Curious to get feedback from the group on this house in Fort Hunt. It looks unique compared to a lot of the 50s construction split level homes in the area.

Ideally a 4 bed/3 bath 2,750+ sqft home w/ decent commute to downtown. Fort Hunt has been described as an ideal small community feel in a large city/county. We’ve toured Arlington, but every home we’ve visited is off a busy street. |

| I like it, seems move-in condition. Seems like a great family house, remodel looks well-done. Not a huge fan of the wood plank [flooring?] ceilings tho. |

| The wood plank is a little weird |

| Somehow it manages to have a lot going on yet lack personality. |

| I like it a lot. Much better than some of the overdone remodels, doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the neighborhood, has plenty of space, and move in ready. |

| It's strange. I don't care for the floorpan, starting with the front door that opens into a tiny foyer where the first thing you see is the powder room. |

| The commute to downtown is generally going to be longer than commutes from Arlington. With more people driving, the traffic is generally getting worse. It’s a great area and the commute is worth it to us, but just be aware. |

OP, Where/how are you commuting downtown?
Besides Arlington, any other areas that you looked at? Do you want public/private schools? Budget? Many years ago, DH and I were priced out of Arlington and moved to Fairfax County. We are near the WFC metro and Tysons - I commute into DC using metro. Still happy with our decision. |

| It's a weird house. I would not consider it. |

| The paneling makes it feel like living in a yurt or something. So odd. Also why two pedestal sinks in one bathroom? Did they run out of money on the reno? |
