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

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.

It’s DCUM. Most astute posters here have homes in great school districts that look like a Pottery Barn (maybe a bad comparison since that isn’t pricey enough).

You don’t have to do anything unless you want the house to look like a magazine spread.

Idc I can deal with an outdated kitchen for a house that big, W school, and to get to say I live in Potomac.

The original owners (?) really liked the brown and red combo.

And it is ugly.

Lots of original features. But it is functional and a big house. It’s a good value.

I agree. But for the location, size, and lot, you just knew it had to be bad on the inside. The nice thing is that the disastrous kitchen and bathrooms are generously sized, so it will make renovations a bit easier.

Not realtor but I noticed that street is right by two day care centers and library. Like a tops two minute walk. If you are dual working parents makes life easy. They sell I think for that reason and that one block has "affordable" homes for Potomac in the 5 bedroom size.

I noticed in 2017 when sold it went pretty cheap. So I assume all orginial. Lets see if new owners did anything.

This is perfect location if you have tweens, what is the catch. No inside pictures so am I assuming the worst.
