This. It's a gorgeous house, but the location sucks.

Actually living within the city limits of Rockville is pretty awesome. Their city services are incredible. I live in Rockville and that’s one of the huge plusses.

I like it, but the back yard looks like a rec center.

Yeah, that’s a really bland and underwhelming kitchen, isn’t it? Surprising given the rest.

My first thought too - that's not a $5M kitchen!

This house isn’t within the city limits though, or close to them. I think it’s funny that people are still so enraged by the mention of “North Bethesda”. That’s what the area is officially called, like it or not. And the notion that Bethesda is some highly prestigious place to live is outmoded too, given how expensive all of the DMV has become.

Posters like you are very dated in your thinking.

The OFFICIAL (on land deeds) name of this area is now North Bethesda.

Let go of your snarky, "I grew up around here and that is really Rockville."

Time moves on. Names change. White Flint mall, for example, is not there anymore. The metro stop is going to be renamed "North Bethesda."

I guess WMATA did not consult all the posters who think the area is really "Rockville."

Let it go people.

I saw the house the last time it was on the market and sold for $1,475,000 in 2016. The only upgrade I’m noticing is the new 7 car garage. May be they did a bathroom or two. I don’t understand the justification for asking $4.8 million. It’s a very nice house and has alot of nice features but how can it have tripled in 6 years when they had so much trouble selling it the last time.

How does it compare to this one:

https://www.redfin.com/VA/Arlington/3170-N-Quincy-St-22207/home/175200534?600390594=copy_variant&231528114=control&utm_source=ios_share&utm_medium=share&utm_nooverride=1&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=share_sheet

Same sort of style though not quite as big, backs to a busy street, smaller lot but lower price.

If I buy the Arlington house, I have to find public basketball and tennis courts and interact with the common folk when playing those sports. Also, no space for all seven of my cars.

They completely redid it. Look at the previous pictures.

1) to answer the question, the house won't go over asking price. it will sell below ask
2) the improvements were pointless, and sometimes worse than what came before
3) the exterior is very ugly; the interior is not inviting but can can be worked with
4) the location is excellent and close to a lot of stuff
5) this is not rockville; rockville is pretty far away from this house
