Deal of the Year in Darnestown?
December 6th, 2011 Categories: Darnestown, Foreclosures

This bank-owned home in Finegan Farm in Darnestown came on the market in late summer. At the time I said this was a screaming deal at $1.1M. I know that they had an at least one offer over $1M in the summer, but a mix of inflexibility and unresponsiveness killed that deal. I’m sure they had others. It finally closed today with a final price – $955,000. Shockingly low. This price would be understandable if this home was in poor condition, but it wasn’t. Properly marketed and negotiated, this home should have settled for something closer to $1.2M.
Fabulous Foreclosure in Finegan Farm
August 9th, 2011 Categories: Darnestown, Foreclosures, HOTW

It’s rare to describe a foreclosure that ‘shows like a model’, but this is the best way to describe huge, bank-owned Craftmark home. It’s a massive home with about 10,000 square feet of living space on four finished levels. Flooring is top-notch throughout – hardwood floors on the main level, premium textured carpet and premium ceramic tile in all the baths. The kitchen has premium cherry caps, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. At $1.1M, this is easily the best deal Read the rest of this entry »
$9.9M Home in Darnestown
August 4th, 2011 Categories: Darnestown, HOTW, Luxury Homes

This sprawling brick estate features 35 acres, 9-hole golf course, pool, tennis court, basketball court and guest house.
Nice. Very nice indeed. The most breath-taking feature of this home, however, is it’s asking price at $9,900,000. Darnestown and North Potomac are amazing places to live, but super-affluent buyers in this area flock to Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Potomac (here’s an update of the luxury market in Montgomery County).

Notes from Tuesday Home Tour
July 28th, 2009 Categories: Darnestown, Foreclosures, Potomac
Tuesdays are traditionally a day for real estate agents in the area to preview homes and hold Broker’s Opens. I took a look at a few homes with acreage in Potomac and Darnestown. Here’s my impression of the most interesting ones I saw today.
Bank Owned in Potomac
I get a lot of questions about foreclosures in Potomac. Normally, there isn’t much to report. Today’s the exception. 19 Pettit Court came on the market on July 26th, is priced at $964,900 and is listed by Long and Foster. This home has 3,900 sq feet of living space on the main two levels, sits on 2 acres and has a nice pool in back. All the kitchen appliances and some light fixtures have been removed, but it’s in good showing condition. The master suite and another bedroom is on the main level, and the upper level has 3 bedrooms. A buyer would likely update bathrooms, replace some carpet and paint. The cedar shake roof looks like it might be original (the home was built in 1978), but it’s hard to tell with cedar shake. No funky smells and no obvious abuse. Overall, I liked it. It’s definitely priced to sell. The previous owners paid $1,404,000 in 2005.
A Trip Back to the 1970s
13500 Deakins Lane in Darnestown sits on a jaw-droppingly beautiful lot of 13.5 acres. One could mistake the manicured back yard for a country club. This home really gives off a strong vibe. I’ve never met the owners, but I would bet this home has seen a lot of good times. There’s definitely a lot of love here — sounds corny, but that’s how it feels. The interior decor is a time capsule of the 1970s — the shag carpet, the bold wall paper, the wood paneling — its all here. I’m guessing that the buyer will fall in love with the lot and won’t mind bringing the home up to date. It’s currently priced at $1,395,000. Andrea Alderdice with W.C. & A.N. Miller/Long & Foster is the listing agent.
One Level Living with Nice Acreage
13520 Deakins Lane in Darnestown is listed for $1,199,000. It sits on over 8 acres and has quite a regal approach. The rooms are big and the hardwood floors are very nice. The kitchen has been upgraded and every view outside is fantastic. Built in 1964, it has some quirks. The super low ceilings in the basement reduce the utility of the lower level. I think the buyer on this home will place a high value on the main level layout and the privacy of the lot. Andrea Alderdice with W.C. & A.N. Miller/Long & Foster also the listing agent on this property.

Darnestown real estate year-end review
December 29th, 2008 Categories: Darnestown
We love Darnestown and do a lot of business here. Inventory here has been high this year. Especially for homes priced over $1 million, the market has seemed slow. Just looking at sales over the last two years, the total number of sales is down 28%. The first waves of the credit crunch hit in the fall of 2007 which carried into 2008. Compared to last year, sales were down nearly 40% for the 1st half of the year. Sales in the 2nd half Read the rest of this entry »
