I have been spending a lot of time in this neighborhood over the last few weeks. The more time I spend here, the more I like it. Great location and great schools make this community and easy sell. With well tended landscapes and larger lots - this community has moved up on my must see list for Potomac buyers.

This home sits on one of the nicest lots I have seen this year. With over a half acre - this lot has lovely trees - but enough sunlight for a fabulous lawn. I was joking with one of my buyers that I would kill for a yard like this one. The home has great curb appeal. A wide driveway provides access to the separate 2 car garage and additional driveway parking for those with larger families.

The entry is covered and opens into a nice foyer that opens into a large living room. The dining room flows through to the back of the home and looks out on the lovely back yard. There is a first floor guest suite tucked away to the left of the foyer with its own full bath. A great location for a room - and out of the way of the family for privacy.

The family room is square with a fireplace on the far wall. Barnwood accents may not be to everyone's taste, but is easily removed. A sun room has been built behind the Family room with access directly. Good size and done in ceramic tile, this room can be used for three seasons or more. Windows keep out the cold and let in the sun heating this area even during the chilly fall. This is a great add on for this home.

The kitchen has been beautifully renovated with stainless and granite. A large breakfast area looks out onto the side yard with plenty of space for all around the table. The laundry area is in a mudroom area adjacent to the breakfast room.

The upstairs has tired green carpet leading up the stairs and halls - but this is easily replaced. The master bedroom is small for Potomac - but has good closet space and a surprise exterior door in the walk-in closet. Open the door and you have your own private sun deck that occupies the roof of the sun room downstairs. The master bath is a blast from the past. Green laquer cabinets match the carpet outside. Mirrors galore and a sunken green soaking tub with brass fixtures. Very early 1980's. This would be on my short list of things to replace if I were the new buyer.

The other 3 bedrooms upstairs are good size and share a updated hall bath. There is good light in all of these rooms - and any kid would be happy to grow up here.

The basement is huge! It is partially finished (and well done) and includes a half bath. Although the finished area is not super large - there is plenty of space for expansion should the new homeowner want to add to the space.

Although I love this house and lot - it is priced a bit too high for the neighborhood. Even with all this home has going for it - it has too much other competition in Potomac to sell for $995K. Look at this one to sell for between $935K and $960K when all is said and done.
