This is crazy, right? Is 1+ acre in S Arlington really worth close to $5M?

| So much ugly tile and ivy (where rats love to live). There's a lot to like about it though, if you don't mind stairs. |

| It's really ugly, but an acre is a lot. |

| An acre is enormous for Arlington. Can they missing middle put 4 or 6 units on that? |

OP here, I’m thinking they must be angling for a developer who theoretically could subdivide the lot into a bunch of 7000 sq ft parcels with 2/3 narrow multifamily units on each. Not sure who else would buy given proximity to 395. |

That's the only value this property would have, otherwise, it's next to a busy HW and the airport. It's walkable to crystal city and Amazon likely, so any "secluded" large size estate would command premium as a luxury product that's scarce in mostly multifamily communities. |

It's delulu price even for a developer, but they could capitalize on it by subdividing or building a larger multifamily. For a person wanting a private estate and a large older home residential parts of nearby suburbia are better value. You can buy a brand new luxury home in residential Arlington or Mclean on .5 acre for less than this, on 1 acre there are older mcMansions for this price. |

| Unless you can setup a toll booth on 395 it’s not worth it. |

I’m dizzy going through the pictures - so many stairs, turns, rooms, kinda lost my orientation in the 6k sqft house.
Where’s the golf course view? |
