The paneling makes it feel like living in a yurt or something. So odd. Also why two pedestal sinks in one bathroom? Did they run out of money on the reno?

It's a weird house. I would not consider it.

OP, Where/how are you commuting downtown?
Besides Arlington, any other areas that you looked at? Do you want public/private schools? Budget?

Many years ago, DH and I were priced out of Arlington and moved to Fairfax County. We are near the WFC metro and Tysons - I commute into DC using metro. Still happy with our decision.

The commute to downtown is generally going to be longer than commutes from Arlington. With more people driving, the traffic is generally getting worse. It’s a great area and the commute is worth it to us, but just be aware.

It's strange. I don't care for the floorpan, starting with the front door that opens into a tiny foyer where the first thing you see is the powder room.

Hello listing agent.

I like it a lot. Much better than some of the overdone remodels, doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the neighborhood, has plenty of space, and move in ready.

Somehow it manages to have a lot going on yet lack personality.

The wood plank is a little weird

I like it, seems move-in condition. Seems like a great family house, remodel looks well-done. Not a huge fan of the wood plank [flooring?] ceilings tho.

Ideally a 4 bed/3 bath 2,750+ sqft home w/ decent commute to downtown. Fort Hunt has been described as an ideal small community feel in a large city/county. We’ve toured Arlington, but every home we’ve visited is off a busy street.

What are you looking for in your new home, OP?

OP here. Family of 5 moving to the area from the West Coast.

How large is your family?

Curious to get feedback from the group on this house in Fort Hunt. It looks unique compared to a lot of the 50s construction split level homes in the area.
