by Sarah Godfrey

Massive Victorian Among Del Ray’s Bungalows

The Del Ray section of Alexandria is so defined by its bungalows that the area was once home to a furniture store called Bungalow. And while most people move to the neighborhood for its sweet, smaller-scale homes (not just bungalows, but also Cape Cods and brick duplexes), some wouldn’t mind a little more square footage. Those people might want to take a look at this four-bedroom home, a rare Victorian in the heart of Del Ray. It has three full levels with refinished hardwood floors, giant windows, and modern bathrooms. It sits on a huge lot and has a gigantic wrap-around porch, which is nice enough to catch the eye of even die-hard Del Ray cottage fans.

Cul-De-Sac Living in Arlington County

Northern Virginians, you do not have to move to Stafford if you want to live on a cul-de-sac…you just have to do a little hunting. This two-bedroom townhouse in Fairlington Village is close to the Village at Shirlington and sits on a street where the eventual owner’s kids can play football without having to dodge traffic. The home has a beautiful master bedroom, a good-sized second bedroom and a lower-level rec room, big enough for kids to run around in on days when rain or cold keeps them off the cul-de-sac.

• Full Listing: 4851 S. 27th Road, Arlington, Va. (map)
• Price: $394,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1944
• Listing Agent: Thomas Arehart, RE/MAX Allegiance

Old Town Condo with Open Floorplan, Deck

This two-bedroom listing right off the George Washington Parkway is walking distance to the Washington Sailing Marina and the Mt. Vernon Trail. It also has a feature that is pretty unique to Old Town condos — a large, wood deck. The view from the deck is of Harbor Terrace’s courtyard and gazebo—not quite as impressive as the views of the Potomac than can be seen by walking just a couple of blocks, but considering it’s right outside the back door, it’s not too shabby.

• Full Listing: 1303 E. Abingdon Drive, #2, Alexandria, Va. (map)
• Price: $349,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1981
• Listing Agent: Patricia Cornelio, McEnearney Associates
