Property Description

Total fixer-upper. All fixtures, appliances and whole house are sold as is where is. This is an estate and the trustee has no knowledge of the house. That being said, this is a charming cottage in a lovely neighborhood that can be a teardown or can be renovated by an 'old home' lover. There are lots of things to treasure here -- crystal doorknobs, solid wood doors, tall ceilings. And lots of challenges -- bring a machete for the back yard. And the house is full of stuff so be very careful walking through. But good bones, fabulous location. You're a couple blocks stroll to Lacey Woods, 1/2 mile from Ballston shopping, dining, entertainment and METRO, just over a mile to Westover, and steps away from the Custis Bike Trail, plus nearby I66 can take you anywhere you want to go. Great Arlington schools, too.
