[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of old colonials and beautiful stately homes in this part of Bethesda.  A new build always sticks out like a sore thumb and probably isn't going to appeal to the Glen Echo types, who often move there for the natural beauty of the area.

Now, in McLean... a new build will probably be prized more highly. [/quote]

Said someone who has obviously not driven through Glen Echo Heights recently [/quote]

I have, actually. [/quote]

The land of teardowns and McCraftsmans?[/quote]

Where would that be?  Across the bridge?[/quote]

No, right in Glen Echo Heights. It's unfortunate but true.[/quote]

It's untrue but I'll agree that it sounds unfortunate.  That's why Virginia is best avoided [/quote]

One fourth of the homes sold in Glen Echo Heights over the past two years were built since 2000. And that doesn't even count the older homes that were sold, torn down and replaced with gigantic new builds that were never re-sold. Look, I'm a lifelong MoCo resident who hates Virginia, too, but you can't deny what's actually happening in this neighborhood.[/quote]

Eh, I would wager that's a trend in most upper-middle-class neighborhoods.  Doesn't mean that it's a desirable style or something that is going to move quickly off of the housing market compared to older builds [/quote]

GEH is kind of in another category, especially near this house, possibly the most concentrated teardown 'hood in Bethesda and that's saying a lot!. [/quote]

Not really.  It's a pretty widespread trend, if we're honest [/quote]

Not at the scale or range of Glen Echo Heights[/quote]
