BCP Delivers Another Win for Client and the Overlook Community!

By leveraging a focus upon Overlook, a deeper understanding of the relevant TH micro-market, and superior presentation of my client's house both visually and detailing the "Livabilty" benefits from choosing to live in Landmark Mews, my client got a record high sale price for this Overlook TH model.

I got the privileged of fully furnishing my client's beautifully upgraded TH for maximum visual impact.

What was the Result?

My client got a sale result that is $30K and $53K more than two other nicely upgraded Overlook THs of the same model.

And the new homeowner got a beautifully upgraded TH in a great Community at a proper market valuation.  A great result for all involved.

• The $815K sale price is $30K more than another nicely upgraded 2200 sq.ft. Overlook TH model that listed for a below market value price ($800K), then sold for even less with a first week offer ($785K) during the height of the Spring market with nearly no competing TH inventory.  For context, $785K is the same price that I obtained for 6228 Split Creek in February 2023, when I set the new Overlook high sale price for this model TH.  The recent seller realized none of the price appreciation that occurred in this Market over the subsequent 15 months.  This selling homeowner used their buyer agent from the TH purchase in Spring 2020, rather than an agent who focuses upon Overlook and knows the relevant TH micro-market.

• The $815K sale price will be at least $53K more than the sale price for another 2200 sq.ft. TH on Split Creek that has been on market for more than 4 months with 7...seven...price reductions.  While this TH was overpriced to a comically absurd degree when it listed for sale, the price reductions have long passed proper market valuation.  The issue is not price, especially since the price has been at $800K or below since late-June.  I sold this TH in early 2021, so I know the TH has nice upgrades and presents nicely, especially when I fully furnished the TH.  The issue is - beyond the woeful pricing strategy - no effect on visual presentation.  The TH is vacant, with poor quality photos.  To make the visual presentation worse, all house photos are in vertical orientation and presented in a disjointed, out-of-sequence manner.

Image what you can do with $30,000 & $53,000 as an Overlook selling homeowner. 

Same market. Same Overlook TH model.  Same quality of house. 

Different real estate agent.

The quality, credibility, and experience of your choice of real estate agent wIll have a decisive impact upon each client's home selling or buying outcome.

Please enjoy this 3 bed, 2 full & 2 half bath, 2-car garage, 2218 finished sq.ft. TH in the Overlook community located at Alexandria’s West End.  The quality & scope of the upgrades throughout the house present a rarely found opportunity: A truly move-in ready home located inside the Beltway with immediate access to 395/495/95, but also within a tree-lined, green-space community surrounding a Fairfax County Park.

To learn more about Overlook, check out the Listing Agent's website on Overlook.  Ask your agent for the URLs to both the branded Property website (for Community and West End Alexandria videos) and the Overlook website, which is a comprehensive source of visuals and information on choosing Overlook as your Home.  The website includes a Community video with spectacular aerial views and videos/info on restaurants, shopping, and other "Livability" benefits from proximity to everything, including the WestEnd Alexandria project with the new Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus.

If you are viewing the non-branded version of this property website, ask your agent for the URL to the branded version so you can view the videos on the Community, the WestEnd Alexandria project, the Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus, the West End and Old Town Farmers Markets, & sights around Old Town Alexandria.

More details are below about the house features & upgrades, the Overlook community, and the coming WestEnd Alexandria project that will bring a World-class hospital (the new Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus) and shopping, dining, & entertainment options five minutes from Overlook.

Overlook Details:

Overlook is a community of 443 homes that surrounds Fairfax County's Bren Mar Park.  This Park-setting is rare for a community located Inside the Beltway, providing not only green space for residents to enjoy, but also immediate access to 395/Beltway/95, with all the Living amenities available in the West End of Alexandria. ​

Dining, shopping, recreational, and cultural options found in Washington DC, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and Tysons are within easy reach.

A wide range of regular Life necessities are all within 10-15 minutes from Overlook. For example, The St. James, a 450,000 sq.ft. sport, wellness, and lifestyle complex is a 10-minute drive.

​Entering Overlook, you enjoy a drive up a tree-lined avenue, which gives the Community a feeling of calm apart from the rush of daily Life.

Bren Mar Park provides 32 acres of mature trees, Turkeycock Run stream, Truss bridges, and walking trails for Overlook residents to enjoy.

Overlook's green spaces and the Park, coupled with greater separation from other houses for better privacy, are quality of Life features that are rarely found in a community located inside the Beltway.

Overlook also offers its residents an outdoor pool, playgrounds, walking trails, and tennis/pickleball court.  As seen in the Overlook community video, the Community pool looks more like a Resort-level pool than a typical residential community pool.  You can see views of the pool in the Community video uploaded to this website (also at LivinginOverlook.com).  Verizon Fios is also available. ​

The Van Dorn Metro is located less than a 10-minute drive.  Bus service from the Overlook entrance at Winter View Drive is a six- minute ride to the Van Dorn Metro. 

WestEnd Alexandria Project (Landmark Mall Redevelopment):

Overlook is well positioned for residents to reap “livability” and house valuation benefits from the WestEnd Alexandria development project (formerly Landmark Mall) and other planned projects along the Landmark-Van Dorn Corridor.

On December 22, 2020, the City of Alexandria announced the plan to redevelop Landmark Mall, with Inova as the anchor client and Foulger-Pratt as the local developer.

The video section of this website contains videos with full details on the WestEnd Alexandria project, the new Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus located at WestEnd, and current status of the project (updated through the December 2022 City approval of the development plan for Phase 1 Blocks).

On February 2, 2022, Foulger-Pratt announced that the name of the redevelopment project will be "WestEnd Alexandria."

As part of the project, Inova will build a new World-class hospital complex with a:

• 230 in-patient hospital (all private rooms);
• Level II Trauma Center (1 of 3 in NoVa), providing 24-hour specialty services for brain injuries, complex fractures, and other trauma care;
• Level III NICU;
• Comprehensive cancer care center;
• Advanced services for obstetrics, heart & vascular, & neurosciences; and
• Medical office building for 50 specialty physicians.

WestEnd Alexandria is designed to be a community gathering place for Alexandria's West End, with residential, retail, and restaurants, 3.5 acres of public parks, a minimum of 25% open space for each block, a transit hub, and a new fire station.

Vertical construction will start in 2024, with the first non-Hospital buildings ready in late-2025.  Road construction has already started.  The new Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus is on schedule to open in the 3rd Quarter of 2028.
