2 Home SOLD in Aprili 2009 in Fountains at McLean
In April of 2009 there were 2 homes sold in the Fountains at McLean. Both were "1st floor" homes in mid-rise buildings. The reason I used quotes around the "1st floor" is because depending what side of the building you're on you may be on the ground (1st floor) or you may be up 3 levels above the ground. This is because of the grading of the land around the buildings.
These properties also shared similarities in that they were both 1 bedrooms, and they both came with 1 garage parking. That's where the similarities end though. The property condition was very different.
The two properties sold were
- 1524 Lincoln Way #109 = $229,000 + $8,000 seller subsidy to buyer [VIRTUAL TOUR]
--> on the market 24 Days
- 1504 Lincoln Way #102 = $190,000 + $0 seller subdiy to buyer
--> on the market 139 Days
--> Bank Owned
In April 2008, the same month last year, there were also 2 properties SOLD.
Right now there are 2 properties available to buy in the Fountains at McLean. Both are 2 bedrooms, ranging from $306,800 to $314,900.

Tysons Corner is a big job center. It's also a lot of fun with the Tysons Corner Center Mall, Tysons Galleria, plus lots of other great shopping. Construction is underway for 4 metro stations in the Tysons Corner area. Along with those metro stations, many developers have ideas to make the idea even more fun and trendy. This is the place to be now and in the future. So come and live here!
This home has been amazingly made over from top to bottom, or floor to ceiling. There are upgrades almost every where you look. From the expansive granite countertops that flow from the kitchen into the living area to the bamboo flooring to the upgraded lighting. There is a vessel sink in the fun modern bathroom. Come take a look. You'll like the deck, the extra storage, the walk-in closet in the bedroom, and of course garage parking.
Plus this home is located in a community full of amenities: clubhouse, table tennis, pool table, outdoor pool, fitness center, meeting room, party room, walking path, gated building, pet friendly, and more.
