Speechless Sundays - When Ecofriendly Is A Misfit

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:42:22 -0600

There are not many things more elegantly inviting and soothing than a gas lit carriage house or post lamp. Nowadays, we primarily use attractive flickering incandescent candles. However, I suspect the people who designed the first lamps would be appalled to see ecofriendly light bulbs installed in this light fixture. It doesn't "work" for me.

The Lake Ridge Eggstravaganza Set For April 3, 2010

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:58:35 -0600

One of the advantages of living in a subdivision the size of Lake Ridge is the number of community activities planned by the Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association. The staff is very adept at developing programs that appeal to a broad range of age and interest levels.

A prime example is the annual Eggstravaganza.

Wordless Wednesday - Surviving An Invasion

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:49:55 -0600

Manassas is an historic city in central Prince William County, VA. Two major Civil War battles were fought here as the railroad junction was critical to both sides.

The part of the city around the railroad junction is Old Town Manassas. It has been revered for years and is a major attraction for both locals and tourists. Many buildings that are not protected and were of little or no use have been replaced with office buildings - my RE/MAX office is one of them. Yesterday I looked between it and its' bank building neighbor and couldn't help noticing a Victorian that has survived the invasion. There are numerous other residential survivors and many of them have been converted to offices of law firms, accountants, financial planners, etc.

ABOUT WOODBRIDGE
Woodbridge is a geographic and postal location in Prince William County VA. Its’ boundaries are determined by 3 ZIP codes - 22191, 22192 and 22193. The Woodbridge area has a population of approximately 90,000 people.In the Commonwealth of Virginia if you live in a county (that's the vast majority of us) all of your services are provided by the county. That includes schools, public safety, water and sewer, courts, libraries, hospitals etc. The elected officials of the county are Supervisors and one of those folks is the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. The day-to-day business of managing county agencies falls to the County Executive who serves at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors. This is also true of the police chief, fire chief, and school superintendent. The sheriff is elected as is the clerk of court. Therefore, you only pay one tax - your real estate tax. You do pay a water and sewer bill since that is a function of your personal usage.

Speechless Sundays - High On A Hill Remembering It's Former Grandeur

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:47:45 -0600

Arthur and I have lived in Northern Virginia for 37 uninterrupted years. During that time we have taken full advantage of the opportunity to visit scores of historical sites that are not on the "tourist tours." Huntley is not open to the public and is heavily secured to protect it from vandalism. Since we photographed it there is no question it is in plain view for all to see. It sits at the highest elevation in Fairfax County and has a southern "to die for" view.

Part of the original 1,000 acre estate is now Huntley Meadows Park, a major wetlands preserve in Northern Virginia.

COMMUTING

EXPRESS BUS SERVICE to the PENTAGON and WASHINGTON, DC is available at the Festival Shopping at Old Bridge shopping center in Lake Ridge - less than 10 minutes

CARPOOLS usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see OMNIMATCH for more specific details

SLUGGING (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated SLUG STOP in Lake Ridge - it is the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It's free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 - win win!!

RAILROAD The Virginia Railway Express WOODBRIDGE STATION with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from The Glen in the morning rush hour.

Wordless Wednesday - Curb Appeal Has Nothing to Do With Age

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:59:22 -0600

Over the past 34 years as real estate brokers in Northern Virginia my husband and I have seen more than our fair share of cosmetically and materially challenged homes. We have listed them for sellers and we have sold them to buyers. Of course, in each instance the list price and final price was considerably less than normal due to the condition of the property.

The 18th century home below is maintained by Prince William County and the 19th century church is maintained by the still existent congregation. Even so, there are private residences as old that are beautifully maintained.

We have a difficult time understanding why someone would allow property to deteriorate as much as they do
