Most of those are older and need updating (I live in one). I get the appeal of a new home and that's why.
Hard no.

Yay! I’ve been waiting. So excited.
It's been on the market for 37 days, so evidently your excitement is just curiosity.

Looks like there was a daycare in the basement. Also, why is it connected to the neighbors at the garage?
Good question! I think ithe reason some of these are connected at the garage was because it was part of the compromise so the county would agreed to the development---or so I'm told. I think the ones connected are technically a duplex or something. I don't mind my house being connected, but it is kind of silly when you first see it.
A duplex would be more akin to a townhome. some of the hamlet collection had detached single family homes with 3 car garages which share the same garage wall as another hamlet detached single family home. I wouldn't classify it as a duplex.
As for the two homes that are recently listed for sale, IMO the Scout Lane listing clearly appears more luxurious and a better value/location than the Kip Terrace listing.
Paying 1.7 for anything with shared walls in this part of Maryland is ridiculous. That is why this house is still on the market. Who wants fake single family home that is actually a duplex. People pay a premium not to have their house connected to their neighbors.

That's great. I hope that means this thread will die, except that maybe someone can bump it in a few years and give us an update on resale prices.
Or if the school district gets rezoned.![]()
Look, just because they could take a group of the richest kids out of the entire cluster of Wootton, from a location that has no roots in the community, and move them to a poorer school that is literally down the road from Mt. Prospect does not mean they'll do it. They have so many other options. For example, they could take some of the poorest kids out of the Wootton cluster and move them to Crown instead. I think that would be best for everybody because my house value wouldn't go down.
