In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a Cape Cod in Richmond Hills, a three-bedroom colonial in Columbia Forest, and a modern home in Hollin Hills.

NoVa Best New Listings: A Book Lover's Dream, Modern in Hollin Hils: Figure 1

This renovated four-bedroom Cape Cod not far from the East Falls Church Metro has the type of built-in shelving that bibliophiles dream about. In addition to its book storage, the home has an open foyer with a spiral staircase that brightens the space, and a two-story addition with heated floors, fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows. There is also a second-level terrace and a brick patio in the backyard.

A two-tiered stone patio and landscaped garden is one of the highlights of this three-bedroom colonial in Columbia Forest. The listing is sleekly renovated throughout with hardwood floors, and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast nook.

Charles M. Goodman, the designer of National Airport, designed this three-bedroom and several other houses in the Hollin Hills section of Arlington. Along with modern design, Goodman homes are built so that the tree lines provide plenty of privacy to go along with the large windows. This home has many of the classic characteristics of a modern house with its open floor plan and butterfly roof.
