Great news for McLean Hamlet home owners! The home at 8113 Birnam Wood Drive has sold for $1,1600,000. The sale price should move the price point higher for home sales in the McLean Hamlet, as this home lacked renovations that most high priced homes feature. The home featured hardwood floors throughout and large room sizes, but it had not been renovated in key rooms such as the kitchen or master suite. As a matter of fact, this home had many original elements in it, an unfinished basement, dated kitchen cabinets, bathroom floors of inch colored tile, and wallpaper in the two-story foyer. Many recent homes sold in the Hamlet at this price feature new kitchens with top of the line appliances, fine cabinetry, and granite counters, or master suites that have been renovated with tile and glass enclosed steam-showers, and master closets with built in shelves and drawers. Yet, the buyers of this home paid above list price and were represented by a buyer broker experienced in the neighborhood, so indications are strong for prices to trend upward in the Hamlet.
