Here's a chance to move into one of the preppiest streets in America

Hmm, I still don't know the difference between Palisaides and Kent, but Burlieth is the neighborhood just north of Georgetown and south of Glover Park, just off Wisconsin...

Two words: galley kitchen. I'll take a pass.

I like the house; furnishings aren't exactly my style. I'm 40 and love preppy.

If only I had an extra $1M laying around...

It's Lowell Street, not Lowell Lane, OP.

Same thing. Lowell Ln is off of Lowell St. Either way it's a great street.

Sorry, I meant Berkley, not Burleith.

Gorgeous house, except for the galley kitchen. Big disappointment there.

Beautiful Street and nice curb appeal! Unfortunately, the house is small for $2.2 Million - even for this street and neighborhood. The major negatives are unimpressive foyer and staircase, old roof, galley kitchen, small master bedroom, small baths, small living room, and small backyard - lots of patio with no lawn for kids to run around. Also, the 2012 assessment is for $1.3Million, which may be low but not $900,000 low. To me it looks like the price should be somewhere in the vicinity of $1.6M-$1.8M.

Pretty house, but why is all the furniture blah blah brown/tan??? I hate it when perfectly lovely homes have boring tan furniture. So sad.

A preppy home would be bright with lots of navy, yellow, green and pink. There would be mixtures of patterns....florals, plaids and even toile. And there would be many more paintings and family portraits on the walls (which are currently very bare).

Does this come with some kind of guarantee. Like if my son doesn't get into Mount Holyoke, could I get my money back? I like those odds!

Best post.

That's one tiny fucking kitchen. I hate galley kitchens. It's the only thing I don't miss from row house.

I love galley kitchens. I have a huge McMansion kitchen across which I have to walk for acres to reach anything. It is hugely inefficient, and doesn't manage to actually hold anything more than my (well-designed) previous kitchen that was half its size.

Really? I feel like my 320k house is much nicer.

Where do you live? Herndon?
