I understand some of the gripes but I appreciate the tasteful brick family room addition. Ideally you’d pop the top of that and maybe have room for a true master suite.

FYA if you want walkability to Ballston and want to save $500K-$1M for a comparable home, look at Arlington Forest and the parts of Bluemont closer to Ballston off the trail.

You can get a SFH for $1M ish with the same length walk as this home to downtown Ballston and arguably better schools.

We made a killing on our house - and Clarendon kind of peaked when we were there.

Nice area - but do not regret leaving that neighborhood…other than Jackson st on Halloween not really that tight of a neighborhood.
