This is close and I like to cozy cottage feel - the wood paneling in the sun room gives me flash backs to 1970's "Long Island dens."
Thank you.[/quote]

Paint it white then it's beachy sunroom. ;)[/quote]

There has to be something wrong with this house.  It has been on the market on and off since January.  Nothing in N. Arlington is staying on the market that long.  It backs to St. Agnes school so that might be part of the problem.  That said, the location is good - you could walk to the Lee Height shops and the strip of shops in Cherrydale.  [/quote]

I know none of the particulars of that house, though I live nearby and think it is truly lovely. But my guess is that it is a house that appeals only to certain buyers. It has beautiful, expensive details, but is small compared with other houses in that price range. Morris Day architects did the addition; they aren't cheap. Another home--newly built a few years back by Morris Day--in the area has been on the market for a long time, and I suspect for the same reason: it's an expensively finished home but small compared with others at the price point. So many buyers today want big, they don't care much about aesthetics.

That house linked above--I've been coveting it for a long time. If I could afford it, I'd buy it in a New York minute.[/quote]

That house is beautiful!  [/quote]
