Yesterday, a group of Evers & Company agents crossed the Potomac River to help a colleague price a house in Arlington, Virginia.
One agent who lives nearby thought the price might have to go down a bit because the elementary school was not a well rated as others in the county. OK, schools are important, but...
This house had a great finished basement. And in the basement there was a feature that made me flip my proverbial wig. And rats! I didn't have my little camera with me!
The owners had two large Shepherd mix doggies. And in the basement, the husband (an excellent home improvement contractor) had built in a totally fabulous dog bath! Everyone there with a dog was saying forget about the crummy schools, this place has a freakin' dog bath! What I wouldn't give for one of those!
It was low enough that the dog could jump up and in easily. And it was high enough that the dog washer didn't have to bend down. Dang! It just made my heart skip beats!
When I redo the back of my house, I will have to put one in for Willie - if not for me!
In the meantime, if you're a dog person looking for a great house in North Arlington, call me! This one might be yours.
Tomorrow afternoon between 1 and 4, I'm introducing my new listing in Arlington, Virginia to the market. It's a pretty townhouse with an amazing view of the Potomac River, looking toward Georgetown University and Key Bridge. If you travel a lot, you're a few blocks to the Roslyn Metro, which will whisk you off the National Airport. 
The house has many upgrades. 
Second Level: master bedroom with river views, fireplace and built-in bookcases. The master bath has travertine tiles, large whirlpool tub, seperate shower and water closet. There is a second bedroom.
Third Level: third bedroom with hardwood floors, fireplace and full marble bath. There is ample storage space on this level.
Lower Level: rec room with French doors leading to large deck and hot tub overlooking the River and Georgetown. There is a wine chiller, fireplace and closet with room for a full bath.
