Well, we've put in a bid on a townhome in Fairfax. We actually put a bid on one last week too, but they selected another bid instead of ours. I really hope we get this one. I'm very excited and hate having to wait until they select a bid for this one on Wednesday the 23rd before I get to know if we'll get it or not. I feel pretty confident though, so hopefully all works out.
All of the options are in the house we're looking at the Wet Bar and the Washer/Dryer on the 3rd floor. Don't care about the Wet Bar, but REALLY wish we had the W/D on the bedroom floor. If we get the place then next spring I'm going to look into retrofitting the W/D on the 3rd floor. It'll take out a linen closet the 2nd vanity in the 2nd bath, but would make life so much easier.
There are hardwood floors in the foyer/first flight of stairs and throughout the Kitchen/Family/Morning/Dining/Living rooms. We have a 12x12 deck that the morning room opens onto and the back yard is fenced as well. As can be seen in the photo it is an end unit, with guest parking right beside us which is very convienent. The deck isn't right beside anyone elses deck either and from the side overlooks a playground and tall old growth trees that won't be torn down.
The location is AWESOME between Wegman's Grocery Store (VERY cool grocery) and Fairfax Center which is the new "hip" place in Fairfax with many good resturants, shops, and the best movie theater in the area. My commute will stay the same at about 25 minutes. Lisa's commute will shorten from about 5 minutes of driving to 2 minutes of driving. If we should ever have to commute to downtown DC it takes about 20 minutes to get to the Metro in the morning and there is a strong rumor that someday a metro stop will go into Fairfax Corner which would make the home values sky rocket. We shall see!
