Three-Bedroom Gingerbread House in Brookland

The exterior of this Brookland Victorian reminds UrbanTurf of a gingerbread house, and while the interior will probably need some updating at some point down the road, the exterior is just one of its cool features. The three-bedroom home has a wrap-around front porch, a good-sized yard, a large living and dining area and both a basement and attic that have a lot of potential. The house is also just about four blocks south of the Brookland Metro stop on the Red Line.

• Full Listing: 1231 Irving Street NE (map)
• Price: $529,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Footage: 1,815

Four-Bedroom Cape Cod in the Land of George Washington

The history of the Barcroft section of Arlington where this home is located can be traced back to when George Washington surveyed the land and built a grist mill in the area. This four-bedroom Cape Cod does not go back quite that far (built in 1949), but it does have a number of noteworthy features. Located on a dead-end street, it has a main level with bay windows and sky lights, hardwood floors, and a large gourmet kitchen. The piece de resistance, however, might be the rear deck and the backyard that has a pond and waterfall.

• Full Listing: 4822 8th Road South, Arlington, VA (map)
• Price: $529,900
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1949
• Listing Agent: Thomas Perry, Keller Williams Realty
