Listed by Long and FosterI brought some prospects to see this home late last year and it did not show well. It was withdrawn and showed up again on the market in late April at a reduced price. I decided to take a look at it again.
Accord Drive is a quiet street that is easily missed. Connecting River Road on one end, and a quiet Hall Road on the other, this street has a mix of old and new. This home is located on 1.16 acres with a large back yard. The home was built in 1960 and has just been updated. The kitchen has been completely redone and all of the old windows have been replaced. A fresh coat of paint, a thorough cleaning and some yard cleanup goes a long way to make a home look good.
I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the work done on this property. It has been dramatically improved since late last year and the price reduced. It leads me to believe the owners truly understand what needs to be done to get a home sold in this challenging market. Kudos to the agent as well. Pricing this home below $1mm is aggressive and smart. With the improvements on this home it should not last long, even in this market.
This home has an unusual floor plan. The front door takes you into a small foyer. Immediately to your left is the kitchen, and to the right a stairway to the basement. The dining room and family room are good size with a view of the backyard and pool. The windows let in plenty of natural light which enhance the refinished floors.
The upstairs has 3 smallish bedrooms and a decent size master suite. The baths have been upgraded and bedrooms are ready for occupants. The basement has a home theatre that I initially thought conveyed with the home but does not. Any offer should be sure to request the home theatre as part of the sale. A new full bath and decent size bedroom would be great Nanny or teen quarters. There is a funky smell in the basement. I am not sure if it is from moisture or possibly smoke from the previous resident.
This home is now priced well in this market. This home is convenient to the village (short walk)and part of the Churchill cluster. Anyone looking in this area that wants some acreage should put this home on their list to see. This should settle in the neighborhood of $950K to $975K once sold.
