This home can be a case study on the value of "LOCATION" in real estate. This home is located on one of the most beautiful streets in Potomac.

When I moved to Potomac 25 years ago, I worked for a local Real Estate Broker that lived about a mile from this Bradley Farms enclave. He drove me through the community and described it as his favorite group of homes in Potomac. He made a believer out of me that day. It is still a favorite for me.

Over the years the community has evolved with the rest of Potomac. New homes have been built and old ones remodeled. What has remained consistent is the cache and reputation of the neighborhood. One home is nicer then the next.

This home on Fox Meadow is lovely. It is of understated design and quality build. Some would say it is "Old Money" design. While so many homes in Potomac are built to show off their money, this one is comfortable in its own skin. The designer had nothing to prove. After all, the lot IS in Bradley Farms.

This home has the feel of a farmhouse. Although every detail is exquisite, each room is comfortable and almost cozy. All of the public rooms are beautifully decorated and perfectly sized. The kitchen is recently re-done and will satisfy the most critical of cooks.

The upstairs has 4bedrooms and 3 full baths. The rooms all are good sized and have great closet space. The windows provide plenty of light and the hardwood floors gleam.

The master suite is not too large, although it is plenty big. This may not make sense until you see the space. It is perfectly proportioned. There is also a large family room upstairs for the kids. Very comfortable and spacious, I am envious of the space and wish I had half of this room in my home.

The basement is fully finished with space for an au-pair or domestic. The only downside to the space is low ceilings which make the basemet feel a bit smaller then it actually is.

The Lot is 3.83 acres and the home is beautifully sited at the high point on the lot. The pool is fenced with a concrete surround with plenty of space to lounge or entertain.

The home has a 2 car garage, but also has a separate garage building with 3 car bays. Upstairs is an additional 3 bedroom and 2 bath apartment with plenty of additional living space.

Is this home worth 3.95mm? Maybe the home is not, but on this lot and in this neighborhood it is. The fascinating fact is that this home is probably one of the smaller and more understated homes in this community. If you or anyone you know is looking in this price range, this is a "must see".
