This four-bedroom listing in Arlington's Aurora Highlands neighborhood went under contract quickly, and closed about a week ago for $50,000 above its $1.175 million asking price.

$275,000 Above For a Chevy Chase Cape Cod on a Hill

This Chevy Chase Cape Cod home attracted a lot of attention from buyers when it hit the market in late January, and the sale price is evidence of that: the five-bedroom sold for nearly $300,000 above list price.

It is filled with interesting rooms, including an oversized dining room with wood-paneled walls and a family room with cathedral ceilings, a fireplace and a dining area. Outside, there is a large slate patio, a deep front yard, and parking for two cars with an EV charger.
