This well cared for 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath bilevel home, offered at $560,000, is located on Hurley Avenue, across from Woottons Mill Park. The house has been nicely updated.
The entry foyer is small with oak stairs going up to the main living level and down to the family room and 2 car garage. Hardwood floors cover most of the main level- in the living room, hall and bedrooms. They have remodeled with crown molding, chair molding and recessed lighting. The dining room has been opened up to the kitchen and is also open to the living room. The kitchen has been nicely renovated with rich wood cabinets, Jenn-Air, stainless steel double ovens, stainless steel side-by-side refrigerator, gas cooktop and dishwasher. There are Pergo like floors, granite countertops and a breakfast bar. A nice-sized pantry cabinet gives good storage space. There is one kitchen drawer that will not open due to obstruction by the dishwasher- this may not be a difficult fix. A large deck extends across the entire back of the house and can be accessed through the dining room and the owners suite.
Three bedrooms are down a hall on the main level. All are good size (approximately 12 x14 and 10.5 x10.5 for the additional bedrooms) and nicely maintained. The two baths have been renovated with new tile walls and floors and new fixtures. The owners suite bath has a Jacuzzi tub and a corner shower.
A linen closet and coat closet are in the hallway.
The lower level has a spacious, beautiful family room with a lovely fireplace as its focal point.There are two windows in this room which bring in nice light. A half bath on this level has a door to the laundry room and utility area. A glass door entrance to the large 2 car garage should probably be switched out to a fire rated door. The garage is well lit and clean.
Well maintained, the exterior of the home has new windows and doors throughout, a large deck, replaced siding and a roof which appears to be in very good condition. The homeowner has brought gas to this home- where most in this area are all electric- so the furnace is gas fired and is fairly new, as is the air conditioner. The driveway and walkway are in good condition and there are nice brick retaining walls.
The lot is on the smaller side, with most of the back yard take up with the deck, although there is still some flat space beyond the deck.
Hurley Avenue can be a cut through street at commute hours ( there are, however, traffic calming measures in place), but the Ride-On bus to Rockville Metro is certainly very convenient. The tennis courts and community garden are in the park across the street, as are numerous walking paths. Giant Supermarket is very close to this home.
There is no HOA for this home.
According to the MCPS website, the residents of this home would currently attend Lakewood Elementary School, Robert Frost Middle School and Wootton High School. A bus takes the studens to Lakewood Elementary, but there is no school bus service to Frost or Wootton- they are within walking distance.
There have been very few bilevel homes on the market lately in this area. The last one, in similar condition, but on a cul-de-sac and without a garage ( the space was a room), sold in Dec 2010 for $550,000. Similarly sized split levels have sold in the last year between $517,000 and $560,000, depending on condition.
