NoVa Best New Listings: A Carriage House, Colonial and A Craftsman

  • August 4, 2013

In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a converted carriage house in Alexandria, a three-bedroom colonial in Falls Church, and a large Craftsman in Lyon Village.

Minimalist living and low square footage homes are in vogue now, and this charmingly converted carriage house in Alexandria fits into that mold. The high ceilinged living room leads to the single lofted bedroom, and exposed brick and wood paneling line the walls. Despite the unit’s size, there’s still room for a washer/dryer and fireplace.

A two-level patio makes the backyard of this Falls Church colonial a nice place to escape. The fully equipped kitchen with double ovens, wine fridge and adjoining glass fireplace make entertaining indoors equally as nice. Other features include some nice high-end touches: a BainUltra therapeutic tub and a programmable Nest thermostat.

Midway between the Courthouse and Clarendon Metro stations, sits this fit-for-a-family six -bedroom Craftsman. Two screened-in porches on the ground and second levels provide plenty of space for relaxation, and abundant windows let in a good deal of natural light. A variety of built-ins, including bookshelves, desks, and the dining room bench make the most of the space.
