That house is gorgeous -- just waiting for the right person to give it some loving care and bring it back to life.

That really depends on what $million buys you, doesn't it. In this area, a million dollar home in some neighborhoods is a price of admission, nothing architecturally distinguished. Not a carte blanche to exercise your sense of style.

OP here. interesting I would never have thought people actually hated new homes. Would the hardi plank variety appeal to you more? I honestly didn't think people get upset because I would think more new homes would enhance the neighborhood. On the other hand I don't really think that old homes are a negative, in fact I really think it's great to have multiple types of new homes and old homes next to each other. It's what makes this country great many different styles and people living side by side.


And that is many people's definition of tacky.

Embrace your love of planned communities and all things Lorton. Or Ashburn.

So cute! I would renovate the heck out of that home and live in it. Every day I would put a different color balloon on the mailbox.

Better now, and better years from now as it's in a prime neighborhood.

Suck it.


I am willing to bet the neighborhood that Victorian was in was prime when it was built too.
