Wood Pointe Way
This is a GREAT home! This house is now at the top of the list, followed by the house on Northedge.
There was a lot of foot traffic in the house today, but everyone was a neighbor snooping (save one couple).
The neighborhood is in great condition and you can tell people take pride in their homes. There were a mix of younger (Nash and Zibby age) and older (teenager) families all along the street.
The commute to the Huntsman Shopping Center for the Pentagon bus took less than 5 minutes.
The commute from the Pentagon South Parking Lot took me 21 minutes, door-to-door on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Expect to double that time or even triple it during peak rush hour. I took I-395 through Springfield and then bailed off onto the Lorton exit (#163). I think where time can be made or loss in your commute will be at the Springfield mixing bowl (monstrosity of a road project that was started during your very first tour to Germany and is only now being finished...thanks VDOT).
The house is priced right to move. I think it won't last long on the market. Maybe 10-15 days. Hopefully when your parents come up on Tuesday they'll look at this one first. I think investment-wise you'd be able to rent it out easily as well. Lolly said a lot of the properties in the Crosspointe neighborhood rent at $2800 per month and up. She thinks this one could easily rent for $3,000+. She also said that since most properties are highly sought after in that neighborhood, they rarely sit on the market for more than 22 days.
OK, now the video tour...

7229 Wickford Drive
Click on the images to view the full size photo.
Dayaaaammmmm, that's a nice car!
Shingles look like they are a little old. It's hard to tell in the photo, but there are a lot of calcium deposits on them, along with fading in several spots. I've roofed houses before, and I know that once they start looking like this, it makes sense to start shopping for bulk quantity deals at Home Depot. Luckily Carmen could get you a discount on GAF asphalt shingles!!!!
House is aluminum siding. Has been painted recently.
I checked the manufacturer's tag on this AC unit. It was built in July of 1991. That's really old. Trane's are high quality, but I think this may be on it's last of days.
All of the upgraded flooring is immaculate. Moulding and walls look great.
A lot of the screens in the house need to be replaced. Not a deal breaker and definitely something that could be negotiated into the cost of the house. They appear to be the original screens when all of the windows were replaced 15+ years ago.
View from the street down your super long driveway. Might want to buy a snow blower for the winter, especially if we get 18" of snow like last winter :)
Fence is a bit rickety. Bogey could easily jump it. At it's lowest point, it appears to be around 30" tall.
OK, video time. Here are a bunch of clips I uploaded to YouTube. Apologies if the camera work makes you motion sick (hey, I'm a social media consultant, not Spielberg...)
