[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. The house I love is off Fox Mill, not far from intersection with waples mill. My main concern is that it will be a mistake (with respect to my young kids) to go from a townhouse community with pool & playground and neighbors with kids to none of that (although the house has a pool).[/quote]

If you're looking at the house that I'm thinking of, it is also Crossfield Elementary, which is fantastic. I actually went there myself decades ago and it still ranks really high. We are not going to buy in the area because of what you mentioned though - I have small elementary aged kids and wanted more of a community feel for them. Did you see the house off of Tilton Valley? It is actually Fairfax - but Navy ES, Carson MS, Oakton HS - needs some work, but only $650k, which is fantastic for that neighborhood. (I think we're looking for houses in the same price range and area...)[/quote]

This the OP. The elementary school of the house i love is Waples Mill. I am so surprised that this house has not sold yet. It has been in the market for more than 250 days. I absolutely love it, even though it's directly on Fox Mill. It sits back from the road quite a bit, on a hill. It was a torn down farm house that was reconstructed. I am really wondering why it had not sold yet. I wonder if it's simply because it's in Oakton...but Oakton can't be that bad, right? :)[/quote]

Ok, I took the bait and looked it up in the MRIS.
Nothing wrong with Oakton, but the house seems like a bit of a Frankenstein...maybe the photos aren't doing it justice. Ceiling appear a bit low, I'd expect the kitchen to be a bit more "wow" at that price point as well, the back looks a bit unbalanced. However, if you love it, then who cares! That's what matters. Does it feel like home to you? 
The lot is fantastic, the location near trails is wonderful, and you're near Wegman's. 
What is holding you back? As an agent I say put in an offer and see what happens. 265 DOM isn't unusual for this price point & location.[/quote]
