ITA, it's way more space than we ever will need. it's the type of homes that require a full time housekeeper. Plus, for this price I would want much nicer finishes in bathrooms, they are so ugly and dated looking. The putting green is useless to me, I'd rather have a pool and a nice stone patio and a covered porch instead. Plus, for me honestly, if I had that much money to spend I'd be smack in the middle of the city in a nice victorian sending kids to private schools, that would be a no-brainer for me.

It's Langley HS territory, so you don't really need privates, but it's also not a bad location for people considering Potomac or Madeira, or looking to get on the Beltway to get to the Bethesda privates.

I was going to give you this. It's stately and so old-money it hurts, but it doesn't really fit in on its block (needs to be in Wesley Heights, maybe, rather than that block in Kalorama), so perhaps we need to keep looking:

So much more like it. Money so old, it's quite embarrassing how it may have been earned (like working guys to death in a Mass. textile plant or on the railroads). The house is as cold as grandmother's emotions. None of this new technology and computer money.

The Forest Hills house looks like an old-age retirement home from the outside. No wonder it's been on the market forever. Pass.

The second house on Tracy is better, even though it looks like the admissions office at a small liberal arts college. I'd be somewhat afraid that visitors would show up with their pimply kids in tow for an Amherst or Bowdoin interview. But, of the three houses shown, it's the winner.
