(doorbell) LEX: Welcome to house number two.

We're in the Carriage Hill subdivision of Vienna.

CHRISTINE: First thing I have to comment on, is this huge front yard.

I feel like I should've brought the lawn mower.

LEX: The lots are much larger as you get outside the town center.

JOHN: Well, we noticed that driving in.

Big lots, and we love the style of homes here.

A lot of ranchers?

LEX: Yeah.

In this neighborhood you get these sort of more one-level living, which are popular.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

Aging in place.

JOHN: That's right.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

LEX: And just one thing I wanted to point out.

So, we are outside of the town of Vienna.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

LEX: So out here, you get slightly less taxes and more space.

CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Okay.

Bonus, bonus.

CHRISTINE: That's nice to know.

Okay.

LEX: Why don't you guys go take a look at the house, and I'll catch you on the way out?

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Perfect.

CHRISTINE: Thanks.

LEX: All right.

CHRISTINE: Let's check this... All right.

This is really nice one-level living.

JOHN: Absolutely.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Okay, well let's start with, um, space number one.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Living room... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: This was probably formal?

CHRISTINE: I would say.

But what I'm really enjoying, is the window and the view outside.

That yard, those trees.

It carries right on through.

JOHN: I love these shelves.

The... CHRISTINE: Nice built-ins.

JOHN: Nice built-ins.

And I have to say, I love me a column.

And I love these going into the next room.

CHRISTINE: Well what I like about them, is they help define the space, like we were talking, but yet it still keeps it really open.

JOHN: Very open.

Okay, so I bet you this was like a family room, 'cause there's a fireplace in this room.

I like it as a formal dining room.

And it goes into this beautiful kitchen.

But before we go there... CHRISTINE: No, no, no.

We're checking out this four season room.

JOHN: Got it.

CHRISTINE: And you know, I'm just gonna go gaga over it.

Can we just talk a little bit about this backyard?

JOHN: That is a whopper, if I've ever seen one.

CHRISTINE: I'm thinking I can have horses back there.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: I'd even let you put some goats.

JOHN: Oh... CHRISTINE: 'Cause I know you love goats... JOHN: I do love me some goats.

CHRISTINE: And they help maintain the yard.

But overall it's so nice having a room that you can enjoy all year long... JOHN: Yes.

CHRISTINE: But yet, it, it really does feel like you're outside.

JOHN: And then if you want the outside, you can step down to this lovely boxwood garden patio... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: And grill outside in this.

CHRISTINE: Why don't you go finish the rest of the... JOHN: Okay.

CHRISTINE: House, and I'm gonna, no, I'm just kidding.

JOHN: It's all right.

Bye.

CHRISTINE: I'm not gonna leave you.

JOHN: Around the corner, to this... CHRISTINE: Ooh.

JOHN: Gorgeous kitchen.

CHRISTINE: So this is a lovely kitchen.

I just get this real cottage-y feel.

JOHN: Hmm.

Yeah.

CHRISTINE: I think it's the cream cabinets, the style, and you know, the farmhouse sink.

JOHN: I feel like the cottage feel flows right into the next room too, right?

CHRISTINE: Oh, I think it does.

Because you know, we go from these beautiful cream cabinets... JOHN: Yes.

CHRISTINE: With this beautiful window, and it just flows right in.

And I think what really adds to that kind of feel... You've got the light from the window... JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: And then the recessed lighting, just makes for a really lovely space.

JOHN: And can we just say, this is like the best game-playing house ever?

With all of these tables and all of this open space, the floor is really the great unifier.

I want to check out what's on this side of the house.

Stepping down into laundry room... CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: And then what is this little gem?

It's a little day room.

CHRISTINE: This is perfect.

You can use it as a little guest bedroom... JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: A office area.

JOHN: You could like take a nap, when you get tired from doing laundry.

CHRISTINE: How much laundry do you do?

JOHN: I do a lot of laundry.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

So, we have a half bath.

JOHN: And on this side, we have a very nice pantry.

CHRISTINE: Do you know what I'm noticing?

The electric boxes are here.

It makes me wonder if there's a basement in this home.

JOHN: Mm.

Good point.

CHRISTINE: I don't know.

JOHN: I don't know.

All right.

Into the bedroom wing.

CHRISTINE: All right, so let's check out the first room.

JOHN: Oh, I love all of the built-ins in this house.

And that patio.

Nice boxwood garden.

CHRISTINE: Right.

JOHN: All right, Tina.

CHRISTINE: All right.

JOHN: Looks like we have... CHRISTINE: Ooh, full bath.

JOHN: Full bathroom.

CHRISTINE: Double vanities.

JOHN: Yeah.

And then... Ooh.

CHRISTINE: Ah.

JOHN: We have arrived in the primary suite.

CHRISTINE: I would say.

I bet this was two bedrooms.

JOHN: Yep.

They added a beautiful walk-in closet.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Plus... CHRISTINE: A lovely sitting area.

Mm.

JOHN: And a cozy bedroom, which are just enveloped with these beautiful windows.

CHRISTINE: You sound so poetic.

JOHN: Ah... CHRISTINE: Enveloped in these beautiful windows.

JOHN: Enveloped.

And speaking of poetic, let's look at this bathroom.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

Wow!

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: I get this country vibe over here.

JOHN: Cottage.

CHRISTINE: Right.

And then I turn, and I get this like modern urban feel.

JOHN: Yes.

CHRISTINE: I mean, when you're looking at the honeycomb tile... JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: But then you look at the tile work in the shower, in the glass.

JOHN: I love that they've made improvements... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: But yet the feel of the original house is not far from what it was.

CHRISTINE: Right.

JOHN: Right?

It's just sweetened.

It's just better.

CHRISTINE: Right.

And you still have that single-level living.

JOHN: With jets for your shower.

That's fancy.

CHRISTINE: True.

JOHN: Okay, final bedroom of the house.

CHRISTINE: This makes for a perfect guest bedroom.

The views outside this window are so pretty.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: Well, I think this ends our tour.

JOHN: That wraps it up.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Let's go.

CHRISTINE: Hey.

LEX: All right, guys.

Welcome back.

What did you, uh, what did you guys think?

CHRISTINE: I am happy to be back in my favorite room of this house.

LEX: The backyard?

JOHN: Yup.

She went on and... LEX: This view?

JOHN: On about it for good reason.

CHRISTINE: I envision my horses.

I envision some goats for John.

JOHN: I'd probably become a chicken farmer, myself.

LEX: Yeah.

Okay.

Absolutely.

CHRISTINE: But overall, this house, it really was a very well done renovation.

JOHN: Especially the changes in the primary suite, that beautiful bath.

LEX: It's kind of like your own little sort of oasis over there.

CHRISTINE: So, I do have one question.

LEX: Of course.

CHRISTINE: Is there no basement to this home?

LEX: There is a storage area and a crawl space, but there is not a living space downstairs.

You've got three beds, two and a half bathrooms.

Just over 3,000 square feet.

Built in 1963.

1.3 acres.

Beautiful, large lot.

What's your guess?

JOHN: I am going to give you a guess of $1,150,000.

LEX: Okay.

CHRISTINE: Hmm.

LEX: And yours?

CHRISTINE: I'm gonna come in at $1.25.

LEX: Unfortunately, you guys are both over.

JOHN: Oh.

LEX: So, the list price is $1.125.

CHRISTINE: Oh, you were close.

JOHN: Ah.

I was so close.

LEX: You were close.

CHRISTINE: You were really close.

JOHN: One more shot.

LEX: Yeah.

(doorbell) Ribbit, ribbit.
