From the pictures and description, it looks pretty nice. But for some reason it's been on the market for a month already. Too close to Washington Blvd?

1400 sq feet for $850?

It's been on the market since June! Price must be too high. It's a small house. (My house is the same size; it's small.)

a lot of people don't like Jefferson middle school too.

That is adorable.

Still seems priced a little bit high, but not too far off IMO. The exterior could be cleaned up - particularly the landscaping. Backyard looks neglected and pitiful. Overall it has some nice features and some meh features.

I would not personally consider it due to the radiators, does not seem safe with small kids. For someone else, I could see it working.

Way overpriced. Cute, though.

Cute house, but I think the location might be turning off some people - Pershing and Washington are both pretty major streets at that point, and the house is super close to both. Also yeah, it's a pretty high price PSF.

Great location, and you might be surprised how quiet the streets off of Wash Blvd can be. Unfortunately 85 days is excessively long in the current Arlington market - the market has spoken, it is overpriced still, and at 900K initial list started off as WAY over. They might've shot themselves in the foot on this one.

It's a great house for retirees, DINKs or maybe a one kid family. But that's a small market. Add that to the price and I think you have your answer.

I'm confused about this one too...

Agree. It might sell in the mid-to-upper 700s.
