The house is functional and safe, I can't understand spending $100,000+ on "renovations" to remove perfectly good cabinets and toss them in a landfill to replace them with more cabinets. Yes, some of that wall paper is pretty terrible and should go, but that's a minor fix. It's odd to me that people who purport to care about the environment insist that a house is not OK unless it looks like a current magazine photo.

I can imagine the owner saying the appliances are perfectly good and in working order including the stove.

It absolutely will. The size, the schools, the location… even if it needs some work, this is a middle (maybe bordering on slightly upper middle) class family’s dream location IMO.

This area of Potomac is one of the most underrated areas in the country.

How so? It's not like this house is 500K It's a seven figure house in what looks like a rural area in the middle of nowhere with a cluster of strip mall convenience shopping. Everything else you have to drive to, and it's far from hwys. I don't see abundance of amenities there, unless you spend your days golfing

I don’t get this obsession with “amenities” and “walkability”. Everything is a short hop away.

I agree plus it's 10 min from 270 and 495 -- is that far?? And yes you can walk to the "cluster of strip mall shopping" which has literally everything you need (multiple grocery stores, Starbucks, fast food and nicer restaurants, Walgreens, hardware store, urgent care, nail places, exercise studios)

when were 5 bedrooms houses 500K last in Potomac walking distance to Village? I live near there. has to be at least the late 1980s. I live near that house and my house sold in 1992 for $600K and at time that was from orignal owners from 1975 and house had the brown and green appliances, formica counters, pink toliets etc. Was a fixer upper. I met original owners kids and she told me Dad bought it new when he had four kids already. Did nothing to it for 17 years at all and sold it as a fixer upper for 600k in 1992 I say a house in good condition in Potomac on a 1/2 acre on five bedrooms maybe 1985 for 500k in that part?

You missed the part where I reply to a very specific statement below:

This area of Potomac is one of the most underrated areas in the country.

With respect to the entire country, do you truly think this area is this special and comparatively cheaply priced?
