I have seen dinger colonials in this area sell sooner. If it is price, then what is a good price for it? |

Because it's in Oakton.

| Because it is a mid century modern contemporary style and not a traditional colonial or new build. |

I thought the Oakton area was popular for those working in the Tysons area. |

+1. Very few people will find this style appealing. |

| I like it! They should retake the photos to get ones without snow. Not a fan of the sauna or the overhead railing/2nd floor look-down. Built in 1979. |

Contemporaries are at the bottom of the hierarchy and the center hall colonial is at the top. There are fewer people who like the Contemporary style. Fewer people means a smaller buying pool. |

| Those white walls make it seem cold - I hate white walls! Also, it seems priced high, as there are bigger houses nearby listed for less. |

Really colonials over modern? That makes me sad. We going to have the same reheated styles (in new and old construction) forever here... |

| Over priced, only architects and weirdos like mid centuries and both are poor. |

Location, price, and they didn't embrace the mid-century thing completely. Look at that kitchen. If you're going for the contemporary look, you don't put in those kinds of cabinets - looks "off"
Some color wouldn't hurt, either. |

That is exactly what I was thinking. If they used a warmer neutral, it would help a bit. It feels to sterile as it is now. |

Right? I really like the house. |
