It's a big back yard though -- the house isn't that close to the retail.

Too bad all the character was gutted- no mouldings, bleached maple (probably engineered) flooring, country shiplap in the kitchen, a Louis IV fireplace in the bedroom. Basically a Tudor exterior, front door, and nothing else.

It’s only 3 BR, it backs up to a tire store, it’s all the way out in Vienna, and you expect someone to pay over $2M for it? I mean maybe someone one is that stupid, but geez.

Really nice house at a great price.
Vienna is a wonderful place to live. A lovely community feel to the place

Nope -- not just traffic-jammed 123 at all. All of the charm of the shops and restaurants on Church are right up the street. Walk to dinner at Evelyn Rose in 10 minutes.

I saw this one too. I agree that it should be closer to $2M

"Urban walkability" is usually traffic choked streets. I honestly don't know what people expect.
It's a cute house, well located for Vienna amenities. I bet it goes over list.

oh brother. The funny thing is, many "suburbia" towns are walkable to better places. Like in DC, is everyone walking to Whole Foods, Giant, Starbucks, Walgreens, Petco, Ledos, plus tons of restaurants and WO&D trail? No.

wow it's a steal. id wonder how it is being adjacent to just tires. maybe you could view it on a business day and see if it's loud or stinky. I'd imagine it's loud.

This price seems very low to me on this gorgeous Tudor a block from Maple. I would think this street would start at 2M.
