Question: What can you tell me about schools?
Answer: “Class, today’s subject will be schools. Who can tell me which is the best school? Realtor, maybe you would like to answer this question? I’m sure you know where the best schools are located! You help buyers and sellers in different neighborhoods every day and must have the inside scoop!”
This plaqued Greek Revival was built in stages between 1790 and 1850. The original Flounder became 3,400 square feet on two levels, and since this handsome classic has been carefully curated with respect for the past and for current living standards.
Grandeur prevails with the gas lighting fixtures, hand crafted mahogany front door and formal gallery foyer with regal staircase. The tall ceilings make large rooms grand, and with six remarkable fireplaces, double parlor with pocket doors and original cylinder glass windows the unique features are outstanding. The current caretakers have pristinely maintained and updated with exquisite craftsmanship of custom built-ins, a metal roof and two laundries. The expansive gathering room/kitchen was added in 2002 and in doing so a cistern was discovered to the City’s historians’ delight. The kitchen features heated flooring, a fireplace and wet bar.

Question: Do you have any suggestions for people who are trying to buy a home in this hot market?
Answer: Your question is one that the majority of buyers are asking during the strong seller’s market we have seen in 2020 and 2021. Buyers are experiencing competition in almost every style and price range and find themselves writing multiple contracts that result in a bidding war with 10+ other offers.
Rarely does such an iconic property come along, embodying European warmth and comfort without giving up city sophistication.
Located in Herbert Springs, a unique enclave of luxury homes along the Potomac River, this home brings classic French country architecture into the present day. This exquisite residence, set on spacious, lushly landscaped grounds, boasts five bedrooms, four full and two half baths, with architectural details and building quality unmatched in most construction. While very grand, this classic home affords exceptional design and features heart pine floors, four fireplaces and a three-level elevator.
The blue of the Potomac. The green of the parks. The vibrant colors of over 100 one-of-a-kind boutique shops, fine dining restaurants and award-winning craft breweries. Old Town Alexandria is a kaleidoscope of life.
And just blocks away from those parks, the waterfront, and the shopping and dining are the luxury townhomes of Abingdon Place. Nestled into Old Town North, this tucked-away community of 19 townhomes feels like a private hideaway.

Question: Should I move before putting my home on the market?
Answer: This question comes up very frequently. Even in a hot “seller’s market,” like the one we are in now, sellers still want to put their best foot forward to ensure that their home will receive the best offer. Like most real estate decisions, it really depends on what works for each individual. Here are a few things to consider with your Realtor when you are deciding on your moving timeline.
