5260 Winter View Drive

Think the Choice of Agent does not matter? 

Another agent listed the house for over three months at $900K without any buyer interest. 

After taking over the listing, BCP got our client $110K more in only 3 days.

How does BCP produce such a result?

The difference is BCP applied our unmatched approach to superior visual presentation and knowledge of the micro-market relevant to Overlook, which allows BCP to understand what buyers are willing to pay for a superior house in a sought-after community like Overlook.

Rather than present an empty house to the market, BCP fully furnished our client's empty house from the "House of BCP" interior design collection to ensure maximum visual impact, both online and in person, to drive both buyer interest and top-tier price.

What does this sale mean for Overlook?

BCP got our client the highest city home sale price since 2005, with a $90K higher price than for a similar end unit city home backing to Bren Mar Park sold by a "luxury" agent in early 2020. 

With this sale and BCP's sale of 6271 Kingfisher for $970K in August 2020, BCP has raised the value of Overlook city homes by $50K, then by a further $40K.

If you are thinking of selling your Overlook house, BCP stands ready to help you achieve the best possible result.

Overlook community details:

When entering the community, you enjoy a drive up a winding, tree-lined boulevard, which gives Overlook a feeling of calm apart from the rush of daily Life.  Overlook surrounds Fairfax County's Bren Mar Park, with its mature trees and walking trails.  This green space, coupled with wide streets and greater separation from other houses for better privacy, sets Overlook apart from most communities inside the Beltway.  When living in Overlook, these quality-of-Life features are yours to enjoy.

Overlook is located just inside the Beltway, with immediate access to 395/495/95 and a bus to the Pentagon Metro that you can catch with a pleasant 10-minute walk from the front door.  The Van Dorn Metro is located less than a 10-minute drive.  Dining, shopping, recreational, and cultural options found in Washington DC, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and Tysons are within easy reach.  The St. James, a 450,000 sq.ft. sport, wellness, and lifestyle complex is a 10-minute drive from Overlook.  A wide range of regular Life necessities are all within 10-15 minutes.  The planned redevelopment projects within Alexandria’s West End are located to benefit Overlook from their proximity, but Overlook will still offer a neighborhood, park-like setting that is rarely found inside the Beltway.

Overlook also offers its residents an outdoor pool, an outdoor tennis court, and playgrounds. The community pool is a 5-minute walk from the house through Bren Mar Park.
