room, dining room and den/office. The kitchen is large and bright with a long island. Corian counters are a bit dated - but cabinets and appliances are nice. Anyone that really wanted to update would only have to spring for some granite to update the space. A large breakfast room is added on the back of the kitchen with doors out to a lovely deck.

The upstairs is carpeted - typical of homes built in the late 90's. Bedrooms are teen size and nicely painted. The master is large with 2 large walk-in closets. Plenty of space for wardrobe and shoes. The master bath is white tile and gold accents. This can be updated if need be - but looks fine as it is.

The basement is large and unfinished. It has a step down and an exit to the outside. There is plenty of space here to add bedrooms or home theatre. There is also a rough-in for a bath for the next owner to utilize.

This is a nice home in a lovely community. Not much has sold in this community since it was built in the late 1990's. It is hard to gauge a price. I think it has been priced reasonably based upon the information available. There may need to be some adjustment - as there is a lot of inventory in this price range. The home is adjacent to power lines which is going to turn some buyers away. Time will tell to see if this home will sell or be reduced. Stay tuned - I will update you on what happens.
