Expanded Farmhouse Near Del Ray’s Commonwealth Avenue

The Main Street, USA feeling of Del Ray’s Commonwealth Avenue extends to Mosby Street where this quaint, recently expanded farmhouse is located. In typical farmhouse fashion, the three-bedroom listing includes a picket fence, symmetrical design, and a wide front porch — in this case, painted pale blue with a porch swing and red front door. The home has a number of living spaces, including a finished lower level rec room and a patio in the landscaped backyard. Potential owners (particularly parents out there) will likely appreciate that the home’s master suite is set back from the other bedrooms.

• Price: $835,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5

Custom Five-Bedroom Home in Country Club

This custom five-bedroom home in Country Club was built in 1990, so while a new owner may want to make some updates to the finishes, the underlying design functions well. The large chef’s kitchen has eight gas burners and two Jenn-air ovens, lots of cabinets, a cathedral ceiling and even a dumbwaiter. The master suite is located on the first floor, while the second and third floors each have two nicely sized bedrooms. Cherry and maple floors, as well as hardwood door and window frames, are found throughout the home, and the backyard has a brick patio and a large wood deck. Like the other homes featured this week, this listing is walking distance to neighborhood shops and restaurants.

• Full listing: 4711 24th Road N, Arlington, VA (map)
• Price: $899,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 4.5
• Year Built: 1990
• Listing Agent: Christopher Wilkes, Washington Fine Properties, LLC
