Sandy Spring/Olney

"You can re-imagine this space in so many different ways," says John as he and Christine tour a 4 bedroom, 2.1 bath home in the Olney Mill neighborhood -- and it's easy to see why. What the home is lacking in updates, it makes up for in potential. All it needs is a little TLC, according to realtor Karen Rollings.

With a pool, a remodeled open concept kitchen/living area and a basement bar, this 4 bedroom, 2.1 bath Olney Mill home is an entertainer's dream. From exposed beams on the main floor to a weathered accent wall in the master bedroom, the style is very "shabby chic." It's gorgeous, but the finishes and the neighborhood make guessing the list price a challenge. How did John and Christine fare?

John and Christine are blown away by the space and details in this 6 bedroom, 4.5 bath home in Sandy Spring. At over 3,800 square feet, "There's a room for everybody," says Christine. The detailed molding and trim give the home an elegant feel, and large windows bring in the natural light. With the primary suite on the main level, this home is setup for aging in place -- which is a good thing sinc

Sandy Spring, MD was first settled in 1728 as a predominantly Quaker farming community dependent on slave labor. Between the 1770s and 1820s Quakers in Sandy Spring manumitted their slaves and many of the formerly enslaved families remained in the area as wage workers. As the home to a proud free Black population, the village was an oasis of sorts, surrounded by slave holding plantations.
