It's midpoint on the major road between Nottingham, Williamsburg, and Discovery schools. No traffic there..

We saw that house this weekend. They have done a beautiful job renovating it - especially the kitchen. We are looking for all the bedrooms on one level, otherwise we would have totally made an offer. My husband LOVED the screened porch and backyard.

It has no basement. It's 2300 total. So could be too small for some families.
Ugh, built on a slab? That is miserable with this cold cold winters... honestly even if updated, it's a hard sell. It's a nice big lot, but limited tear-down & upgrade potential b/c directly on busy road.
Basement is so vital above the snow line...
And busy roads are a real deficit. You see tons of nice homes sitting on busy roads for a long time. They only sell when inventory is tight tight and people are pressed to buy. This is the start of the buying season, so probably will sit as buyers explore other options.

That's not very common. It certainly further limits you in a hunt for a home in a community with limited inventory. How'd that work out/is that working out for you?

Way too busy of a road.

It's nice enough but 50s architecture is unfixable and location on a busy road is huge deficit and you can't change that.
Agree. My DH vetoes any house on a busy road.

By the way, I think you'd get a better response if you moved this into Real Estate and Home Improvement. Go to Website Feedback and ask Jeff to move it.

It's moderately busy at rush hour, but overall not terrible. All the main roads up this way, including Glebe and George Mason, aren't as busy as they are further south.
In the middle of the day on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being not busy at all, i.e. a cul-de-sac, and 10 being Lee Highway, I'd give this a 4.
+1 totally agree. I live right near there, as well, and it isn't nearly as busy as you'd think. Outside of rush hour, it isn't busy at all.

This is already a hot home on redfin. How busy or loud does it get in this section of Williamsburg? How about any young families around? We have toddlers.
