<p>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 &#8220;as-is&#8221; and will be part of a 1031 Starker Exchange for tax purposes (no cost to the buyer). <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Priced at $475,000. </span><strong>AR7389085</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />

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!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 <a title="Vienna Town Green Concerts" href="http://www.dougfrancis.com/2010/05/vienna-va-town-green-2010/" target="_self">Vienna Town Green</a>, a weekend farmers market, the W&amp;OD Bike Trail (you can walk or run too), an organic bakery, <a title="Bazin's Restaurant on Church Street" href="http://www.bazinsonchurch.com" target="_blank">Bazin&#8217;s on Church</a> Restaurant, great pizza at Church Street Pizza, Nelson&#8217;s Frozen Custard Shop, Bikes@Vienna and much more.

<p>The Town of Vienna, Virginia is where I have lived for the past 12 years  (time flies).</p>
<p>The <em>Town of Vienna</em> has it&#8217;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 <a title="Real Estate Tax Rates in Vienna, VA" href="http://www.dougfrancis.com/2010/06/town-of-vienna-real-estate-tax-rate-2010-2011/" target="_self">property tax</a> currently set (2011) at $0.2448 per $100 of assessment on top of the Fairfax County property tax.</p>
<p>The Town of Vienna covers 4.4 square miles, and has a population of approximately 15,000.</p>
<p>Memorial Day Weekend: <em>Viva Vienna</em> on Church Street</p>
<p>Early December: Holiday Stroll on Church Street</p>
<p>Late April: Walk on the Hill, Windover Heights Historic area</p>
<p>Vienna Farmers Market takes is held Saturday mornings across from the Freeman House on Church Street</p>
<p>Oktoberfest: Late October on Church Street</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This fantastic four bedroom colonial in the Virginia Run community in Centreville, VA that backs to true parkland, has an oversize screened-in porch and was a really good house to buy for my buyer clients. Turn key and not a short-sale. Doug was the &#8220;buyer&#8217;s agent&#8221; in this transaction.</p>
<p>The home was built in 1993 and featured the expanded floor plan.</p>
<h3>Shameless Home Buyer Agent Plug</h3>
<p>As my client&#8217;s &#8220;<a title="Realtor's role as a Buyer's Agent" href="http://www.dougfrancis.com/2010/01/the-realtors-role-as-a-buyers-agent/" target="_self"> buyer agent&#8221;</a>, I was able to keep this transaction together even though my clients were in California. Understanding their limited time on the ground here in Northern Virginia, I discovered what they wanted and showed them their options on a few of their cross country house hunting trips. When we discussed mortgages, I was able to uncover a unique solution to dealing with stringent new mortgage lender requirements. And when they decided on this home, put together a strategic offer that beat out a competitive offer.</p>
<p>After all that, there was not an extra fee charged by my company, the Sellers paid the real estate commissions, and my clients bought a great house that they are thrilled with!</p>
<p>If you want to consult with me, then shoot me an e-mail right now&#8230;</p>

<p>Mint condition town home located close to Fair Oaks, Fairfax, and some of the best shopping on the East Coast including Wegman&#8217;s, Whole Foods, REI, Costco, Target and the Merrifield Garden Center. Walk to an almost new Fairfax County Elementary School (Eagle View), Fairfax County parks and walking trails and so much more.</p>
<p>3 level, rear load two-car garage, almost new condition. 3 bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This 4 bedroom, two car colonial wasn&#8217;t your typical short sale in Herndon, Virginia&#8230; it was much better!</p>
<p>Lots of space, finished lower level, big bedroom sizes. But it took a lot of work, time, patience, and a couple off-hand prayers. Took about 2 months (fast) but almost 30 days without any response to the offer! Bought in 2009.</p>
<p>My thoughts on the short sale process are further expressed <a href="http://www.dougfrancis.com/2009/08/real-estateshort-sale-success-northern-virginia/" target="_blank">here&#8230;</a></p>
