Fox Hills is a very large community on the South side of Tuckerman Lane east of Gainsborough. Built in the late 1960's - the community has been updated over the years and is one of the best choices for those looking for a home below $1mm in Potomac.

This home is on a quiet street with a nicely landscaped yard. The foyer is bright with black and white tile. The family room is to the right with a nice fireplace centered on the wall. The living room is on the left with lovely hardwood leading back to the dining room. The dining room is typical for a home of this era - with a french door leading out to a narrow screened porch.

The kitchen has been updated with cream cabinets and solid surfaced counters. The island is topped with ceramic tile - that may or not be to your taste. The flooring is terra cotta tile - which seems to be in great shape for its age. The appliances, while not new - are in good condition. there is a table space breakfast area which gets great light from the sliding glass door leading outside.

There is a large 2 story addition behind the garage along the back of the house. With cathedral ceilings and an open loft - this is lovely space. A circular stair brings you to the second level which has been outfitted as a large home office. A stand alone wood stove provides extra heat on those cold winter days.

The upstairs has 3 large bedrooms that share an original hall bath. The master bedroom has a connecting door to the home office addition and the master bath room has been completely renovated with granite tops and new shower. Although not large - it is nice space and the access to the office loft makes for convenient access.

The basement is fully excavated - which is unusual for a Fox Hills home. Most are only half excavated. Half of the space is finished here - but the work is dated and could use an update. There is a walkout slider to the backyard. Although this lot is nice size - it is completely wooded. There is not a usable back yard which will take this home out of contention for many. On the flip side - your yard work will be minimal.

This is priced at the upper end of the range for Fox Hills - but it is also a bit larger with the 2 story addition. The market is hot in this price range - so I cannot blame the owner and agent for trying for a premium. I think this home should sell within 5% of its list price within 30 days.
