Lake Barcroft (more)

Lake Barcroft - Falls Church - Northern Virginia

I found myself back in Lake Barcroft again this afternoon inspecting a modest, one-story rambler. Still, it had a funky, "contemporary" design with a split thrown in (extra sunken living room, maybe?) for good measure.

If you can't take "the city" (Washington, DC), and you can't handle Maryland (traffic police alone might be a deal killer for that state), and you are all finished with the hoopla of Arlington and Old Town, then Lake Barcroft is the place for you. Beautiful, hidden, serene, Lake Barcroft offers an escape within a half dozen miles of DC.

It will cost you a million dollars, and many trips to Lowe's, but you get to tool around the lake in a pontoon boat. How cool is that? You'll probably get one with the purchase! And you get a beach, and views, and friends! The latter is true--I saw far less BMWs in Lake B than in Arlington, that's for certain :-)

So, save your money and move there. Now.
