Who knew there were 2 bedroom condos in Inverness Knolls? It was tough to find this unit, as it is behind and underneath town homes from the street. There is a whole line of these rear units that are set up as 2BR condos.

The walk around back to find this unit is interesting. There seems to be a lot of personality on the outside of the other units along the walk. Some over the top gardening and decor had me wondering if there was really a condo association that kept a reign on what the place looks like.

The condo has a small fenced front entry with a swinging gate in front. The unit is not unattractive with a lovely brick and siding veneer. The front door is freshly painted red, foreshadowing a complete rehab inside.

This small 744 square foot unit was completely gutted. A combo Kitchen, family room and breakfast area takes up the front of the condo. New wood floors and an attractive stainless and granite kitchen look great. There is decent light, even with the dense woods in front of the unit.

The 2 bedrooms are very small. I wondered if it would be better to consolidate the two rooms into one. The bathroom is small, but completely redone as well. Looks nice!

This is a nice, albeit small, two bedroom condo. I am not a fan of the physical location of the unit, but the community location is great. At $267,000 they are pretty close to market price. An identical unit sold for just over $360K early last year after concessions were paid.

I think the seller has done their research and has this priced properly. It should sell somewhere above $360K based upon previous sales. If the right person sees this unit - it could go for full price. See my review on the unit that sold early last year by clicking HERE.

Inverness Knolls is a lovely community of townhomes tucked in behind the Cabin John Shopping Center. Built in the late 1970's - these townhomes are all brick on the exterior and have really held up well. In the Churchill H.S. Cluster - this is a great starting point for families with school age kids.

This is one of the larger townhomes in the community. An end unit of a townhome group - this home has 1946 finished square feet of living area. Three bedrooms and two full baths upstairs and an additional full bath in the basement.

The home has been recently renovated. You walk into the foyer and the first thing you will notice is a wide expanse of dark hardwood flooring. The flooring has been installed throughout the top two levels and lends a rich look to the space. The kitchen is to the right side as you enter. Recently renovated - new appliances and granite countertops will please the most discriminating home cook. A large breakfast area with a bay window will accommodate a real kitchen table with space for six.

The back of the home has a large deck and small fenced yard. Beyond the fence is common area that backs to the Cabin John Regional Park. It is like having your own nature preserve in your back yard.

The basement is fully finished and has great open space. A fireplace, full bath, nanny bedroom and utility room are nicely meted out in a very efficent manner. This is one of the few townhomes I have seen that have basement space so well suited for a family or TV room.

Overall - this is a great home in a great community. Priced at $579,000 it is a great value. This was under contract before and the financing fell through. If you are looking at this price point in Potomac - put this home on your short list. I see this one settling at $569,000.

This small 744 square foot unit was completely gutted. A combo Kitchen, family room and breakfast area takes up the front of the condo. New wood floors and an attractive stainless and granite kitchen look great. There is decent light, even with the dense woods in front and the unit has been professionally staged.

The 2 bedrooms are very small. I wondered if it would be better to consolidate the two rooms into one. The bathroom is small, but completely redone as well. Looks nice!

This is a nice, albeit small, two bedroom condo. I am not a fan of the physical location of the unit, but the community location is great. At $300,000 they are asking top dollar. I am wondering if it would appraise at that price. The assessment of this property is only $200,000 for 2010.

I think it makes sense for the seller to shoot high and see if he can find a buyer. If this place has not sold at this price yet, it is priced too high. I see this one selling for between $260k and $270K when the papers are signed.

Inverness Knolls is a community of town homes located adjacent to the Cabin John Shopping Center just off Seven Locks Road. A great entry point to the Potomac market, these homes if priced right move quickly even in a tough market.

This is a nice frame townhome near the entrance to Inverness Knolls. With a bay window in front, this home has an inviting feel and good curb appeal.

The Home has nice tile in the foyer and a louver door going into the kitchen to your right. The kitchen is original with cream colored appliances and white 12x12 tile. It is functional, but could use an update in the near future. The bay window in the breakfast area allows lots of light in the kitchen. This is an attractive place to have your coffee and look out at your neighbors going to work.

The back of the home has new wood floors in the living room and dining room area. A slider opens to a deck looking out to a fenced back yard.

The upstairs has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The master bedroom is large and bright. The bath is original with white tile. The hall bath is large and also original. These could use some TLC in the near term.

The basement is finished with a prefab fireplace. A slider will take you out back where there is significant traffic noise from Seven Locks road. The noise does not really affect you inside the home, but those sensitive to noise will not spend a lot of time in the yard or on the deck. There is also a original half bath on this level.

This price range has been moving well in Potomac. The schools and location have kept prices more stable here then many other areas of Potomac. This town house is nice, but a bit aggressively priced. I see this one selling in the $500K-$510K range when all is said and done.

Inverness Knolls is a community of town homes adjacent to the Cabin John Shopping Center. They were built in and around 1985, and have always been a desirable location for those looking for Potomac schools.

There has been a lot of renovation in this community over the past 5-10 years. Some of the homes that have been updated are stunning. Wood floors, upgraded cabinets, built-ins and even home theaters. I always like to keep track on what is going on in this community.

This home has been beautifully upgraded. Every room, every floor, every window. The home is stunning. There is hardwood throughout the home, even in the basement. The baths have all been upgraded. The kitchen has been recently redone with granite and tasteful maple cabinets. The colors and decor is lovely.

This may be the first time I do not have anything critical to say about a home. Even the price is fair. At $570,000 you will be hard pressed to find a nice home in Potomac.

The rear of the home is built into a hill, so there is not a back yard to deal with. The back has been fully decked, and it is large enough to have a basketball standard out back to shoot foul shots.

Go see this one today. I do not think it will last a week at this price. Someone would be lucky to get this at $550K, but I see it selling closer to full price.

This is my Potomac Value of the Week.

This is a townhome in the Inverness Knoll community which is adjacent to the Cabin John Shopping Center.This is a nice community of townhomes with reasonable homeowner fees and part of the Churchill High School cluster.

This home is clean, shows well and is priced well. Although it still has the original kitchen and baths, they are in good shape and the home is in move in condition. The flooring throughout the first level is a light colored PERGO which is a nice touch.

There is nothing exciting about this townhome, but it is also priced low enough so a home buyer could make some of their own choices in upgrades. Priced at $510,000, this home is the least expensive currently in Inverness Knolls. Although the competition has been upgraded and shows better, it is also priced $35,000 higher. I suspect $10,000 can re-do the kitchen and buy enough paint to make this a star.

I see this home as the best value currently in Inverness Knolls. A smart buyer can probably pick this one up at $490,000.
