JEN: I love skylights.
RICARDO: Yeah, skylights and chimneys, too.
JEN: Yeah.
THEO: All right.
Well, welcome to house number one.
RICARDO: This neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous, it's nestled delightfully in all these trees.
THEO: And that's actually one of the coolest parts of this community.
You're right by all the hustle and bustle of town but in a little bit more privacy.
JEN: So, what can we expect to see inside the house?
THEO: Even though it's a condo, it feels a little bit more like a townhouse.
And on your main level, you're gonna see huge vaulted ceilings that makes this space feel so much bigger.
RICARDO: Well, I can't wait to take the tour, and we will see you afterwards for the game.
THEO: All right, see you on the other side.
JEN: I'm excited.
RICARDO: Ooh.
Oh, yeah, I love the ceilings.
This loft it looks really cool.
And the skylight is gorgeous.
This fireplace is definitely the centerpiece of this room.
JEN: And then these cut-out windows are so cute.
RICARDO: Oh, those are adorable.
JEN: Let's... RICARDO: But what I didn't expect was these floors.
JEN: Beautiful.
RICARDO: These are gorgeous.
I love the dark wood.
JEN: Yes, and then we have this nice little formal-ish dining area.
RICARDO: Dining room, yeah, it's a lot more spacious in here than I thought it would be.
JEN: Well, why don't we take a look down here and see what's down this hallway?
RICARDO: Okay, let's go.
This is... Ooh.
JEN: Ooh, half bath.
RICARDO: Wow.
Jen, look at this wall.
JEN: Yeah, that stonework is very unique and surprising.
I wonder what other surprises are in store.
RICARDO: Let's find out.
JEN: Let's see... yeah.
Whoa.
RICARDO: Hey, look at all this space.
JEN: Yeah, I love the peninsula countertop with optional seating here.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm, but I might just update the cabinets to go with this lovely granite countertop.
And look at this deck.
JEN: I think outdoor space is just so important.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm.
And I think you could put a full-size dining room table in here.
JEN: Yeah, let's head upstairs.
RICARDO: All right.
JEN: Oh, we move into carpeting.
What an unexpected space this loft area is.
RICARDO: I might use this as a lounge area, maybe put my gaming system in here.
JEN: Or even a little playroom for, like, children-children, not adult children like us.
For sure.
This amazing view from above.
And even here on the second level, the ceiling still feels so high.
This is so cool and very unique.
RICARDO: Yeah, different.
JEN: Yeah.
Oh, cute.
RICARDO: Ah-ha.
JEN: So, a nice guest room.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: Maybe some bunk beds or two singles might be cute in here.
RICARDO: That's a great idea.
JEN: Love the closet.
RICARDO: Storage, yeah.
JEN: Yeah, this is great.
Let's check out the bathroom right off of this room, shall we?
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: Lovely.
RICARDO: Nice and bright.
JEN: Yeah, perhaps it could use a little update.
RICARDO: I would add some of that stonework from down there to this bathroom.
JEN: Oh, that'd be neat.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: Yes.
Oh, the primary.
RICARDO: Yeah, the crown molding continues through here.
JEN: And I like that they have an accent wall.
It makes it feel large.
RICARDO: You could easily fit a queen size bed in here.
JEN: Yeah.
Oh, this is big.
RICARDO: Oh, yeah, it's a lot bigger than I thought.
JEN: Yeah.
So, we have jacuzzi tub, which is so nice.
And these shelves here for your plants or candle.
RICARDO: And a separate stand-up shower, that's great.
You can't go wrong with the double vanity.
JEN: And I really love these light fixtures.
Look at the pattern it's leaving.
RICARDO: Those are fun.
JEN: Yeah, they are fun.
Well, this was cute.
Full of surprises.
RICARDO: Yeah, I like it, I think it's time to go meet up with Theo and play the game.
JEN: Yeah, let's go.
RICARDO: All right.
THEO: All right, well, welcome back.
So, what did we think of house number one?
JEN: I mean, I'm surprised to call this a condo, right?
It feels like a house.
RICARDO: Yeah, the natural light coming through complimented the dark hardwood floors.
That fireplace framed beautifully by the windows and those cut-outs at the top.
THEO: The fact that this house has floor-to-ceiling windows, you really get a feeling like you're really tucked away in nature.
JEN: And I also felt like this was an entertainer's dream, given the size of the kitchen, the counters, the dining room.
And then, boom, you're right out onto the deck.
RICARDO: Yeah, but upstairs, the primary was a great size, and the bathroom with the jacuzzi tub, a stand-up shower, double vanity.
JEN: It seems to kind of have it all.
THEO: Absolutely.
RICARDO: So, what is the condo fee here?
THEO: You're gonna be paying $450 a month, and you have access to the community pool, clubhouse, and they do all the exterior maintenance as well.
JEN: So, before we get to the game, can you give us the stats on this property?
THEO: Definitely.
It's a two-bed, 2 and a half-bath house, 1,590 square feet, and it was built in 1990.
What are your thoughts on the price?
JEN: You wanna go first?
RICARDO: You wanna go first?
(laughter).
JEN: Okay, okay, I'll go.
I'm gonna guess 452.
THEO: Okay.
RICARDO: I will say 444,000.
THEO: All right, so, even across the board.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm.
THEO: This house is currently listed at 465,000.
JEN: Yeah!
RICARDO: Oh.
JEN: You know, with all the space and the amenities, I'm actually really not surprised at all by that price.
RICARDO: Yeah, makes sense.
JEN: Yeah.
THEO: So, now you've had a chance to see house number one in Occoquan.
So, why don't we head over to Lorton to see what they have to offer.
JEN: Sounds good.
RICARDO: Sounds good.
I'm gonna win next time.
JEN: Oh, yeah, sure.
