Mount Vernon

Once home to George Washington’s farmland, Mount Vernon prides itself on its history. Led by realtor Lauren Kolazas, hosts John and Christine guess the listing prices on a quaint starter home built in 1950, a mid-century modern home designed by architect Charles Goodman, and a breathtaking colonial with influences from the 1770s.

Peter Christensen, a guide at the Pope-Leighey House, and Barbara Bogue, Chair of the Friends of Hollin Hills discuss the neighborhood's roots as the brainchild of renowned architect, Charles Goodman. When he designed Hollin Hills in the 1940s, Goodman hoped to encourage community and maximize family interaction with home designs that were heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Christine and John are impressed with how much character and functionality is packed into this 1,500 square foot home in Alexandria's Bucknell Manor neighborhood. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, an updated kitchen, and a family room addition there's plenty to love inside. But what really makes this property stand out is the incredible outdoor space.

John and Christine are blown away by the design and flow of this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath mid-century modern home in Alexandria's Hollin Hills neighborhood. Large windows looking out on the half-acre wooded lot provide ample natural light as thoughtful renovations combine the home's mid-century modern roots with more recent upgrades. John is ready to move in but can he correctly guess the home's price?

Located on what was once George Washington's farmland, this home has a classic feel, inside and out, and combines aspects of Neo Classical, Palladian and Georgian architecture. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and 6300 square feet there's a lot to explore and plenty of surprises including an indoor pool and jacuzzi.
