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.

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.
