ANNOUNCER: Support for "If You Lived Here" comes from...

The Yuen Foundation.

Committed to bridging cultural differences within the greater Washington DC community.

And now "If You Lived Here," a WETA original series.

RICARDO: Hey, DMV.

I'm Ricardo.

I'm a native Washingtonian.

JEN: And I'm Jen.

I've lived in all four quadrants of the district.

RICARDO: We're best friends who wanna show you around.

JEN: Today, we'll tour three open houses.

RICARDO: We'll try to guess each list price without going over.

JEN: And together, we'll find out what it would be like...

BOTH: If you lived here!

(doorbell).

RICARDO: Here's Kay.

KAY: Hi, Jen.

Hi, Ricardo.

Welcome to South Arlington.

JEN: Thank you so much for meeting us here today, Kay.

It is bustling down here.

KAY: That's why I wanted to meet you right here in the center of downtown Shirlington, a hub for shopping and dining in South Arlington.

There is just so much energy, and this is where we have so many amazing events.

RICARDO: Both Jen and I have been to Shirlington before.

There's so much to do.

We've got Signature Theater back here, which is one of my favorite spots.

KAY: We are right on the main strip, which starts with the Signature Theater, and actually ends at the WETA building behind me.

RICARDO: Well, I think, uh, both of us are pretty big fans of WETA as well.

So, what are the boundaries of South Arlington?

KAY: South Arlington is everything south of Route 50, and we do butt right up against the city of Alexandria.

We're also right next to 395, which can get you in and out of D.C. in a matter of minutes, and, of course, we've got DCA just a few miles away.

JEN: So, how long have you been in the area?

KAY: I've been living here for the last 14 years, and I have to say, I feel like I have found my home.

Originally being from the Midwest, I was looking for a place that had that community feel.

I've truly found that with South Arlington.

RICARDO: So, can you talk a little bit about the housing inventory available here?

KAY: South Arlington is generally considered the more affordable side of Arlington County.

You still have condominiums, townhomes, and single-family houses, but they tend to be a bit less expensive than what we find in North Arlington.

Today, we'll visit an example of each, starting with a condominium right around the corner.

RICARDO: Oh, let's get into it.

JEN: All right.

(doorbell) 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.

I cannot wait to show you the next home.

It's in a community that's near and dear to my heart.

It is my home community of Fairlington.

JEN: All right.

You lead the way.

KAY: Come on, guys.

RICARDO: All right.

BETH: Prior to World War II, Fairlington was an agricultural area.

It was mainly a horse farm.

Right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, there was a huge inflow of people coming to help the war effort.

Housing was really, really in short supply, so the federal government took over 322 acres in South Arlington, and they developed it into 3,500 housing units for people that were either working for the government or the defense department.

This was the largest housing project for the Defense Department.

They decided to call this Fairlington, which is a mixture of both Fairfax and Arlington.

Kenneth Franzheim designed Fairlington in a colonial revival style.

They are small houses, and you were allotted a house based on how many people were in your family.

When families moved here during World War II, there was really nothing developed around here.

There were no houses of worship that were in Fairlington.

The school was finally finished in 1944.

I don't know that it was super easy to live here.

There was a sense of community because they were all living away from families, and they needed to rely on each other.

In the '50s, Fairlington was sold, and it became rental properties.

The condo conversion of 1977 of North Fairlington becomes the largest condo association in the mid-Atlantic.

They were marketing to the young and hip.

"Come to our tennis courts, come see our pools."

The outside of Fairlington absolutely looks like it did in the '40s.

Now, it's on the National Registry of Historic Places.

What you see is what you get.

You can't tear down a building and put up a McMansion, and I think that people buy into Fairlington knowing that not much is gonna change around here.

Fairlington's probably always felt like its own little town from the very beginning, and it... That is definitely something that has continued, whether it be because of these community events, or these community gatherings, like the farmers' market.

It feels like its own kind of self-contained little village.

(doorbell) RICARDO: The brick everywhere is so beautiful.

KAY: Welcome to home number two here in the Fairlington neighborhood.

Fairlington is a place I have called home for the last 14 years.

JEN: Oh!

Then it must be good, because I also have a friend who lives here.

It's just such a quiet, great area.

KAY: What you may not know is that Fairlington was created in the 1940s to support the war efforts.

It now consists of over 3,000 homes.

JEN: Wow!

KAY: So, we have all of the rich history, with now the modern amenities of a condominium association.

RICARDO: So, is there anything special about this particular unit?

KAY: While the exterior of the home may look just like it did back in the 1940s, the interior has been completely remodeled from top to bottom.

One thing you will note is they did keep the original hardwood floors from the 1940s.

JEN: You're gonna have such a good time in this one.

RICARDO: I can't wait to walk around in there.

JEN: Why don't we head in, then?

KAY: Absolutely.

Take the tour, and I can't wait to play the game when you guys are done.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Thanks.

JEN: See you in a bit, Kay.

RICARDO: Oh!

JEN: Ooh!

Nice open concept.

RICARDO: Yeah, I definitely don't feel like you're in the '40s.

And we're in an end unit, so you've got so many windows.

I love the recessed lighting as well.

JEN: And you don't have to mess around with so many lamps.

RICARDO: Yeah, and these floors look amazing.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: Let's see what's around this corner.

JEN: Okay.

Ooh, pretty.

RICARDO: Is this island big enough, do you think?

JEN: Let's see your wingspan.

RICARDO: Oh, wow.

JEN: Oh, my God.

Wow!

This is the size of a full bed.

RICARDO: If you like a firm mattress, you'd love it.

JEN: You got it.

And this really modernizes this kitchen, because this really is of our era.

RICARDO: Yes.

JEN: Storage over here.

The trash is hidden here, which I love.

It has power and seating.

In addition to the breakfast nook, which, surrounded by these windows, I think is just a really nice place to sit.

RICARDO: Yeah, and the backsplash is beautiful.

JEN: Oh, I really do like the green tones.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: It looks like there's some steps down.

Do you wanna go?

RICARDO: Let's go.

JEN: Okay.

(Jen gasps) Well, this is a surprise.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: This is big.

RICARDO: A nice-sized bonus room.

JEN: You could fit a lot of furniture down here.

RICARDO: I'm in love with this wall of cabinets.

JEN: I want all the storage I can get for all of my out-of-season stuff.

RICARDO: I love the vinyl plank floors also.

JEN: Mm-hmm.

RICARDO: Durable, easy to maintain.

I love it.

JEN: Yeah.

It looks like there's a little bonus room back here.

Oh, just a wee little room here.

RICARDO: Oh, nice.

JEN: I feel like it might be a little small for a guest room.

RICARDO: Yeah.

You probably couldn't use this as a bedroom, 'cause there's no real door.

JEN: Well, actually, I spied...

BOTH: A pocket door!

RICARDO: These are great space savers.

JEN: Definitely.

So, I guess it could be a guest room, especially considering it's got a full bath.

RICARDO: Yeah, and nicely updated.

JEN: Yeah.

I really like this light fixture a lot too.

RICARDO: A nice updated vanity.

And I see you've got a washer and dryer in here too.

JEN: Let's see what's upstairs.

RICARDO: All right.

JEN: I like the open banister.

RICARDO: Yeah, that's great.

JEN: Let's take a peek in this bathroom.

Okay.

Another full bath.

RICARDO: A nice refresh.

I love that they've updated the floors in here.

JEN: Yeah, I like the countertops on this vanity.

Very pretty.

RICARDO: This tile work too.

JEN: Yeah, kind of reminiscent of the backsplash in the kitchen.

Yeah, this is a great refresh.

All right.

Nice size.

No lighting, though.

RICARDO: Hmm.

JEN: Thank goodness for these two windows, 'cause they definitely help bring some light in.

But let's see what's down the hallway.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: This is big.

RICARDO: I am loving the size of the room.

I am loving that you've got windows on both sides.

Definitely big enough for a... JEN: Cali king?

RICARDO: Cali king, yeah.

And these floors look brand new.

JEN: They definitely don't look 80 years old.

RICARDO: So, there's a lot to think about in house number two.

JEN: Yeah, I think it's time to walk these floors one last time and find Kay for game number two.

RICARDO: Let's go.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: There's Kay in this beautiful living room.

KAY: So, tell me what you thought of the home.

JEN: You know, it's been a long time since we've been in an open concept, so it was really nice to just be able to see this whole level right when we walked in.

KAY: Absolutely.

JEN: Very impressive.

KAY: It completely changes the space when you start doing some demo work.

RICARDO: Yeah and let's talk about this massive island, where you can entertain an entire party.

JEN: Sleeps two.

RICARDO: But I feel like you needed it in there because you needed more countertop space.

And I loved the fact that the floors were in great condition... KAY: Yeah.

RICARDO: And they were all throughout the property.

KAY: I hope I look this good at 85, right?

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: Amen.

RICARDO: Yeah.

KAY: This is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom town-home.

1,689 square feet, including the basement.

Built in 1944, and then renovated throughout the years.

RICARDO: I'm gonna say 698,500.

KAY: Okay.

JEN: You're gon' be mad at me, 'cause I'm guessing $699,999.

KAY: Ooh, just going right above you.

RICARDO: She's evil.

You evil.

She's evil.

KAY: The price of this home is... $710,000.

JEN: Woo!

I needed a win.

710,000 actually was going to be my guess, but because you went so low, I was terrified.

KAY: It ended up working out, and you did win this round.

JEN: And we have one more house to have a tiebreaker today.

RICARDO: Yeah, the dream house.

Tell us about it.

KAY: Absolutely.

So, we're leaving Fairlington to view a single-family home in the Claremont neighborhood that has also undergone an amazing renovation.

I cannot wait for you to see it.

JEN: Me too.

All right, let's go.

RICARDO: All right.

Let's get going.

JEN: Break that tie, baby!

LORIN: Shirlington was first developed in 1943 by Joseph Turner, known as the Shirlington Business Center.

Shirlington is a combination of Shirley and Arlington, because Shirlington is right next to Shirley Highway, Interstate 95 and 395, and from Route 7 to the Pentagon that got built just two months before the Shirlington Business Center opened.

People could just go right off the highway, and go visit Shirlington, and get their errands done.

So, Shirlington by the 1950s is really booming, and eventually, they get a good anchor store, the Lansburgh Department Store, and it became one of the largest shopping complexes in the area.

People no longer had to go into downtown because they could get the same conveniences right next door.

So, in the 1980s, there was a major renovation of Shirlington, and that started to attract new businesses.

WETA is one of those.

JIM: WETA started as the dream of, uh, our founder, Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, who was a retired school teacher in the early 1950s.

And all across the country, this notion of educational television was starting to bloom, and the FCC actually started to allocate a channel per market for educational television.

WETA ended up with Channel 26.

The first broadcast was October 2nd, 1961.

GEORGE: This station is an aid to the child, an educator to the adult, a voice of the community.

JIM: WETA was a channel without a facility, so they turned to schools because that's what Mrs. Campbell knew the most about.

And so the first facility opened up in the basement of Yorktown High School in 1961, and then the first content was a classroom show called "Time for Science."

MIKE: The actual student population at first didn't really know or understand what was down there.

TV wasn't that old in that day and age.

The room itself was 50 feet by 50 feet.

That was the entire operation, all in that one room.

We had to know each other very well.

(laughs) My first position would've been running camera.

Everybody chipped in where they could.

I mean, even the directors would sometimes be sweeping the floor.

Most of the programs were geared for students.

They used part of the Yorktown School staff to teach some of those programs.

JIM: So, WETA, up until about 1970, was a local venture only, and then Watergate happened.

This entity that we had built called NPACT, they decided to do coverage of the Watergate hearings.

Gavel to gavel, morning to evening.

ROBERT: Those tapes could settle, once and for all, how much the President knew and when.

JIM: Coverage of Watergate that we provided for PBS used Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer, and that put them on the map.

And to this day, those recordings are considered some of the most important recordings in television news history.

ROBERT: For NPACT and Jim Lehrer, I'm Robert MacNeil.

JIM: That is what led to the creation of "PBS NewsHour."

So, here we are in the year 2025.

We still have Channel 26, but we also have four additional channels.

We have multiple websites, and we have multiple radio station frequencies as well, and we now have in excess of 400 people working here in South Arlington.

In addition to all the office space, we have all of the production facilities for television, including two new studios.

It's like a time warp going from what we used to have to what we have now.

And then in addition to the studios, we have the ability to host community events right here in the building.

Since the turn of the century, a new commitment to local programming has yielded programs into the arts, food, diversions, and "It's Academic."

Sharon Percy Rockefeller has actually done more to build upon what Mrs. Campbell started, and has expanded it to a national audience.

We now are the home of the NewsHour, Ken Burns, Skip Gates, and I don't know that Mrs. Campbell could ever have envisioned that.

(doorbell) KAY: So, here we are at home number three.

This lovely single-family home is in the Claremont neighborhood.

While we are still close to all of the amenities from downtown Shirlington and the Columbia Pike Corridor, in this community, you get a little bit more space.

You have a yard, and Barcroft Park, it's just down the street.

JEN: I really like this rustic wood detail up on the roof that matches the door.

It gives it a very warm feeling.

KAY: They actually brought in a custom woodworker to add little details throughout the home.

RICARDO: I have to say though, Kay, it's a little bit smaller than some of the typical dream homes that we've seen.

KAY: You know, I thought you may say that.

But while it's cute and cozy on the outside, you are going to be shocked with how much space you actually get.

When you guys are done, I will be here for the game, and I can't wait to see who breaks the tie.

RICARDO: Oh, boy.

Here we go.

(laughing) Whoa!

JEN: It really is bigger on the inside.

RICARDO: Yes, ma'am.

JEN: And while it's an open concept, it's making a very clear divide between these two spaces, which I appreciate.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: This ceiling is very different.

I really like the shiplap.

And then, the angles are so interesting, something you don't see every day.

RICARDO: Yeah, it really gives it a modern farmhouse feel.

And I just love the millwork around all the windows.

JEN: And then, looking out onto this patio.

I mean, look at all of this green space out back.

RICARDO: Absolutely.

Can we talk about this whitewashed brick fireplace?

JEN: Sometimes I can't believe people have painted over original brick, but it really works in here.

RICARDO: Absolutely.

JEN: Why don't we take a look at the other side of the fireplace?

RICARDO: Okey-doke.

JEN: I love this mantle.

I feel like this is some of the newer woodwork that Kay mentioned.

RICARDO: Yeah, I really can appreciate the aesthetics on either side.

JEN: Yeah, definitely more rustic and homey on the living room side, and then over here, a little more formal.

RICARDO: And you can really appreciate the floors.

Also, these light, wide planks really elevate and modernize the space.

JEN: Well, if this isn't the glitziest kitchen of the season, I don't know where the award's gonna go.

RICARDO: Speaking of glitzy, check out this backsplash.

This marble with the metal inlay?

Gorgeous!

You've got this beautiful island.

JEN: Isn't it, though?

It's been the day of beautiful islands.

RICARDO: You've got a wine cooler.

JEN: Your favorite.

RICARDO: You know I'm in love with that.

But so much storage and seating.

JEN: Yeah, and I do love the waterfall.

How it really gives a very cohesive look.

I also really like the hardware.

And that beautiful pot filler.

What do you think about having the dining room less of an open concept?

RICARDO: I love how the dining room is kind of separate off to the side, but it still feels accessible.

JEN: And with these doors out to the patio, lots of light, an entertainer's dream this level.

RICARDO: Absolutely.

Maybe we should make our way down a level?

JEN: Let's try it.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: Oh, I like the floors down here.

RICARDO: Yeah, they're nice.

JEN: Oh, nice, big bedroom.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Even though we're on the lower level, that's a nice, big window right there, letting in a good amount of light.

RICARDO: And it looks like you've got your own bathroom as well.

JEN: Ooh, let's see.

Whoa!

This is what I would expect from a primary bathroom.

RICARDO: Yeah, yeah.

JEN: What a surprise.

RICARDO: Yeah, dual vanity with this gorgeous countertop.

JEN: And what interesting lighting choices for a bathroom.

This feels boutique hotel.

RICARDO: Very elegant.

JEN: Yeah.

Why don't we see what the top level looks like?

RICARDO: All right, let's go.

JEN: Okay.

This is a nice wide staircase.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Oh, this is a nice size for a kid's room.

RICARDO: Yeah, I love these big, beautiful windows on both sides.

JEN: Yeah.

Double door closet, and it looks like it connects to a full bath.

RICARDO: Well, look at the tile work in here.

JEN: Oh, I love the starburst pattern.

RICARDO: Yeah, and this bold blue is so fun.

JEN: Yeah, this whole bathroom is very fresh.

RICARDO: Yeah, I actually really like the herringbone pattern in the tile work up here too.

JEN: Yeah, this is a great bathroom.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Oh, this is a nice, big room.

RICARDO: Yeah.

You know, I really like that they've carried over the millwork around the windows and all the doors.

JEN: And two closets.

I'm liking this room.

RICARDO: Yeah.

All right, I think there's another room around here.

JEN: Let's go.

RICARDO: Okey-doke.

JEN: Oh, wow!

Look at this accent wall.

RICARDO: What a great way to frame the bed.

JEN: And then, with the windows on either side and this beautiful double window overlooking the yard.

This is a great primary.

RICARDO: Yeah.

I am impressed.

Well, this is a primary bathroom.

I am enamored with this massive mirror that covers the entire dual vanity.

JEN: Yeah, but we've gotta talk about the shower.

I love the big door on the front.

RICARDO: And you also have that gold picked up in the waterfall shower-head.

JEN: And they carried over the herringbone from the other bathroom.

Really nice.

What a great tour today.

I think it's time to go find Kay for the tiebreaker game.

RICARDO: Okay.

Okay, okay.

No matter what happens, it has been a winning day.

JEN: It sure has.

Come on, let's go find Kay.

RICARDO: Okay.

Here's Kay, cozy by the fireplace.

KAY: What did you guys think of house number three?

JEN: Very luxurious.

And it was a surprise to walk in and see how expansive this main level was.

KAY: It's deceiving, right?

JEN: Absolutely.

RICARDO: Yeah.

The modern finishes and updates inside were also really stellar.

JEN: This kitchen is one of the glitziest kitchens we've seen all season.

KAY: Well, you may have noticed that the hardware in the kitchen is actually rose gold.

It's really on trend right now, and I think it makes it very unique.

RICARDO: It really works in here, and it really complements this amazing island as well.

JEN: Hmm.

Absolutely.

KAY: It sounds like you guys loved the home.

Are you ready to play our game?

(Jen breathes deeply) RICARDO: No, but we have to do it.

KAY: Okay.

This is a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home with 2,800 square feet, including the lower level.

Built in 1947, but completely renovated in 2023.

JEN: I'm gonna guess 1,225,000.

KAY: Okay.

RICARDO: I'm throwing it all on the table.

I'm gonna say 1,399,999.

KAY: The list price of this home... is $1,450,000.

RICARDO: Oh!

JEN: Congratulations.

KAY: Congratulations.

RICARDO: Thank you.

An amazing property, an amazing day.

Kay, thank you so much.

KAY: So, we do have one more stop today, but it's not another house.

We're gonna head to Guapo's, a mainstay in downtown Shirlington.

JEN: Yes.

KAY: Margaritas on me.

JEN: Perfect.

RICARDO: The winnings don't stop.

JEN: That's right.

All right, let's go.

RICARDO: You're my favorite person right now.

GOPI: If you lived here, I recommend going to Busboys and Poets.

SHERRY: Many of the restaurants have treats.

There's even a dog bakery here with all kinds of fresh-baked treats.

WHITNEY: If you lived here, you would know that there is easy access to a ton of bike trails.

JOHN: If you lived here, I recommend going to Pallet 22.

It's the best tapas.
