1110 16th Street S. Arlington VA 22202

July 14, 2010 by Doug Francis · 1 Comment 

House for sale on 16th Street South in Arlington VAA nice opportunity to live in Addison Heights in one of the original duplex or side by side homes built in 1939. Overall it is in good condition and move-in ready, but it would also be perfect for someone looking to remodel a classic that is within walking distance of the Metro station at Pentagon City, shopping at the Fashion Centre, or a nice dinner at Pentagon Row.

This home has  a finished, walk-up basement with a full bath, hardwood floors on the main and bedroom levels, and the sought after finished attic space reached by a secret staircase in the master bedroom.  This is not a short sale, but is being sold “as-is” and will be part of a 1031 Starker Exchange for tax purposes (no cost to the buyer). Priced at $475,000. AR7389085

To see more of the photos, they are available on the Google Picassa page for this home… some are duplicates but, I feel, the more the better. Please note in the photos that the parcel behind the shed and chain-link fence  (tax ID 37-005-028) conveys so your new back yard will be 400 square feet bigger!

Now that’s cool…

The home has a (SentriLock)  lockbox for REALTORS, or you can call Doug Francis, REALTOR, for a private showing @ 703-304-6827.

Town of Vienna, Virginia

January 25, 2010 by Doug Francis · Leave a Comment 

The main photo is of the historic Freeman House that is located on Church Street. It is really a center for the town and its lifestyle as on one side is the Vienna Town Green, a weekend farmers market, the W&OD Bike Trail (you can walk or run too), an organic bakery, Bazin’s on Church Restaurant, great pizza at Church Street Pizza, Nelson’s Frozen Custard Shop, Bikes@Vienna and much more. Charming brick sidewalks and a really nice spot for a dozen events through out the year.

The Town of Vienna, Virginia is where I have lived for the past 12 years  (time flies).

The Town of Vienna has it’s own elected Mayor and Town Council. There is a Public Works Department, Police Department, Volunteer Fire Department maned by professional Fairfax County Firefighters, a town hall, town green, annual Halloween Parade, 4th of July fireworks show and much more. Although it is within Fairfax County, residents of the Town pay an additional property tax currently set (2011) at $0.2448 per $100 of assessment on top of the Fairfax County property tax.

The Town of Vienna covers 4.4 square miles, and has a population of approximately 15,000.
