Just Listed: End Unit, Garage Townhouse for $384,900 in Braemar
Today I hit the go button for this beautiful end unit, garage townhouse in Braemar located at 9619 Innerwick Place. The sellers contacted me last summer about listing their home and that is when we discussed home preparation and what they could do to get ready for market. Mind you, at the time they had no immediate plan to list. It is never too early to consult with your Listing Agent and get solid advice on what projects to undertake and which ones are a waste of time and money.
In the case of the preparation that was done to ready this three bedroom, two full bath, two half bath townhouse, the list is simple, but what an impact it made. For starters, the sellers put in new carpet and neutralized the interior paint. The main level hardwood flooring was a great selling feature, but had some wear from the sun beating in those front south facing windows. A total refinish of the entire main level’s hardwood flooring to a walnut color was completed a week before hitting the market. Those floors are as smooth and shiny as a bowling alley floor now.
With a two level bump out, this townhouse benefits from expansive recreation space on the lowest/entry level and a family room on the second/main level off the kitchen. Normally, these townhouses would stop with that kitchen and breakfast nook area, leaving the living and dining room space in the front of the home. With the family room addition on the main level, the current owners were able to use the front living/dining room as a large dining room for family gatherings and game nights.
The kitchen is the heart of the main level floor plan, complete with an island and plenty of counter space. The transition to stainless steel appliances is already underway. Enjoy a stainless steel electric range and dishwasher. The kitchen is open to the breakfast nook to one side and open to the family room with gas fireplace on another end.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the master suite being one each with a walk-in closet. While the bedroom is more than enough size wise, the bathroom boasts double sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower.
Down the hall are the secondary bedrooms. The smallest of which, measuring a little over eight feet by 9 feet makes a perfect nursery or office. The larger of the secondary bedroom is more generously sized at ten by ten. The full bathroom off the hallway has a tub shower combo with a single vanity, but with extended counter space and linen closet inside the bathroom itself. Smart!
One I the things I love about this home is the outdoor space. Off the family room on the main level is an expansive deck that overlooks the neighboring community of Dunbarton. It’s quite a nice view and not sun soaked, making it unusable in the summer. On the contrary, it is a northerly exposure spending most of the day in the shade.
Below the deck and accessible by way of the basement recreation room walk out exit is a fully fenced back yard, done in the privacy board on board style, complete with a patio and large hot tub. Ahhhhh! Why more agents don’t show you what’s underneath the hot tub cover is beyond me. Have a peek.
The full size washer and dryer are located in the basement behind louvered bi-fold doors. Another important, yet often overlooked convenience, is the fact that there is a bathroom on every level. Yes, the basement and second level have powder rooms. There need be no stairs involved in your journey to heed nature’s call.

Like the last quarter of 2012, there were only two resales of Braemar condos in the first quarter of 2013.
