I disagree completely.  The house doesn't need to be HGTV-perfect to offer a good life.  If you like the location and there's enough room for everyone, that's a good start, because these are the things you cannot change (easily or at all).  So the bathrooms have to be redone. So the bay window isn't designer-good looking.  So what. Redo the bathrooms, paint in warm colors, set up your furniture, books, beds, pictures, and it would seem like a home to me.  I feel that for the family that wants to be close to metro in Arlington, this house is more than an acceptable compromise. [wmv][/quote]

I disagree with you.  I could only be happy in that boring house if it were renovated.  Call me shallow, but IMHO it is NOT an attractive property.  I don't care if it's close to the metro, you still have to live there!    [/quote]

Here's the thing, PP.  OP wants a SFH with good schools in Arlington for 600K.  She doesn't want to live in Centreville or Ashburn, she wants to live in Arlington.  She will have to make some compromises.  Maybe you can afford more or would choose different but this is not your thread.  I'm with OP, anyway--I would much rather live in a boring house in a convenient, family-friendly, metro-accessible, walkable area with good schools than in a picture-perfect house in a boring place.
