This is a beautifully maintained brick home in the coveted Fallsreach community. Built in the early 1980's this community was a move up community from some of the smaller older communities in Potomac. With a great location and the Churchill High School cluster - this community is always in high demand.

This home is lovely. With meticulously maintained landscaping and lovely exterior the home is certainly inviting. When the landscape is manicured this often foreshadows a similarly maintained interior. This home does not dissapoint.

With hardwood foyer and lovely decor this home is a turnkey solution for someone looking for a 4 bedroom home in Potomac. The Living room and dining room are tastefully decorated. The dining area leads you into a white kitchen with tile floor. Although a bit dated - the kitchen is so well maintained you could easily wait a few years before updating. The family room looks out on the back yard which matched the front - there must be a green thumb in this home. It is pristine!

The upstairs has 3 good size bedrooms, one of them with a separate bath - a few with wallpaper. The hall bath is not new, but has been updated. The Master bedroom is nicely done with plenty of room. The bath is original but in fine shape.

The basement is finished in carpet with a bedroom and en-suite bath for a Nanny or guests. Plenty of storage in the unfinished area and play space for the kids.

This home has been kept in great shape and shows beautifully. The cul-de-sac location just adds to the value. Although the asking price of $995,000 is tops in the neighborhood for the past year - this home warrants the price. The market is getting hotter and homes below one-million are in high demand. Low inventory is putting us back into a multiple offer environment. Look for this one to sell around $950K. If more then one offer comes in on this one - it could break the $1mm mark!

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 thinking 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 slate patio in front. The unit is not unattractive with a lovely brick veneer. The front door is freshly painted, 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 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.
