ROWENA: Welcome to property number three.

CHRISTINE: Well, I can definitely tell we've kinda left that '60s era, and we have more modern living.

JOHN: Modern farmhouse.

CHRISTINE: Yes.

ROWENA: You're right.

In fact, this neighborhood is so special.

It's a mix of both old and new homes.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: There's some Victorian homes right around the corner.

CHRISTINE: So before we go in and tour the home, you know, our track record today hasn't been that great.

JOHN: It's been lousy.

CHRISTINE: Pretty much... JOHN: Yep.

CHRISTINE: Pretty much.

ROWENA: Well, I really just want you to think about location, location, location.

We're close to Rockville Town Center, the Civic Center, the Metro, everything in the heart of Rockville.

JOHN: Mmm.

Okay.

CHRISTINE: Okay, all right.

JOHN: We're gonna take those words, and we're gonna carry those words with us.

CHRISTINE: We are.

All right, we'll see you for the game.

ROWENA: All right, see you then.

CHRISTINE: All right.

JOHN: All right.

CHRISTINE: You know what?

This yellow door's gonna bring me luck.

JOHN: I hope it does.

CHRISTINE: I feel it, I feel it.

All right.

JOHN: Wow, what an entry.

CHRISTINE: I know, what a wide foyer.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: And you can see, it's a new build.

JOHN: It is a new build.

And a guest bathroom right to our right.

CHRISTINE: Ooh, I like that wallpaper.

Oh, wait, that's not wallpaper.

That's tile.

JOHN: Ah, now, you know, we've seen that tile before on floors.

CHRISTINE: Exactly.

JOHN: But I love it on the wall.

CHRISTINE: Not on the wall.

I know, and the ceiling height in here, it is a great accent.

JOHN: Visual impact.

CHRISTINE: I like that.

JOHN: All right.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Good start.

CHRISTINE: Shall we go to the kitchen?

JOHN: Kitchen.

All righty.

I just love these neutral palettes in these new homes.

CHRISTINE: All right, great countertops.

JOHN: Yes, those are quartz, nice veining throughout.

CHRISTINE: I like the veining, definitely.

JOHN: With the gray, mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: Definitely, okay.

Farmer sink.

JOHN: That is a huge sink.

This is a house of large sinks.

CHRISTINE: And I know you're probably eyeing the appliances.

JOHN: Beautiful stove.

I love it.

And no kitchen would be complete without a pot filler above your stove.

CHRISTINE: Ah.

That's another thing on the checklist.

JOHN: Checklist.

CHRISTINE: All right.

JOHN: So we've got this nice peninsula here.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

JOHN: For the breakfast bar.

CHRISTINE: Well, and you know what?

You could easily fit six people, but look at this.

All this extra storage.

JOHN: More storage, always good.

CHRISTINE: Nice.

And it leads right into the dining area.

JOHN: I can envision a very large table.

CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Maybe for 12 in this area.

CHRISTINE: Yeah, and what's great is the whole open concept right from the kitchen and dining room into the living room.

JOHN: The living room.

And you have a bar for cocktail hour with a wine fridge.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

Well, I see some more great tile.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

Okay, this is one nice mudroom.

CHRISTINE: Well, the tile just grabs your eye.

JOHN: Yes.

CHRISTINE: But we got all these cute cubbies, this large bench.

JOHN: I think this is an award winner for us.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: I would just hang out in that room, it's so pretty.

CHRISTINE: Ooh.

JOHN: All right, nice porch.

With three fans overlooking the backyard.

CHRISTINE: Now, this is nice.

JOHN: Yeah, all season.

You know, I think I saw a hallway down here.

CHRISTINE: Let's go take a look.

Washer, dryer.

JOHN: All right.

CHRISTINE: All right, and look it, more great tile.

JOHN: Yeah, they've got good taste in tile.

CHRISTINE: I know.

JOHN: Okay.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Into maybe a den?

CHRISTINE: Wow.

That's a good question.

Because you've got these great patio doors.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

Out to that screened-in porch.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Okay, well, whether it's a den or a bedroom, you could transition this into a bedroom, and then you could age in place because you have one-floor living.

CHRISTINE: Nice.

Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Right?

And, of course, this would really seal that deal.

A bathroom.

CHRISTINE: I don't think we've quite seen something like this.

JOHN: It's pretty long.

CHRISTINE: It is very long.

Okay, first of all, double vanity, and the shower head's even more great tile work.

And then there's one more door back here.

(gasps) John, it's a walk-in closet down here.

JOHN: Well, this is a perfect suite.

CHRISTINE: This is a great bedroom.

JOHN: All right.

Well, this was a good surprise.

CHRISTINE: It was.

JOHN: Okay, so why don't we head upstairs?

BOTH: Oh.

CHRISTINE: Almost missed a door.

JOHN: Downstairs, basement.

All right, spaces to the left and right.

CHRISTINE: I could see using as another seating area.

JOHN: Yeah, or a gym.

CHRISTINE: Gym would be perfect.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

Okay, should we check upstairs?

JOHN: Let's do it.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

I like these steps.

JOHN: All right.

CHRISTINE: Oh, what do we have here?

JOHN: A nice landing.

CHRISTINE: Wow, okay, so this is, like, the perfect book nook.

JOHN: Yeah, sure.

CHRISTINE: And I think they even designed it that way because they've got the lights by the bookshelves.

But I also see this as a great gallery wall too.

JOHN: Oh, yes.

Okay, rooms to the left, to the right.

CHRISTINE: Uh, let's go this way.

JOHN: To the right.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Bedroom number two.

Closet over here.

Great windows.

CHRISTINE: Yep, and you even have, oh, it's a Jack and Jill.

JOHN: Oh, the old Jack and Jill bathroom.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

Nice double vanity, great tile again.

JOHN: More great tile.

I love that they've varied the tile, but they kept the, uh, quartz counters throughout the whole place.

CHRISTINE: Right.

JOHN: And then, we have your shower, tub, and toilet.

CHRISTINE: And look, wraps right around to... JOHN: Connected to our third bedroom.

Now, this is cozy.

CHRISTINE: It's so quiet in here.

Because I think, you know, you have this very lush carpet.

JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: That really absorbs the sound, and closet space.

JOHN: And closet space, all right.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: All righty, Tina, bedroom number four.

CHRISTINE: Out of all the bedrooms, I will say, this has the most unique layout.

JOHN: It certainly does.

Nice L-shape, and you have double doors to a closet over here.

CHRISTINE: Closet, okay.

JOHN: And hey, hey, hey!

You have a full bath in this bedroom.

CHRISTINE: Same finishes, except this time they used honeycomb tile.

JOHN: Oh, we love honeycomb.

CHRISTINE: I think they covered everything.

JOHN: I think they did.

Okay.

All right, that does it, Tina.

CHRISTINE: It does, the pressure's on.

The pressure's on.

JOHN: Okay, this is our time for redemption here.

CHRISTINE: Don't go over, don't go over.

JOHN: Let's try.

Let's go find Rowena.

CHRISTINE: Hello.

ROWENA: Hi, welcome back.

How was property number three?

CHRISTINE: The only thing I have to say is, tile.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Great, great tile, and just fabulous designs, and just a great cohesive look throughout the entire home.

ROWENA: And that primary bedroom on the main level.

CHRISTINE: Yes.

JOHN: Yes.

At first we're like, "Is this a den?

Is it a TV room?"

And we're like, "Oh, no, it's a bedroom, a great bedroom."

And then we saw the beautiful bathroom.

ROWENA: And I need that closet too.

JOHN: Everybody needs that closet.

ROWENA: Well, what about upstairs?

CHRISTINE: The minute we walked up the steps, and you had that landing.

JOHN: Cristina was like, "I think we should have an art gallery here."

And three great bedrooms, adorable.

You know, I love a good Jack and Jill.

You don't see them often, and I think we need more of them.

ROWENA: So before that big decision, let me give you the stats one more time.

We have four bedrooms, three and a half baths, over 3,000 square feet.

It was originally built in 1923, and completely rebuilt in 2023.

JOHN: I do love Rockville so much.

So I am going to give you a guess, Rowena, of 1,125,000.

CHRISTINE: Hmm.

Okay, so I think I'm going to come in at 1.1 million.

Okay.

ROWENA: Okay.

The list price is 1.19 million.

JOHN: Ah, yes!

We won.

I...

This is a collective win for both of us.

We did not go over.

CHRISTINE: Oh my gosh.

JOHN: Jeez Louise.

Thank you, Rowena, for a fun day.

ROWENA: Thank you.
