 There are many ways to enjoy a wood burning fireplace or woodstove, but the most important way is SAFELY.Have your chimney or woodstove inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist. Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations and flammable materials. Always use a metal mesh screen with fireplaces. Leave glass doors open while burning a fire.  Keep air inlets on wood stoves open, and never restrict air supply to fireplaces. Otherwise you may cause creosote buildup that could lead to a chimney fire. Safely Burn FuelsNever use flammable liquids to start a fire. Use only seasoned hardwood. Soft, moist wood accelerates creosote buildup. Build small fires that burn completely and produce less smoke. Never burn cardboard boxes or trash in the fireplace or woods...

Are you looking a great townhouse in the Lake Terrapin neighborhood and can't find it on the MLS? The reason is simple and one that confuses many buyers in Prince William County.Ridgefield Crossing is the "legal" subdivision name for the townhouses and some of the smaller detached homes in Lake Terrapin. How did this happen? Ridgefield crossing existed all alone on wide open land. Then along came K Hovnanian who wanted to build larger detached homes in the area and Lake Terrapin was born. As the first section of homes was being developed the homeowners in Ridgefield Crossing agreed to be annexed into Lake Terrapin creating a larger community and the confusion. Prince William County tax records have not been updated yet to reflect the change in name.So if you are looking for a great tow...

  When the developers exhausted the land supply in Lake Ridge they bought a major tract just at the west end of Lake Ridge and voila - Westridge was born.  The Springwoods section of Lake Ridge connects with Westridge without having to access Old Bridge Road.    One of the attractive features to families with young children and as a resale asset for everybody is the fact that the subdivision boasts its' own elementary school.        This photo of the pond and its' fountain was taken from the poolside deck of the Westridge Swim and Racquet Club.  The community is "first cabin" and is available for use by resident members The collage below is representative of the home styles available in Westridge.   Detached homes range in price from $450,000 to $700,000.Town Home prices range from $275...

FORECLOSURES CAN BE A GOOD BUY.  THE BENEFITS CAN BE PRICE, QUICK OCCUPANCY, LOCATION.However, the foreclosure sale still has to compete with other homes for sale in the area.  Look closely at foreclosures.  Many home buyers believe that, "if it's a foreclosure, it's a good buy".  Not necessarily so.  We sell foreclosures, especially bank foreclosures, but an experienced Buyer's Agent will analyze the value of the particular property and can determine whether or not a particular foreclosure is a good buy.  Make your buying decisions based on facts, not assumptions.PRICE FOR FORECLOSURES.  Most foreclosure owners, banks, mortgage companies, HUD, VA, price their properties based on an appraisal.  Some banks will obtain more than one appraisal to assist with determining the price for the p...

As a mother with young children this time of year is both exciting, yet rife with concern. You love your children, you want them to have fun, but you want them to be safe too! Following is a list of safety tips to ensure you children have a Happy, Fun, SAFE Halloween! Tips for Children:Help your child pick out or make a costume that will be safe. Make it fire proof, the eye holes should be large enough for good peripheral vision. If you set jack-o-lanterns on your porch with candles in them, make sure that they are far enough out of the way so that kids costumes won't accidentally be set on fire. Make sure that if your child is carrying a prop, such as a scythe, butcher knife or a pitchfork, that the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury if fallen on.Kids always want t...

Prince William is the only county in Virginia that crosses all four of the state's geographic zones from Tidewater, through the Piedmont and Triassic terrain to the Appalachians.  There are approximately 380,000 residents making it the second most populous county in Virginia. In Manassas, Virginia you can study the Civil War in depth.  For example, there is the lesser-known site, Ben Lomond Manor House.  On one of the earliest Prince William County plantations (built in 1837), the house is rumored to have been used as a Civil War hospital.  On its' walls are the carvings and scrawl of Civil War soldiers who left their graffiti for later generations to decipher. Prince William is home to the best known Civil War site in Virginia, Manassas National Battlefield Park.  It is tastefully inte...

When you are out driving around showing houses do you ever get a question from a buyer that throws you for a bit of a loop? Not the usual ones about traffic or the ones that we can't answer about schools or crime but the one about who came up with that street name?Usually we are so familiar with an area that we can come up with a story or explanation. Roads named after historic figures, unusual landmarks or the developers family, etc. Occasionally though there is one that catches their eye that even you can't come up with an explanation for. This weekend while showing some out of town buyers around the area we came upon such a road. Now as a native of the Northern Virginia area I often pass by roads and never give them a second thought. This is one of those roads. But when they asked th...
