KAY: Welcome to house number one, the Carlton here in South Arlington.

JEN: All this green space is really surprising.

RICARDO: Yeah, it looks like everyone's got a balcony too, which is great.

KAY: That is one of the most unique features.

So, when this was built in 1965, it was a luxury high-rise condominium here in South Arlington and had the largest pool in all of Arlington County.

JEN: Wow.

RICARDO: Ooh.

Is that pool still here?

KAY: It is still here in all of its glory, plus we have tennis courts and pickleball.

JEN: So hot right now.

RICARDO: Yeah, it is all the rage.

KAY: Yeah.

RICARDO: So, can you tell us a little bit about the neighborhood amenities?

KAY: We are nestled between the Columbia Pike corridor and downtown Shirlington, so you have dining, entertainment, shopping options in both of those areas.

Now, our bus system is fabulous.

You have two stops right outside of the Carlton here, but you can also easily walk to both of those locations.

JEN: So, what can we expect to see inside?

KAY: So, the home has been updated since the 1960s.

JEN: Boo!

KAY: It does have an updated kitchen, updated bathroom, but what has always stayed the same are the views.

You've gotta check out the private terrace with the views of the creek.

You guys are just going to love it.

JEN: We will head out to that balcony as soon as we can, and then we'll see you afterward for the game.

KAY: Can't wait to see how you do.

JEN: Okay.

RICARDO: Great.

See you soon.

JEN: Yay!

House number one.

RICARDO: Okay.

Ooh.

JEN: Oh!

RICARDO: You're definitely not in the '60s.

JEN: No.

Certainly feels very updated.

I think this living room, great size.

Also, really flexible.

RICARDO: So much natural light coming in here.

You've got this floor-to-ceiling window.

Do you wanna take a look outside on this patio?

JEN: I don't think that you could stop me, honestly.

RICARDO: Spectacular.

JEN: Oh, this is so great.

RICARDO: It's so nice to have a little bit of outdoor space when you're up in a high-rise.

JEN: Yeah.

I mean, this would be a great spot for your morning coffee.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: To unwind at the end of the day.

I mean, can you hear the sound of the creek?

(rushing water) RICARDO: Such a bonus.

Let's see what else is here.

JEN: Okay.

How great, in a condo of this size, to have a dedicated dining room.

And you know it's a dining room...

BOTH: Because it's got a chair rail.

(laughter).

RICARDO: I love that this light fixture also adds a pop of color.

It looks like a Tiffany-inspired piece.

JEN: Yeah.

Why don't we see what the kitchen's like?

RICARDO: All right.

JEN: So, I'd say this is a traditional condo layout kitchen.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: But I'm really surprised by the amount of cabinets and storage.

RICARDO: Yeah.

I like the light colors of the countertops, and I like the way that it matches the backsplash.

JEN: I might consider updating the laminate to be, like, granite.

RICARDO: Yeah.

I think it would be great to have more natural light.

Maybe opening up this wall would help bring some more natural light in here.

But other than that, great starter kitchen.

JEN: Let's see what's down the hall.

RICARDO: Great.

JEN: Nice double-door closet in the hallway.

RICARDO: Yeah, and they picked up the hardware too.

JEN: Well, this is where the rest of the natural light is.

RICARDO: Love that you have access to the patio, and you've got your own little Juliet balcony here too.

This is a great size as well.

JEN: How neat is that?

What's over here?

Oh, this is a nice big walk-in.

RICARDO: Wow!

JEN: Well, let's see what's down the hallway.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: Okay.

The bathroom.

RICARDO: Nice refresh in here.

JEN: I like the tile in the shower.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Very light and bright.

Let's see this other bedroom.

RICARDO: Okay.

Oh!

JEN: Wow!

RICARDO: This is so perfect.

JEN: I don't think I've ever seen a slider that big.

RICARDO: How enjoyable to have these views to wake up to every morning.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: And I am so impressed by the amount of storage in this place.

JEN: And different types of storage.

RICARDO: Yeah, well, I think we've seen everything there is to see.

It's time to go find Kay and play the first game of the day.

JEN: Ooh, let's go!

RICARDO: All right.

JEN: Hey, Kay.

KAY: So, what did you think of home number one?

RICARDO: Surprisingly spacious.

JEN: Yeah, and really flexible.

Each room gave you some options for layouts.

KAY: Right?

Each room feels quite large.

JEN: How interesting to have a dedicated dining room in a condo of this size, and the vintage, Tiffany-inspired light really did give it a pop of color.

RICARDO: And you also have so much storage, I think, which was also a big surprise.

JEN: This is a great starter home, because it gives you a place to grow.

RICARDO: Yeah.

Now, what is the condo fee?

KAY: The condo fee on this is $1,000 per month, but that does include all of your utilities, your covered parking space, and all of the building amenities.

RICARDO: With all that in mind, could you tell us all of the stats?

KAY: This house has two bedrooms, one bath, 1,084 square feet.

It was built in 1965 but renovated throughout the years.

JEN: So given the condo fee, it's kind of changed my price a little bit.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: So, I'm gonna guess 254,500.

KAY: Okay.

RICARDO: I am going to say 224,900.

KAY: So, the list price of this property is... $250,000 even.

RICARDO: Oh, I won!

JEN: Oh!

Yay!

RICARDO: Sweet.

JEN: I was closer though, but it's fine.

RICARDO: Yeah, thank you "Price Is Right" rules.

KAY: Congrats on winning the first game, Ricardo.
