Question: How did the Arlington condo market perform in the first half of 2022?


The original owner lived in this home for nearly 70 years and is now passing it on to those who will trade sweat equity and a Pinterest eye for a solid house in a wonderful area.

Located between Lee-Harrison Center and Westover Village, the home is well sited on an 8,000 square foot lot with mature trees and shrubbery. The living room is anchored by both a wood burning fireplace and a wall of built-ins. It flows into the dining room and then to the vintage kitchen with original 1951 cabinets and countertops. A door from the kitchen opens to the patio and big, fenced backyard.

That’s why the Keri Shull Team, the top-selling real estate team in Virginia, is hosting a seminar to help home buyers understand today’s competitive DMV real estate market and better maximize their home search.
