Hope to see you there!

My current listing at 807 Clear Spring Rd. offers an fabulous opportunity to purchase a home with over 6,000 square feet of living space on two levels.  Sit on the front porch and enjoy the idyllic setting proved by the nearly 3.2 acres of land.  Break out your best mint julep recipe to watch the world go by out front while the kids play in the Keebler Elf style treehouse situated in the backyard play area.   I don’t know it for fact, but several neighbors have said the Mother Teresa occasionally strolled the property’s trails that wandered through the trees out back.  You may be able to feel her presence when viewing the “Peace Pole” that stands next to the treehouse.

Inside, the home boasts six bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half baths.  The top quality gourmet kitchen was remodeled by the current owners and includes all new cabinets, appliances and much more.  The living room, dining room, and cozy family room make for a perfect flow for all your parties.  The maid’s quarters/Au-pair suite with private entrance is situated adjacent to the kitchen.  The remainder of the main level includes four bedrooms and three full baths.

The entire lower level (except for two closets) was also fully remodeled by the current owners.  Your guests will love the two room in-law suite which includes large closets, access to a private patio and a totally remodeled bathroom with steam shower.   Who could ask for more?  Also found on the walk-out lower level is an abundance of space for a home theater.

We’re doing two open houses this week at 11742 Great Owl Circle, Reston, VA 20194. On Saturday, we’ll be there from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday we’ll be there from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

We’re doing another open house on Sunday (4/19/09) at 11742 Great Owl Circle, Reston.  We’ve also pulled together a bunch of pictures of the first floor of the house into what’s called a PhotoSynth.  A Photosynth is a unique way to do a three-dimensional tour of the house using standard pictures.  It seems a little clunky at first, but once you’ve played around with it a little bit its a unique way to navigate photos.  Let me know what you think in the comments.

Ever since its announcement, there has been considerable confusion over the first-time homebuyer credit.  A frequently asked question pertains to whether or not someone can co-sign on the note and still have the principal buyer qualify for the credit.  I had asked numerous lenders, title attorneys and other realtors all of whom had given me the same basic answer.  This being, “Well they should be able to qualify” or “They must be able to get it.  This was actually the conclusion I had already drawn, but wanted a definitive response.   After three weeks of trying to come up with the answer, I finally got to the bottom-line.   As long as the co-signer is not a spouse (who has owned a home within the last three years), the principal is indeed entitled to the tax credit.  The answer if provided by Rob Dietz, Ph.D., director of tax issues for the National Association of Home Builders.  If you would like further info, simply check the link:  Homebuyer Tax Credit.  Feel free to contact me for additional info on other First Time Homebuyer incentives.
