[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, quite a bit of Arlington is comprised of 1940s Colonials built to house military and civilians at the newly-constructed Pentagon. (sometimes I think a lot of people in NW or in Bethesda think that Arlington is only 1960s and 70s split levels!)  Prices range from low $600s and likely need some updating to mid 800s which have already been updated and had additions.  Usually the original construction is 3BR with 1 or 2BA.  [/quote]

Examples:

[b]Cherrydale.  1939 clearly with renovations and additions.

Dominion Hills.  1940s Colonial that's been extensively renovated.  I've been inside and it's beautiful:  http://www.redfin.com/VA/Arlington/964-N-Lebanon-St-22205/home/11240914

Dominion Hills.  Right next door.  Kitchen remodel but no addition.  http://franklymls.com/AR7773032

Madison Manor.  Closer to the metro.  Some updates and a small bump-out addition.

This is actually Waverly Hills and right near where I live.  While I love Waverly Hills and its family friendly atmosphere, this house is totally overpriced.  It is not really renovated at all and the back yard is tiny.  It is actually a similar style house to the one I live in (although we have a finished basement), and I don't think our house would sell for more than $675,000 if we put it on the market today.

Thanks, PP.  I'm the PP who posted the links.  We live in Dominion Hills, which is why I know the two for sale there. I'd seen the Utah St online and had contemplated going to look, assuming based on the price that it had some major renovations.

We're considering whether to move or renovate our own home so I've been watching 22205 and 22207 listings[/quote]
