| The kitchen seems small for a house at that price point. Also would expect an updated basement |

At the price, I expect a non-terrible kitchen.
Extra-credit question: What is the point of photo 21 |

| because there are so many other houses to choose from at $2,350,000? |

| I'm left handed, that stove placement is a deal breaker for me. |

| Overpriced, tiny kitchen, no land. |

| It's an older home at new construction price. Kitchen and basement give clear old home limitation vibes. |

| Because it's overpriced. |

These were the 2 drawbacks that immediately jumped out to me for that price point. Also, a lot of the homes in this price range often have 5+ bedrooms. I point this out as someone with 3 kids who would love a designated guest room and bedroom for each kid if I had this type of money to spend. However the huge open windows on the main level could have me overlooking that because I’m obsessed with natural light. If I had the budget to buy a $2m+ house, I would seriously consider a nicely updated home like this over the generic new construction on the market. But it was priced really high (almost $2.7 to begin with), which probably cooled the buyer pool for this home. And personally I enjoy living in the more walkable part of Arlington along the orange line (my house is nowhere this nice nor worth this much though!). So I think someone able to spend over $2m and wanting to live somewhere that is a bit more car dependent may be looking for newer construction/more square footage. Which is a shame because this house is so much more charming than most the new construction stuff on the market. |

| Because that's very nearly new construction money. |

| Pricing, mostly. They started way too high and are still too high. |

| $2.4 million with a $500 slide in range, non-counter depth fridge, and 30 year old cabinets? Hell no. |
