Question: How many different real estate agents do business in Arlington in a typical year?
When asked why she got her real estate license more than 16 years ago, Katie Wethman responded simply: “It’s personal for me.”
Back in 2010, the long-time Arlington resident was looking for a home, and she felt like no one could clearly explain the process or answer her questions. So, she got her license and began teaching first-time homebuyer classes.

Good morning, Arlington, and happy spring!
Expanded and renovated in 2004, this classic Westover colonial provides space for everyone and everything. The main level living room has a cozy reading nook and an area for quiet conversation. The traditional dining room can double as a place for work-from-home and homework from school. The big open kitchen has ample cabinets and counter space along with a planning desk to keep everyone organized through a day of schooling and Zooming. Just off the kitchen is a family room that flows into the screened porch for gatherings nearly year round. French doors separate a private den, ideal for Zoom calls, a second office space or play room. A powder room completes this level.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a private bathroom with double vanity, separate shower and soaking tub to relax at the end of a busy day at home. Built-in drawers and shelves in the primary closet keep yoga pants and pajamas nicely organized. Three more bedrooms upstairs are served by an updated bathroom and, most conveniently, the washer and dryer are upstairs.

Question: What design trends are you seeing this year?
This is a gorgeous 2 BD/2 BA condo with a wraparound balcony in the heart of Clarendon! The 1,112-square-foot residence features hardwood floors throughout the living area, a separate dining area and an open kitchen. The condo is outfitted with a fresh coat of paint, crown molding and a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door that leads out to a large wraparound balcony. This is one of the few wraparound balconies at Station Square, and this style balcony is much larger than the normal balconies in the building and in the Clarendon neighborhood.
The dining area has plenty of space for a large dining set to go along with a new light fixture and tray ceiling. The kitchen features granite countertops, maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances and gas cooking. The kitchen has an abundance of counter space, and it overlooks the dining and living areas.
Quality built in 2006, this stately home is well sited on one of the prettiest streets in the Tara neighborhood. A wide lawn leads to the front porch, and there’s a welcoming foyer with a traditional living room to the left and dining room to the right. The butler’s pantry opens to a kitchen, which will delight those with a newfound interest in cooking and baking. The adjoining breakfast room flows into the family room featuring a stone, wood-burning fireplace, coffered ceiling, and French doors opening to a deck and the flat yard.
A large bonus room offers many uses for dual offices, distance-learning or Zoom calls. A second large powder room next to it could be converted to a full bathroom. Connect it to the room for an inviting in-law suite or spot for aging in place.
