[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At that price anywhere, I would want a garage, large walk-in closet in master, washer/dryer not in basement, and a large open floor plan ideal for entertaining. This house seems very choppy and the opposite of open concept. The kitchen has been updated but is kind of small and blah. [/quote]

What's the weather like in Ft. Collins today?[/quote]
Are you saying you can't find these things in a $2.3 million house in this area? Of course you can.

What is "in this area" ?  In the micro market between Connecticut and Wisconsin Aves, walkable to metro and zoned for Deal?   Or did you mean Rockville/Vienna/Beverly Hills?

I will wait while you rustle up a handful of houses that have sold **this spring** that include a usable automobile garage, upstairs washer dryer/laundry room, big walk-in closets and an 'open floor plan' --- that are also in the tight geographic area including Wakefield. [/quote]

I found at least four that sold UNDER 2.3million that have most of these things except a garage, however 1 does have a garage too, and sold for under 2 million.

The point is that most people are not stupid enough to limit themselves to such a small micro market when you can get something that is CLOSER to downtown DC, and has all those things for 2.3 million or less.

Here are two:

I think the realtor nailed it when she highlighted the curb appeal of the home that was the subject of the original post.

We looked for a home in Washington DC and off for nearly 10 years.  (Long story.). Man, that house in the OP is a nice looking house, with the perfect floor plan.  (Assuming you don’t want open concept, obviously. Which not everyone does.) The other two homes...well, those are lovely homes, as well, and I’ll leave it at that, because I’m not going to insult anyone’s new home on the Internet, or say the owners are stupid for making that choice.  So many factors go into choice of a home.

Can’t we all be glad that not ev-er-y-one wants to live in Lyons Park?
