[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, I’d like in on this. We want everything that OP wants but would also like a close-in commute to capital hill (45 mins or under), would prefer walkable to a metro, would love to be able to walk to some restaurants, but also would like a decent yard. Like a 10,000 sf lot or larger ideally. Our budget is $2m and we need at least 4 bedrooms. Where should we be looking ideally? [/quote]

I don’t think N Arlington has 10,000SF lots walkable to metro.  Anyone else know?[/quote]

Yeah not that I know it with a lot that big. unless you don’t mind walking for 20 mins. And It’d be over 2m[/quote]

There are a handful of 10,000-20,000sf lots in Lyon Park/Ashton Heights that are &lt;1 mile from metro. [/quote]

Get out of town.  Really???  Can you share an example?[/quote]

I mean none of them are for sale right now...they rarely come up as you might imagine, but click around on Arlington's parcel map and you'll see quite a few

A few examples:

230 N Highland
304 N Highland 
303 N Irving
309 N Irving

There are actually quite a few - they're mostly south of Pershing between 1st Rd and 2nd Rd or backing up the cemetery.

One big lot on Jackson sold and is currently having a moooonster house built on it - pool, pool house, main house, garage with space above it. The story I heard is that the prior owners bought the house for $1.3m in 2019 and a year later the current owners knocked on the door and said "how much would it take for you to sell us this house?" and they said $1.7m and got it. Sold almost one year to the day after they bought it for $400K more. I think the lot on that is 19,XXXsf. [/quote]

Wow!  Thanks for all this info.  I had no clue.  [/quote]

I had one in Va Square for about a decade where my ex and I built a house.  It was fantastic.  Couldn’t afford to live there now, though.[/quote]

And this, folks, is why you rent your old place rather than selling. [/quote]
