3120 Pershing Drive has been listed on the market for $4,000,000. After sitting on the market for multiple years and significant price drops, the property is now up for auction. 

The home was originally built in 2005. The home has been a contentious issue in the neighborhood ever since it was built.  The owners tore out a lot of trees and built the home so grandiose that it blocked the view of neighboring homes behind the residence.

So much so that one homeowner moved out soon after the mansion was completed. The mansion owners did what they wanted with very little regard for the neighboring homes.

Now that the home has struggled to sell, one new option has come to light. The owners have gone to Arlington County to request a permit to operate as a bed and breakfast. 

The Arlington County Board has deferred the topic until late December. In order to be approved, there would need to be significant neighborhood support. 

The irony is now the owners are attempting to get support from the residents of Lyon Park; the same residents that the owners paid very little attention to when the home was being built. 

The auction is set for December 13th at 5pm.

The starting bid is $750,000 with an undisclosed reserved amount which apparently is "a very reasonable number" according to a source. 

Multiple situations could happen:

-- the reserve is not met
-- the home is purchased and lived in as a primary residence
-- the home is purchased and turned into a bed-and-breakfast (or similar venue like an AirBnB home)
-- the home is purchased, demolished, the lots are divided into two plots and two brand new homes are sold by a developer. 
-- other ???

**the listing agent kindly requested that no photos or video be taken inside the home. I would have included them otherwise. My rule is this: when asked nicely and respectfully, I am always going to oblige.
