Kitchen is clearly a cheap Ikea install and I'd be concerned about the HVAC system. The wall units (especially one right above the bed??) are the cheap kind I installed in my warehouse.

My money is on the fact that this is a flip that the owners cheaped out on and are looking to sucker someone in for bigger money than its worth.

The carpet is off putting (though it looks brand new), the range on the island is awful, and the ceilings look low. It also sold a year ago in the $700s. Is it a flip? Or did someone move in and then list it 5 months later?

The location seems like it would be ideal (walk to library, etc!) but it’s not. That’s a very congested intersection, the fire department, police station and hospital are right there and as PP said, it’s also a cut through to Route 1 to avoid the Sherwood Hall/Route 1 intersection. I think there is also an abortion clinic at the end of the street (which is fine), but it gets a lot of protestors.

This is a terrible location. It is a main cut through from Fort Hunt to Rt. 1 so very busy and you are close to the Rt. 1 commercial stuff. Noisy fire station and hospital right there. Would never buy there.

That's Fairfax County, not Alexandria.

OP here. Lol, just looked at Google street view. It looks like a shack. These darned agents are seriously using AI or something with their photos.

It has been on the market a long time, but it seems to be good privacy for that price. I get the pool is a downside for a lot of people (as it would be for me) so maybe that is part of it?
