Stately Historic Residence + Retractable TV Screens: VA/DC Dream Homes

VIRGINIA/DC — This week's featured homes in Virginia and D.C. include a stunning five-bedroom manor in McLean with serene landscaped grounds and a stately detached home on one of the most sought-after streets in Georgetown.

The McLean estate lets residents enjoy summer cookouts in a covered outdoor kitchen. A saltwater pool with water fountains will keep residents cool this summer, and they can relax by a TV with automatic retractable screens.

The corner residence in Georgetown is available for the first time in over half a century. The house features sophisticated period details, moldings, high ceilings, four fireplaces, and an elevator servicing three of the four levels. The historic residence is exceptional for entertaining with its formal rooms.

For homebuyers, mortgage interest rates are currently running at 5 percent for a 30-year fixed mortgage. A year ago, the rate was 3 percent.

According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, it’s worth considering the inflation rate before you decide to wait. Inflation a year ago was at 2.6 percent, while today it’s at 8.5 percent, the highest it’s been since the early 1980s.

The Wall Street Journal article says: "Given all this, should you buy now or worry that if you do, house prices will crash? Buy now. Houses, like most physical assets, retain their real value during high inflation and have done far better than most such assets."

Patch has put together a collection of beautiful homes currently on the market in D.C., Northern Virginia and Fredericksburg. You can find photo galleries of properties in the listings linked in each article.
