6 Travilah Terrace - Darnstown Outside - $1,099,999



Listed by ReMax

This is a large contemporary home in Potomac near the intersection of River and Travilah Roads.

When you drive into this small community you can see the home sitting up on a knoll on the left side of the street. The 2 acre lot is pretty and the home looks huge. It is a long house with some great modern windows and architectural features.

When you enter the foyer of the home you immediately realize that the first impression of size was decieving. The home is long and very narrow. In some spots only one room deep.

There are some dramatic elements to this home. Anyone with a love of contemporary design will find it interesting. They will ultimately have to weigh its practicality when determining its value.

It is certainly worth seeing if you are a fan of modern design. Lots of step ups and step downs define the spaces without the need for formal walls. The master bedroom is a whole wing of the home and features a loft and fireplace. The other 4 bedrooms are all decent size and are strung across the front of the home.

The finish level in this home is not what I would expect from a Million plus listing. Some of the materials and craftmanship seem to be "builder grade" and you don't get a feeling that this is built to custom home specifications.

Currently this home is bank owned. Suntrust is requiring the potential purchaser get "pre-approved" with them before negotiating. This does not mean that it is mandatory to use them, just qualify with them. This step assures the bank that the potential purchaser is qualifed and has the ability to buy.

While this home will not be to everyones taste, it will be super attractive to some. I think the list price has lots of room for negotiation. I wouldn't be surprised to see this one go at just above a million.
