Above Asking: Big Premiums in Falls Church and Tenleytown
This edition of Above Asking highlights three recently-featured listings, two of which sold for six-figure premiums and another that went for an odd amount above asking.

The living room has a painted brick wood-burning fireplace, and there is a bonus room on the main level with window cut-outs into an attached parlor and a sunroom. The lower level has a workshop, a bedroom, a bathroom, and benches built-in surrounding a pillar.
