Four-Bedroom in Beverley Hills with a Hill-Free Yard

The Beverley Hills section of Alexandria isn’t quite as hilly as the Beverly Hills of California, but it’s got a bit of a bumpy topography going on. The area is full of giant sloping yards filled with azaleas, and great-looking steep staircases leading to the front doors of the homes. So, even though this renovated Beverley Hills home has a new open kitchen and a huge master suite with high ceilings, a Juliet balcony, and a sitting area, it’s most remarkable feature is its backyard, which is nice and flat, a rarity in this neighborhood.

• Full Listing: 903 Beverley Drive, Alexandria, Va. (map)
• Price: $985,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1938
• Listing Agent: Christine Garner, Weichert, REALTORS

Turnkey Three-Bedroom Townhouse in Arlington

The term “turnkey” is used a lot in real estate listings, usually meant to convey that a potential buyer can move-in without doing any significant structural or even cosmetic work. But there is almost always something—a screaming red accent wall, a hideous ceiling fan—that a buyer feels the need to remove, fix, or replace. However, even the pickiest potential buyer could potentially move right into this three-bedroom Arlington townhouse, just off of Columbia Pike. It’s tastefully modern and pristine, from the bathroom cabinets to the light fixtures to the paint colors.

• Full Listing: 512 Veitch Street, South, Arlington, Va. (map)
• Price: $465,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1983
• Listing Agent: Sarah Funt, Long & Foster

Tropical Row House in Old Town

This end Victorian row house is only a couple of blocks from Alexandria’s King Street Metro, but it looks like it belongs on a street a couple of block from Bal Harbour beach. The home is pretty traditional on the inside, but outside the whole thing is painted peach, and its modern composite deck with cable railings seems like it should overlook the ocean.

• Full Listing: 303 West Street, Alexandria, Va. (map)
• Price: $549,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1947
• Listing Agent: David Unterman, RE/MAX Allegiance
