Don't let the piles of snow on the ground keep you from checking out this new listing in the Kings Park neighborhood of Springfield VA. 

Listed at $430,000 this home will offer your family plenty of space to spread out. Take a peek and then give me a call at 703-346-2213 to take your personal tour.

If you live in the Woodbridge VA area head to the Stonebridge Shopping Center and get ready for a fresh food treat at Zoes Kitchen.

Despite the worst winter in Northern Virginia history I headed out to Zoes Kitchen on opening day to get a taste of their take on Mediterranean food and was not disappointed.  First off the staff was ready to answer any question I had about the menu and when I asked about their hummus they quickly gave me a sample to try.  Just the right amount of Tahini and served with warm pita bread.  Don’t miss it!

After studying the menu, which includes sandwiches, soups, salads and hot entrees, I settled on the chicken rollups with two sides.  It was delivered to my table and I was not disappointed.  The no-mayo potato salad reminded me of my mom’s and is a nice change from the usual overly moist potato salad you usually get as a side at other restaurants.

Recently I have been on the run quite a bit around dinner time preparing new listings in the Woodbridge area, so this weekend I made another quick stop and ordered the Chicken Kabobs with rice pilaf and Greek Salad to go.  Again not a disappointment and the take out containers were recyclable.  YEA!

Besides serving food in the restaurant Zoes Kitchen also caters.  The catering sales rep, Brittany Marthaller is a delight to talk with. If you are tired of the same old sandwich trays from the big box store then you need to give her a call a 703-580-4408.

Within walking distance of the Potomac Club neighborhood, only a few blocks from INOVA Potomac Hospital and with easy access off of Neabsco Mills Rd I’m going to bet that Zoes Kitchen will keep their brightly colored tables full. 

Check it out.

It isn't hard to figure out what the developer of the first Kings Park was planning when they laid out the plan for the community and the homes. With one look at the street names Thames, Victoria, Trafalgar and Cromwell among others you might think you have made a trip back to England. Then when you add the names of the five original models; King, Queen, Princess, Duke and Duchess, you realize absolutely there is a royal connection!

Our family bought our very first home in Kings Park in 1981. Having just returned from five years overseas we were anxious to settle down for awhile and having grown up in Springfield it was an easy choice to make the original Kings Park the place to buy our first "real home." We were attracted to the neighborhood due to the mature trees, green space parks, community pools and easy commuting to our jobs. With the gentle slope of our 1/3 acre lot we were able to set up a zip line between the top of the back yard and the back fence which became a neighborhood hangout for the under 5 age group!

Since the neighborhood was first built over 40 years ago it has been popular with military families looking for easy access to the Pentagon or Fort Belvoir. Children attend schools in the Lake Braddock School Pyramid and both Northern Virginia Community College and George Mason University are close by. Public bus transportation, a VRE station and slug lines are easy to get to from anywhere in the neighborhood. Homeowners can walk to the Kings Park Shopping Center and even the Kings Park Library branch of the Fairfax County Library System.

When you want to take a break you walk or ride your bike through two different "back" entrances to Lake Accotink or for anyone who likes the challenge of dirt biking the nearby trails through Wakefield Park are considered some of the best in the area. Wakefield Park is also the location for the Audrey Moore Recreation Center where you will find an indoor pool and popular fitness center. During the summer Lake Accotink Park hosts free Friday night summertime concerts which are an absolute hit with everyone. Music ranges through swing, jazz, pop and rock. If you haven't seen your neighbors for a few days chances are you will find them there with a picnic basket and folding chairs

In today’s internet connected world selling a home means you can work through an entire transaction and never meet face to face.  This is the case with my most recent closing in Woodbridge VA.

The sellers, active duty military had already left the area on PCS orders when they learned of the Department of Defense Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP). They checked the qualifications for the program and realized that selling their home with the benefits provided was a better option than becoming a landlord.

They searched the internet for a Woodbridge VA agent who had experience with the HAP program and found me.  After a few phone calls and email exchanges they decided to hire me to handle the process of selling their home.  Within a few days of going on the market we had an offer and were able to execute all the necessary paperwork with electronic signatures and forward all of the information to the USACE office in Savannah.

The sellers completed their portion of the government acquisition of the property last week and the buyers have now completed their side of the transaction as well.   All of the process has been completed without ever meeting the seller’s  face to face. 

The good news with all of the technology at our fingertips today we can easily handle a transaction for our clients without the costs associated with travel.  Though meeting face to face is always fun it isn’t always practical.

If you are a military family eligible for the Department of Defense Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) give me a call me at 703-346-2213.  Let me show you how to get your home SOLD whether you are still in Northern Virginia or living anywhere in the world.
