BCP applied our unmatched approach to superior visual presentation and knowledge of the micro-market relevant to Overlook to obtain the highest sale price for this TH model in Overlook history.

Your Choice of Real Estate Agent Matters.

With two sales in two months...

BCP raised the value of the 2200 sq.ft. Overlook TH model by $75K. 

While at the same time, other agents get their Overlook clients less money for larger end units or significantly undervalue the list price, thereby reducing their client's sale result.

Please enjoy this 3 bedroom, 2 full & 2 half bath, 2-car garage, 2218 finished sq.ft. townhouse in the sought-after Overlook community in Alexandria, Virginia.

The upgrades throughout the house present a rarely found opportunity – A move-in ready home located inside the Beltway with immediate access to 395/495/95, but also within a tree-lined, green-space community surrounding a Fairfax County Park.

While residents live in this Park-like setting, Overlook is also perfectly positioned for residents to reap “livability” and house valuation benefits from the forthcoming Landmark Mall redevelopment and other planned projects along the Landmark-Van Dorn Corridor.

A full description of the house features and upgrades, the Overlook community, and the Landmark Mall redevelopment project is provided below.
