11713 Ambleside Drive - Roberts Glen - $749,000

Listed by Remax

Google Map Here

>Roberts Glen is a lovely community just off Glen Road in Potomac. In the Churchill Cluster, this home is a great single family at a fantastic price.

It MUST be spring. It seems everywhere I turn another gem comes on the market. It is even more gratifying when the home is priced below $800K. This 4 bedroom colonial has been completely updated. You could move in tomorrow, and not need to do a thing. These turnkey homes are selling quickly if they are priced right, and this one is priced right.

This home has great curb appeal. On 1/3 acre, this home has nice lawn and landscape as well as a picket fenced back yard. The front doorway has a sheltered entry that leads to a traditional hardwood foyer. The rooms are not super large, but have great scale. The living room and dining room and family room all have hardwood floors. The kitchen is in great shape. Recently updated with granite counter tops there is also a breakfast area with space for a family size table.

Upstairs has the master bedroom with full bath and 3 additional bedrooms. The bedrooms are not too large, but certainly kid size. The hall bath is plenty big to handle traffic from these 3 bedrooms. Lets just hope the rooms are not filled with teen girls.

The basement is finished with a full bath. Plenty of room here for TV or recreation. There is also a screened porch on the back of the home ready to entertain guest in the cool fall and spring evenings. A brick patio is adjacent for a chaise lounge to sunbathe.

This one shows too well to stay around long. (Ignore the missing shutter in front...it is being repaired) Do you have interest in this price range? Can I assist you in writing a contract on this gem? Let me know! This one will go for around $725K unless there are multiple offers.

CONTRACT - 11904 Coldstream Drive - Highland Stone - $649,000

Listed by Weichert

Google Map Here

This home is located in the Highland Stone community. This affordable community is east of Falls Road between Victory and Liberty Lanes.

Potomac below $700K? That is a hard price point to find, especially in a single family home. This 1966 split level is a fabulous opportunity for someone looking for a home in the Winston Churchill H.S. cluster.

This home has great curb appeal. The yard is nicely tended and the front door is freshly painted a colonial red color. The foyer is bright with nice paint and you may step up to the living room from this spot. The living room is large with great natural light from the large bay window to the front. The dining room is decent size and has a door into the kitchen. The kitchen, although older, is in good shape. There is a great island in the middle of the kitchen which will accommodate stools to eat a quick meal, or allow your guest to watch the host cook. A table spaced breakfast area is on the other side, looking out as a very pretty, tidy backyard. There is also a laundry room with an exterior door adjacent to the kitchen. This is a nice feature unusual in splits of this style. The basement is unfinished with plenty of room for storage.

This home is in great condition and shows well. It has been properly priced, and I think it should sell within 30 days. It is one of the better homes I have seen at this price point in the Churchill cluster. Don't wait, this will be under contract before you know it.

9520 Falls Bridge Lane - Heritage Farm - $1,147,000

Listed By WC and AN Miller

Google Map Here

I will disclose in advance that this is one of my favorite communities in Potomac. Located within walking distance from the village, it is a hop skip and jump to anywhere you want to go.

This is one of the largest colonials in this community. A formal foyer is bright with hardwood floors and nice mouldings. A large living room is on your right side and a panelled office and powder room on your left. You flow from the foyer into the family room which is large with lots of sunlight. The full wall of windows in the back of this room allows the natural light to stream in. The stone fireplace and built in cabinets make this a great room to relax and watch TV.

The kitchen is recently renovated, and is well done. The back wall has a slider and additional windows were installed behind the sink and counter tops. The natural light from the windows and quality white cabinets make the room look fabulous. This is a great kitchen to cook and to entertain. The slider leads you out to a large TREX sundeck that overlooks the manicured half acre lot. The dining room is large enough to seat 10 easily. It is hard to find a home that will allow you to entertain formally and informally with equal ease. The main level finishes with a large laundry/mudroom between the family room and garage. This is a great space for the kids to store coats and boots during the winter months and not drag mud through the house.

A curved stairwell brings you upstairs. A large master bedroom and connected bath and dressing area are well designed. These have been updated at some point with cultured marble sinks. There is an attached sitting room that could be an additional bedroom if needed. A large walk in closet as well as 2 additional closets make storage a breeze. The other bedrooms are all teen size and in great condition. The decor and finish of this home is exceptional.

The basement is a nice surprise. A full walkout, it has a bedroom and kitchen just right for an au pair apartment. A bath and plenty of space for TV or recreation finish out the basement.

This is a home with an exceptional floor plan. They do not come up often for sale in this community, and this one is ready to move in. I think it is priced perfectly, and it should sell within 30 days at close to full price. Don't miss this one. It is a great home in a wonderful community!

10306 Norton Road - River Oaks Farm - $1,825,000

Listed By WFP

Norton Road has a nice collection of homes on spacious 2 acre lots. Located halfway between South Glen and River Road, this home is convenient to everything.

This is a very pretty home from the street. With extensive landscaping and a circular driveway, this home has great curb appeal.

The home is a expanded brick colonial with stately columns in front. You walk in to the foyer and know right away you are in for a treat. The home is tastefully painted and decorated. Gleaming hardwood floors and elaborate moulding draw you to the back side of the home.

The kitchen is fabulous. Extremely large and perfectly outfitted it is a cooks dream. It is wide open with high end appliances and plenty of room for food preparation and storage. An extensive counter surrounds the kitchen where stools allow your guests to relax while food is being prepared. This counter also serves as a perfect boundary between the kitchen and living area. A breakfast area along the back wall of the home is large and well illuminated. Adjacent to this area is a large laundry area and exit to the garage.

The family room is large with cathedral ceilings and skylights. The back of the home has been expanded to add this space and the enlarged kitchen. No expense was spared when the work was done and it shows.

The upstairs has a Master suite and 3 additional bedrooms. The rooms are all large, but not overdone. The master bedroom has a great fireplace and modest full bath with granite tops. The kids rooms are nicely decorated and SO clean. (Do kids really live here?) I opened a door thinking it was a closet only to find an elevator. What a great feature to have in a home of this size.

The basement is finished with a bedroom and full bath. A fireplace and exercise room and plenty of room for storage. There is plenty of room for a home theatre if one is needed.

The back yard is large with plenty of room for pool and pool house if wanted in the future. A separate 2 car garage is on the left side of the home. This space has great potential to be expanded in the future.

If you have the ability to purchase in the $1.8mm range, this home should be on your short list. You can move in without any need for upgrade or repair. The 2 acre lot has great potential for the future, and the location cannot be beat. The agent priced this home right, and should sell within 5% of list price.
