In this week’s Northern Virginia edition of Best New Listings, we look at three homes on the market in Alexandria — a two-bedroom house with a shaded yard in Old Town, an 1880s farmhouse in the heart of Del Ray and a three-bedroom brick Victorian in Old Town.
Two-Bedroom Home in Old Town with $100,000 in Upgrades

While this two-bedroom home in Old Town still retains features like its turn-of-the-century wood floors and the original staircase bannister, it also offers up to $100,000 in recent upgrades. In 2010, the current owner invested in a custom kitchen with garden views, an Energy Star HVAC system, a new hot water heater and new insulation. There is a rear yard with a stone terrace, which is shaded by Catalpa trees and backs up to an off-street parking space and storage shed. The property is four blocks from the Braddock Road Metro station and five blocks from the shops and restaurants on King Street.
- Full listing: 1012 Pendleton Street, Alexandria, VA (map)
- Price: $569,000
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: One
- Year Built: 1900
- Listing Agent: Joni Koons, Weichert Realtors
Three-Bedroom Del Ray Farmhouse with Wood-Burning Stove

While not a brand new listing, this three-bedroom farmhouse in Del Ray felt worthy of mention this week (the price was also just reduced by $50,000). The home sits around the corner from The Dairy Godmother custard shop and the other quaint stores that line Mount Vernon Avenue. In typical farmhouse fashion, the first level has a living/dining room with a wood-burning stove fireplace, as well as a full bathroom, and an updated kitchen that looks onto a fenced-in yard. The master bedroom on the second floor is filled with light thanks to clerestory (above eye-level) windows, and there are two smaller bedrooms on this level as well.
- Full listing: 101 East Del Ray Avenue (map)
- Price: $647,500
- Bedrooms: Three
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 1900
- Listing Agent: Earle Whitmore, Long & Foster
1880 Brick Victorian in Old Town

This 1880 brick Victorian is located just one block from the intersection of Old Town’s two commercial thoroughfares, King and Washington Streets. The two-story listing has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two kitchens. The first floor kitchen has been fully renovated with honed granite counters and a center island, and it opens onto a family/breakfast room addition that is lined with built-ins.
- Full listing: 804 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA (map)
- Price: $775,000
- Bedrooms: Three
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 1880
