That house sucks ass what's polarizing about that

So did you? And the listing says it's in Cherrydale, but the map suggests otherwise. Would there be restrictions on changes one could make? (I am devoting a lot of mental energy to where to create the master suite and what to do about the bathroom on the first floor, even though I am not buying it.

No houses were going for 750k in the 80s.

So nice to see a house with a little age to it that hasn't been ruined! It's an opportunity for some judicious upgrading and a lot of redecorating. How cool to see an older range-- it's very fashionable to clean those up and keep them these days, even mid-Century models.

I'm hardly an Arlington fan, and wouldn't buy outside the District. And I prefer homes built before 1920. But others will buy it.

Not sure how prices in "the rest of the country" are relevant. I don't even share this frame of reference, having grown up in (and always lived in) generally more expensive cities. Be careful with the generalizations-- we're not all hayseeds-by-birth!

At least you can poop without kids knocking on the door to use the bathroom or you don't have to store your clothes in the basement because there are no closets.

I love this house! It does need some cosmetic changes but it's great otherwise.

That is a great house. I like older homes with some personality and quirk. Don't get me wrong, I love brand new homes too that don't require the kind of work an old home does.

You have a depressing vision of America.

Way over priced. I love a lot about the house but 2 baths? No. Out of date kitchens and baths? No. Unfinished basements? No.

I think that with a little updating, they could fetch that price but crazy-ass things happen in ARL Re.

This type of housing was never intended to service the upper middle / lower rich of America. Very odd things going on in Arlington.

There isn't a master bedroom or bath.

Tiny bathroom upstairs for everyone to share

That kitchen is bad

The rads everywhere no central AC ughhhh

I am sure some idiot will pay 950k to buy it and curse the ground of arlington in 2 years.

This looks a living hell, paying 950k and living like that.

Location, location, location.

Nothing is amiss in the basement. House is probably owned by an older couple with adult children. Back in the day, folks didn't finish the basement unless they needed extra room.

It's 2014
