Wanna Buy a House?

It's a rowhouse-style duplex, in Arlington, VA, Alcova Heights neighbourhood, on 3rd St S, just west of S Glebe Rd. Walk to Ballston and 20-min bus or 10-min drive to the Pentagon. here's the listing. My friend is asking $409,000, and the hot tub may convey. House dates from 1940, and has original light fixtures, and a razor blade slot in the bath. Fabulous front-loading washer and dryer.

razor blade slot? Does one just fill the bath fixture with blades over tiem?

The slot's in the wall. When you open a wall that has a razor blad slot, one finds scores, or hundreds, of them, plus whatever kids put through the slot over the years. So you're filling a wall cavity.

No HOA fees? Walk to metro? Yow.

Yep, and the lot's deep enough to double the size of the house, with room to spare.

Sounds like my kind of house. I love older homes!
