In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a studio for less than $250,000 in Columbia Heights, a restored Cape Cod in Kent, and a 1920s farmhouse in Alexandria.

Under $250,000 in Columbia Heights

With an asking price under $250,000, this studio is located two blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro station. The condo fees are also on the low end of the spectrum, at $143 per month. The layout of the main living area appears to be a rectangle, with space for a bedroom and a living room on opposite ends. The kitchen is off to the side, and a hallway likely leads to a bathroom and laundry room. The unit has a lot of light, and a couple doors open up to a balcony.

• Full listing: 2901 16th Street NW, #303 (map)
• Price: $245,000
• Bedrooms: Studio
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 470
• HOA Fees: $143
• Listing Agent: Rachel Valentino, Keller Williams Capital Properties

Restored Cape Cod in Kent With a Stone Patio

This Cape Cod has been restored and has a new kitchen and bathroom, but maintains much of the original detailing. With only 1,359 square feet, a few of the four bedrooms are quite small, and some have sloping ceilings to further increase the coziness. But we liked a few of the extra rooms, including a cave-like family room and a sunroom that leads out to a fairly spacious stone patio.

• Full listing: 5040 Klingle Street NW (map)
• Price: $995,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1940
• Listing Agent: Tessa Morris, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

1920s Farmhouse in Alexandria

Just a bit smaller in size than the option above, this 1920s Alexandria farmhouse is also well-maintained, though a bit more modest on the interior. The bedrooms are also tight. However, a finished basement adds breathing room, and perhaps the best part of the home is outdoors: the generous and shady backyard is manicured, surrounded by trees and has at least three different seating areas.

• Full listing: 37 Linden Street East, Alexandria, VA (map)
• Price: $723,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Year Built: 1920
• Listing Agent: Christine Garner, Weichert, REALTORS
