(doorbell) DEIRDRE: Welcome to house number two.

CHRISTINE: I feel like I've just arrived at summer camp.

JOHN: Yeah, this feels like a resort.

DEIRDRE: It is kind of like a resort.

You're in the Truro neighborhood in Annandale.

It's an established community with a lot of mid-century modern homes and this is a typical one.

One level living, clean lines, and large picture windows that you can just bring the nature in.

Not a whole lot of homes go on sale in this neighborhood because people love living here.

CHRISTINE: Well, I can't wait to see inside.

JOHN: All right.

DEIRDRE: All right, let's go.

JOHN: Let's do it.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: Oh, I like it already.

CHRISTINE: Well, I think we know what the star of this home is.

JOHN: Those windows, that view.

CHRISTINE: Exactly.

JOHN: They just frame those woods... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: So perfectly.

CHRISTINE: I think you just feel this immediate like, ah... JOHN: Totally.

CHRISTINE: As soon as you walk in.

JOHN: Yeah, and, this great vaulted ceiling with the center beam.

CHRISTINE: And, you know, this ceiling is probably tongue and groove pine, but they painted it white for... JOHN: Lightens up the space.

CHRISTINE: Exactly.

New flooring.

JOHN: Yup.

CHRISTINE: These touches that they've done brings it right up to a contemporary feel today.

But, I gotta try this, okay?

This isn't your wood burning fireplace.

JOHN: This is not, but it's kinda cool.

CHRISTINE: But still, I've got to... (beeps) Ooh.

JOHN: Oh, look at that.

CHRISTINE: Nice.

Okay, so do you notice something?

JOHN: The deck didn't convey to this house.

CHRISTINE: I know, it's BYOD, bring your own deck.

But standing here, you know, this is really a spacious area for a dining room.

JOHN: Yeah, so far I like the proportions of these rooms.

They're just right... CHRISTINE: Yeah.

JOHN: Big enough.

CHRISTINE: Well, I feel they're kinda spacious.

Well, speaking of not being spacious this kitchen is small.

JOHN: But look, we both fit, you know.

CHRISTINE: Okay, all right... JOHN: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINE: I'll give you that.

But, I'm just saying, look it, I mean, you can't do both at the same time.

JOHN: Well, you don't bake or do dishes, so, you know... CHRISTINE: Oh wait, so this is, this is a good kitchen for me.

JOHN: It's perfect for you.

And, you know, uh, you didn't even notice that you're resting against a gorgeous sink.

CHRISTINE: Oh!

You know I love these farm sinks.

JOHN: And a kitchen window.

CHRISTINE: Okay, so I guess this kitchen is for me.

JOHN: See, you're a convert.

So, yeah, nice, uh, kitchen counters, right?

CHRISTINE: I do like this white quartz with the white cabinets.

JOHN: And, this is coming from a cook here... CHRISTINE: Yeah.

JOHN: It has plenty of counter space and has everything that you need.

CHRISTINE: All right.

JOHN: Little, uh, breakfast area.

CHRISTINE: Nice.

JOHN: Let's head downstairs.

CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Ooh, this is nice and open.

CHRISTINE: Boy, this does not feel like a basement at all.

JOHN: It surely does not.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

So, over here, wood burning fireplace.

JOHN: Love it.

CHRISTINE: And, nice... JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Tile work.

JOHN: And I also like that they continued these floors down here too.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Nice continuity throughout the house.

And you have two more of these windows like the ones upstairs that look out... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Into the back where there's a little patio.

CHRISTINE: The view is fabulous.

JOHN: Yeah.

And then, this big area may be like... CHRISTINE: Oh, perfect for a pool table, gaming area.

JOHN: I dig it.

All right, over here we have just a little room under the stairs, perfect for a little office.

CHRISTINE: All right, I'm gonna check out this room.

You know John, it's long.

I would probably use it as an exercise room with all the equipment.

JOHN: Yeah, it'd be great for a treadmill in there.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Okay.

Hey.

CHRISTINE: Oh, nice.

JOHN: We have a full bath.

Brand spanking new.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

JOHN: And I like the tones, it goes with the rest of the house.

CHRISTINE: Yeah.

JOHN: Nicely done.

And then, we have what could be a bedroom.

CHRISTINE: Nice.

JOHN: They fit a lot into this space down here.

Okay, well that was a dynamite lower space.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Hey, and look at this.

Look who I am.

I'm Greg Brady.

CHRISTINE: Oh my gosh, yes, you're Johnny Bravo.

JOHN: Come on, Jan, let's go.

CHRISTINE: Oh, why do I have to be Jan?

JOHN: Well, you, you could be like... CHRISTINE: Oh yes, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha."

JOHN: All right, Tina.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: I think to the last portion of this house.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

All right, so I have a bedroom here.

Not huge, but the space works.

JOHN: Oh, that's kinda uncanny 'cause I have a little bedroom.

CHRISTINE: I think they're twins.

JOHN: They're mirror images there.

CHRISTINE: Okay.

JOHN: And... CHRISTINE: All right, full bath on this floor, really great remodel.

And, the accent piece in the middle.

JOHN: You like glass tile.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

So, we're walking down like, a hallway that leads to... JOHN: The primary bedroom.

CHRISTINE: And a great view.

JOHN: Well, that's, you know, why you're buying this house... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: Right, big portion of it.

CHRISTINE: Right.

JOHN: So... CHRISTINE: I'm guessing... JOHN: Yup, oh, nice.

CHRISTINE: Wow.

JOHN: Every primary suite has to have a nice bathroom.

This one's not big... CHRISTINE: But... JOHN: But it sure has nice finishes.

CHRISTINE: They have done a great job on all the bathrooms in this house.

JOHN: Yeah, this is very handsome.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.

JOHN: This house knocked my socks off from top to bottom.

CHRISTINE: I think you're ready to sign the dotted line.

JOHN: Well let's try to guess the price first.

CHRISTINE: Hey, enjoying the view?

DEIRDRE: Hey, guys.

I am enjoying the view.

So what'd you think?

CHRISTINE: Well, I think John is ready to buy this place right now.

JOHN: I love this house.

I could see myself in this particular house.

CHRISTINE: Just some of the touches, the flooring, you know, even painting the ceilings just really made this place feel contemporary and modern.

DEIRDRE: Exactly.

And I love that they kept the overall feel... JOHN: Oh, yes.

DEIRDRE: But then made it updated.

JOHN: Well... CHRISTINE: Exactly.

JOHN: I'm sure it was groovy in the '70s and it's groovy now, you know.

This is timeless.

DEIRDRE: It is, it is.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Walking up, it looks deceptively small because when you get in here, there's a lot of space.

DEIRDRE: The high ceilings really open... JOHN: Mm-hmm.

DEIRDRE: Up the space and you have got all the big... CHRISTINE: Exactly.

DEIRDRE: Windows letting all the light in.

JOHN: This is why you buy this house.

DEIRDRE: This is it.

And this is one of the features of mid-century modern homes.

CHRISTINE: I do see one thing that's missing looking out this window, a deck.

JOHN: It's a must have for this house.

CHRISTINE: Oh, definitely.

JOHN: And, since there's an HOA, would you have to go through the HOA to get that approved, or?

DEIRDRE: Yes.

CHRISTINE: Speaking of HOA, what are some of the amenities?

DEIRDRE: They've got a clubhouse, a pool, tennis courts.

CHRISTINE: What is the fee?

DEIRDRE: $210 per year.

JOHN: Oh.

CHRISTINE: Per year?

DEIRDRE: But then you have to pay another $500 something for the amenities.

JOHN: Bargain.

DEIRDRE: Mm-hmm.

So, let's talk about the stats.

Four bedrooms, three full baths, 2828 square foot, built in 1972.

Acreage is 0.28.

Two car garage.

CHRISTINE: I'm gonna come in at a listing price of $900,000.

DEIRDRE: Okay.

JOHN: I'm going to give you a guess of $825,000.

CHRISTINE: Ooh.

DEIRDRE: Okay, very good.

The listing price is $849,900.

CHRISTINE: Oh.

JOHN: Oh.

DEIRDRE: Congratulations, John.

JOHN: Thank you for that.

I... DEIRDRE: You're the winner.

JOHN: I win the house, it's the best gift I've ever been given... CHRISTINE: I, I don't... JOHN: On this show.

CHRISTINE: I, I don't think you won the house.

JOHN: I invite you all to the party on my deck... CHRISTINE: No.

JOHN: Which will be next week.

CHRISTINE: You didn't win the house.
