Her four-bedroom house, where she nursed a broken nose and built a freshman homecoming parade float, features a large living room with stone fireplace, a 20-by 20-foot family room with cathedral ceiling and a tiled sunroom overlooking the manicured back yard.
The new kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances, as well as windows that overlook a portion of the nearly quarter-acre yard.
Among the home's most striking features are the remodeled bathrooms. Stone and marble baths complement matching sinks and tile floors, and at least three are wired for cable television and telephone.
The house isn't being marketed as belonging to the actress's father, and he and his real estate agents declined to be interviewed for this article.
Like most homes, the rambler has seen its share of heartaches. When Helga Bullock had terminal cancer, her family nursed her at home after a long hospice stay. She died April 4, 2000. After her funeral, the Sandra Bullock sightings ceased in Arlington. No more spotting the star of "Speed" and "Miss Congeniality" at the Clarendon Whole Foods Market or the Italian Store on Lee Highway.
"I can understand that. This is a place of childhood memories, and maybe it's best to leave them here," Acha said.
With the sale, the Bullocks will no longer own any Washington area property.
Sandra Bullock owns places in Los Angeles, Austin and Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Her father and her sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, split their time between Austin and Hollywood, assisting Sandra in running her company, Fortis Productions Inc.
