I checked property records and googled the owner. Says he owns a stone and tile company, so there's your explanation. He used to be chief bodyguard for the Shah of Iran in the 70's before the revolution. He's a blackbelt in Taekwondo. His daughter runs an interior construction business. That explains a lot, though some of the finishes look cheap at least in the photos, like the door handles on closets. |

| The exterior design is weirdly proportioned. Just kind of gawky - like they took designs for a smaller house and just stretched them. |

I'd much prefer a small, cute cape or colonial. |

| At this price, buyers would want to remodel the house to its own taste. |

| Overall very meh. Exterior kind of looks like a retirement home. |

| The exterior is very 70's/80's, which was a very unfortunate time in residential architecture. |

| How MUCH do I hate a home like this.... everything about it is awful except, 1.27 acres sounds good. |

| Is that an offset garage door next to the main garage door? |

It's two 2-car garages. |

| There must be a reason it's been on the market for 5 years. Oh wait--intersection of two very busy roads, on top of the 495/270 split, bear the DCA flight path waypoint, and it's freaking hideous. Good luck to the seller. |

| Extremely ugly. What's up with the weird curtains. And that kitchen is so gross. |

| How is it that a house that is so high-end is not staged with furniture. Seems so weird. |
