Great Bones-- This solid two-story brick colonial has great bones and is located is a wonderful Brandywine neighborhood of Blue Rock Manor. It has been owned by the same family for over 45 years. The house does need updating and modernization and the price is reflective of that. Houses in the neighborhood of similar design have sold well into the $400 range.
The layout of this house is very practical for any buyer. You enter the home directly into the center hall with hardwood floors. To the left of the center hall is the large front to back living room with hardwood floors built in bookcase and a two-sided fireplace. On the other side of the fireplace is the bright family room with a sliding door to the back patio and large backyard. On the right side of the entry foyer the hardwood floors continue into the dining room that is adjacent to the kitchen with a door to the back yard. The back yard is quite large and multi-level with the lower level of the yard being very sunny and the perfect spot for a home gardener. In the lower level of the home are the washer and dryer, a large storage or workshop area and a recreation room with classic wood paneling. On the upper level are four nice sized bedrooms and one full shared bath. The primary bedroom does have a private half bath and interesting enough there are a set of walkup steps from the half bath to the attic.
The location of this house is hard to beat. Blue Rock Manor is conveniently located to local shopping and easy access to I95 and Wellseley Ave in particular is a very short street with minimal traffic and only steps from the Fairfax/Blue Rock Manor Park.
This is a well-built brick four-bedroom home that is underpriced because of the updates needed. If you are willing to put into the house the updates that are needed, you will have a great home with your personal touches that will fit your needs for a long time.
