605 Watts Branch Pkwy Potomac MD 20854


This nicely updated  4 BR, 2.5 BA home is in the Saddlebrook subdivision, between the Rockshire and Fallsmead neighborhoods. The owners have done a nice job with renovations and have taken advantage of the lovely views to the rear yard.

Entering into a charming entry foyer with hardwood floors and classic molding, the living room is on the left and the family room on the right. With the exception of the pink carpet, the living room and dining room are ready for entertaining.It is unlikely that there is hardwood under these carpets as these homes were not built with hardwood flooring. The dining room has been upgraded with a large bay window overlooking the rear yard.  The family room has hardwood floors and a beautiful slate fireplace as well as French doors opening to the deck. The kitchen has been nicely renovated with quartz counters, white cabinets and hardwood flooring. A half bath completes this level.

Upstairs are 4 well-sized bedrooms and two baths. The hall has hardwood floors and the bedrooms are all carpeted. Both baths have been nicely renovated with neutral porcelain tile floors and new fixtures.
The hall bath retains its original shower/tub and wall tile, but the owners'  bath shower has been completely renovated in porcelain tile. All three additional bedrooms are of similar size.


The lower level has been finished with a drop ceiling and green berber style carpeting. The laundry and a storage room are located in this lower level.

Upgrades to the exterior of this house include replaced siding and windows, cement and brick walkway and stoop and new landscaping.

The large back yard offers privacy and wooded views.

Watts Branch Parkway is a double yellow lined street and can get traffic,  particularly at rush hour.

There is no HOA in this neighborhood. The home is located in a Potomac zip code but is located with the city limits of Rockville. An outdoor pool, located in the next neighborhood of Rockshire,  has available outside memberships.

There is no garage, but there is a short driveway  for off street parking.

Similar sized homes in similar condition, but with a garage (or a converted garage) have sold  between $625,000 and $635,000. A similar sized home with a one car garage in extraordinary condition and with n additional full bath in the basement, recently sold for $660,000. The two homes that sold for $635,000 and $660,000 were both located on cul-de-sacs. The home that sold for $625,000 was on a double yellow lined street and had a one car garage, hardwoods on the first level, a small addition, a porch and basement half bath.
