[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed with 7.33.   We bought a place split level in McLean in 2009 for a bit over 500.   It was being sold as a teardown. At the time, we couldn't qualify for more than 600.  Did a homeowners inspection and the bones were good. Right bf we moved in, gutted the kitchen and one bath.  Saved money and a year later redid the basement, bath and windows.   Saved money and a year later did the exterior hard scape and landscape.  Have spent About 175 doing all the work we've done.  Non renovated comps in the neighborhood are going for 800-850 right now.  Now our house is practically new and we love our neighborhood.    My advice to you, do it.   In this area the land is what you pay for, so if its a desirable area the value will always go up.  [/quote]

but split levels are still small[/quote]

Not necessarily. The whole point of the design of a split level is to get more living space out of the house's footprint. You'd be pleasantly surprised at how much space there is in some split levels. Also, just like any style of house there are larger and smaller examples.[/quote]
