A Mid-Century Cape Cod in "New Alexandria"
This recently-updated mid-century Cape Cod is just blocks from Belle Haven Park in Alexandria. The living room has a decorative fireplace beneath a butcher block mantel, a powder room, and access to a sleeping porch with a series of windows on two sides. The bright kitchen has a narrow subway tile backsplash, black leathered granite countertops, an oven with stacked compartments, a walk-in pantry, and three sides of counter space, including a breakfast bar peninsula. The owner's bedroom has triple exposure and two closets, and the second bedroom has a set of recessed shelving and a walk-in closet. The rear deck is one step up from the planar backyard, which also offers access to a detached one-car garage next to a gravel parking pad.

Park in the Back, Fountain in the Front
Abutting Linnean Park in Forest Hills, this mid-century house was once owned by the Kreeger Musuem family. There is a fountain alongside the flagstone path to the front door, and the cantilevered roof awning is referenced with the ceiling in the foyer, which extends into a trapezoidal ledge in the adjacent living room. Wooden slats also provide sightlines between the foyer and living room, and in the latter, another trapezoidal ledge creates a mantel above the recessed fireplace surrounded by stone, and a series of near-floor-to-ceiling windows sit between two sets of french doors out to a spacious courtyard with mature trees. A library has wood-paneled walls on three sides, and the owner's bedroom has built-ins on either side of the door to the spa-like en-suite bath. The house also has a lower level with a rec room, bedroom, and full bath, and a two-car garage.
