In this week's Above Asking, we highlight homes in Arlington and Silver Spring that attracted a lot of attention from buyers.

A $74,000 Premium For The Right Size Home
Dubbed the "right-size" home, this four-bedroom in Arlington's Lyon Park attracted a lot of attention and recently closed for about $75,000 above its list price. With a home office, guest room, powder room on the main level, separate laundry, and a screened-in porch, there is hardly a square foot of wasted space. A 2015 kitchen renovation by architect Sarah Vakkur anchors a light-flooded family and dining room addition defined by a dramatic wall of windows that spills out onto a lush backyard with a patio and fire pit.

$37,500 Above For The Glass House In Silver Spring
Known as The Glass House, this Charles Goodman-designed four-bedroom recently sold for $37,500 above its list price. The chef's kitchen anchors the main level, which also includes three bedrooms (one with its own private covered deck), and folding glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out. A floating iron staircase leads up to the upper-level primary suite, which features a private deck and a spa bathroom. Outside, a large entertaining deck overlooks a landscaped backyard with mature trees, manicured garden beds, and a stone pathway.
