Who is the idea buyer? It doesn’t seem set up for a family with lots of kids. But also not quite right for a multigenerational family. And still not quite right for a group house of college kids / young 20s.

Isn’t this the house that used to have a completely open top floor that looked like it was meant for church/cult services. I always imagined how my kids could scooter and roller skate in that giant room in the winter.

It is scary to me. Im pretty sure it has been on here before with less gray and white decor, but you can't change a bad builder design. Whoever added on/designed it should have consulted an architect, the design is way out of scale. The rooms are too big and yes you get the cult feeling because everything is out of scale.
Poor house! Maybe it can be turned into a group home successfully, but the price tag is a bit much for that.

No photo of the whole front on Redfin- I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before

There have been so many threads on the house. Eventually, someone will come along and tear it down.

We’ve talked about this house so many times.

As the price keeps nearing tear-down price.

Such a strange house. Maybe someone wants to start a school in it?

Yep. Maybe it will go into foreclosure soon to speed things along. It’s such an eyesore.

Arlington County should buy it and tear it down for a small park. Arlington County was bamboozled by the original builder and they should make amends for allowing this monstrosity to be built.

Honestly, they made it look much better than the monster house of yore.

That's a great idea.

Or maybe a school for builders to learn from others' mistakes? Look at this stupid gray trim- never do that. And these ceiling trays with the weird lamps? Never. Why are there rhombuses everywhere - is this the set of Sesame St?

I love the floor plan where the person labeling the house was like, "so...what's this? *shrug* I'm calling it 'room'"

I wish I could find pictures from the previous listings, because this house still looks terrible, but they've made it look better.

This is so bad. Hideous curb appeal. Bedrooms chopped up across FOUR levels. Cheeses early oughts construction.
