(doorbell) DANA: Welcome to house number three in Bethesda.

We are in English Village.

It's... JOHN: I suddenly want tea.

It's bizarre.

(laughs).

DANA: There's no sidewalks.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

DANA: There's no curbs.

It's designed to feel like a country lane.

CHRISTINE: It did feel like a country lane.

DANA: And yet, you are walkable to downtown shops and restaurants.

JOHN: Hard to believe.

DANA: Yeah?

Most of the properties were built in the '30s and '40s.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

DANA: This one was actually built in 2000.

If you sit out here on this beautiful front porch, you will see the whole world walking by, and you can have your coffee while you're doing it.

JOHN: Lovely.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

DANA: I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Tell me what you think, okay?

JOHN: All right.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

We won't be shy about that.

(laughs).

Okay.

JOHN: Oh, nice entry.

CHRISTINE: The minute you walk in, this staircase just draws your eyes in.

JOHN: Great angles up and down.

All right, into the living room?

CHRISTINE: I love that they have it set up as a music room.

JOHN: I do, too.

CHRISTINE: You have your kids come down and play for everybody.

JOHN: Yeah, nobody wants to hear that.

CHRISTINE: Yeah, no.

No.

JOHN: But you know it's lovely, 'cause a lot of people don't even use these, you know, living rooms, right?

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: I know we didn't in my home.

But, um, this is a great space.

CHRISTINE: It is.

Okay, so it flows right into the dining room.

Here's that open concept.

I have a feeling that this probably gets used often.

JOHN: It would be great for formal dinners, but... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: I would eat in here every day.

CHRISTINE: And I like that light fixture.

JOHN: Gorgeous, and I like how big this room is too.

CHRISTINE: Right.

JOHN: Okay, wow.

Into another big... CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Open concept space, with the kitchen.

CHRISTINE: You can tell that the design incorporated the whole outside into this room.

And I mean, when you walk in, it is a wow factor.

JOHN: Okay, Tina.

I know you like two things.

You love a good corner sink.

CHRISTINE: I do.

JOHN: And you like a window above your sink.

CHRISTINE: I really like that.

JOHN: And in this house, you have a corner window sink... Combo.

CHRISTINE: Ah!

JOHN: Dreams come true, Tina.

CHRISTINE: I, that is... JOHN: Dreams come true.

CHRISTINE: That is great.

Okay, this breakfast area, it's just so lovely.

JOHN: Everyday dining.

CHRISTINE: I know.

JOHN: And a giant bay window.

Okay, family room.

CHRISTINE: It just rounds out such a wonderful, cohesive space.

And then, I mean, a fireplace.

JOHN: And these great built-in shelves with the lighting.

Wait a second, are you feeling well?

Because you haven't mentioned the floors one bit today.

What is going on?

CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: These are gorgeous floors.

CHRISTINE: Well, there's so many other things to see in this house that have grabbed my attention, but yeah, the floors are nice.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Ugh, they, they... JOHN: Check out the floors in the next room, too.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

All right.

Great.

JOHN: What's down this hallway here?

CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Oh, look at that.

CHRISTINE: Oh, a mudroom!

Oh, look, it's super cute wallpaper.

JOHN: I love it.

Muddy boots, coats in the closet... CHRISTINE: Yep.

JOHN: And away you go.

On my side, half bath.

Nice angled wall makes it more interesting.

And then... CHRISTINE: So they're using this as an office.

JOHN: Yes.

CHRISTINE: But it's nice to have a bedroom on the, the first level sometimes.

JOHN: Absolutely.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

All right.

JOHN: Okay.

CHRISTINE: Downstairs?

JOHN: Down we go.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: This house has the greatest staircases.

CHRISTINE: It does.

Now, this is a dream space for a family.

JOHN: The game room.

You could entertain 20 people in this room.

CHRISTINE: You could.

JOHN: We can play a little game of air hockey while we're here.

CHRISTINE: You know, I'm pretty good at air hockey.

So... JOHN: And I think I am myself.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

JOHN: Okay, but first... CHRISTINE: But...

I know.

Let's, let's continue.

JOHN: Let's look at the house.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: All right.

CHRISTINE: Full bath in the basement.

JOHN: You know, it's nice that it's down this private hallway, especially if you're entertaining 20 people.

CHRISTINE: Exactly.

Oh, now this is a perfect use for this space.

JOHN: A gym, but could be a bedroom, too.

Lodging for some of those 20 guests.

There you go.

CHRISTINE: True.

JOHN: Up this great staircase.

CHRISTINE: Let's head on up.

JOHN: Oh my gosh, talk about the wow space in this house.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: This is it.

CHRISTINE: Definitely, this whole staircase with the light.

JOHN: Okay.

CHRISTINE: Okay, so... JOHN: Why don't we start here to the left?

CHRISTINE: Sounds good.

JOHN: Bedroom number one.

CHRISTINE: Okay, so a great kids' bedroom.

JOHN: Yeah, nice.

CHRISTINE: But you know, I have to take a look.

So, this is a full bath.

JOHN: Wow.

CHRISTINE: Growing up with two sisters, do you know what I would've done to have had my own room with my own private bathroom?

JOHN: Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

CHRISTINE: That would've been a dream.

JOHN: My gosh.

Well, these are some lucky kids.

This is definite... CHRISTINE: Oh, definitely... JOHN: Is this the primary suite?

CHRISTINE: I would say, yes.

JOHN: Another wow space with these windows.

And even more importantly, you can see the neighbors have a pool.

CHRISTINE: Ooh.

JOHN: Nice pool.

Always be friends with the neighbors with the pool.

CHRISTINE: Oh, it's a good tip, good tip.

JOHN: Glad to help.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

This is a good size bath.

JOHN: Well, you love a good corner sink, I know.

But here, you have a corner tub.

CHRISTINE: Uh, it's jets.

JOHN: What more do you want?

All right.

Well, I think there's something in the front.

Telling you, I am crazy... CHRISTINE: All right.

JOHN: For this space.

CHRISTINE: Oh, there's two... JOHN: Hey.

CHRISTINE: Bedrooms back here.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: I got a nice bedroom.

Big closets.

CHRISTINE: So I have a nice bedroom.

It's probably more of the corner bedroom.

JOHN: And you know, I think I have a bathroom.

CHRISTINE: Ooh, I have a bathroom too.

JOHN: Oh, you know... CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Hi, neighbor.

CHRISTINE: It's a Jack and Jill.

JOHN: Shared bathroom.

So basically, every bedroom in this house has its own bathroom.

CHRISTINE: Well, this one, you have to share though.

JOHN: Little share.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

But that's... JOHN: But for kids... CHRISTINE: Hey, that's okay.

I will take it.

JOHN: You would've shared with your sisters, right?

CHRISTINE: I, we, well, we did.

JOHN: Well, there you go.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

Whoa.

JOHN: Uh... CHRISTINE: Another great space.

JOHN: Oh, this is awesome.

CHRISTINE: Oh, this place is just so comfy and casual.

I just wanna... Plunk down and let you finish, 'cause I'm tired.

JOHN: Take a load off, huh?

CHRISTINE: Thank you.

JOHN: Finish this tour.

Okay, well, bedroom number five here.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: With its own designated bathroom.

CHRISTINE: If you had teenage kids, they would be fighting over this space.

JOHN: Oh, you got that right.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

So there's no place else to go.

JOHN: Nope.

CHRISTINE: So let's go find Dana out back.

JOHN: Let's do it.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Oh, boy.

CHRISTINE: Hey.

JOHN: That was a delightful house.

DANA: Oh, I'm so glad.

What did you think?

JOHN: Well, I loved the whole vibe of it, that casual elegance.

I love the staircase.

I love the lighting in this house.

CHRISTINE: And you know, that whole open concept, it creates such a warm space.

DANA: It is.

CHRISTINE: Every window in the house, you just looked out on this beautiful backyard.

DANA: Yeah, that the windows open up onto this 10,000 square-foot lot, and it really makes it feel like a retreat.

JOHN: Sure does.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

DANA: This is a six bedroom, five and a half bath home, over 5,000 square feet, built in 2000.

What do you guys think of the price?

JOHN: Okay, my guess is... 2.4 million.

CHRISTINE: Hm.

DANA: Okay.

CHRISTINE: That's a good guess.

And this is a tie-breaker, so... DANA: This is, We got a lot riding on this one.

JOHN: A lot.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

I'm gonna come in just a little lower... JOHN: Okay.

CHRISTINE: At 2.3 million.

DANA: Okay.

JOHN: No, no, no.

DANA: The list price... Is 1.895.

JOHN: Oh!

Wow.

DANA: But it did not sell for 1.85.

It did go very quickly in four days with multiple offers, so... JOHN: Okay.

DANA: You guys are actually right on to the penny.

CHRISTINE: Me?

DANA: Yeah.

JOHN: Oh, wow.

CHRISTINE: Penny!

DANA: To the penny.

JOHN: That's dynamite.

DANA: So, pricing and sales is... Can be completely dynamic.

CHRISTINE: Right.

DANA: But you nailed it.

CHRISTINE: Dana, thank you so much... DANA: Thank you, guys.

CHRISTINE: For showing us Bethesda.

And I learned a lot.

JOHN: Oh, you did?

Yeah.

DANA: I did, too.

I did, too.

JOHN: You are the best host in Bethesda.

DANA: Thank you so much.
