In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a 1940s Victorian in Old Town Alexandria and a stone cottage in Braddock Heights.

Old becomes new is the theme for this semi-detached Victorian located in Old Town Alexandria. The house has a new patio, full and half baths, hardwood floors, and washer and dryer. An all white and stainless kitchen, and modern bathroom fixtures belie the age of this home, while hints of exposed brick, and custom built-ins provide a polished look.

Though this single level stone cottage in Braddock Heights may lack space it makes up for it with charm. The galley kitchen is flanked with bright cherry cabinets and granite countertops. But the main attraction may be the flagstone patio with koi pond and stone fireplace. With three bedrooms and only one bathroom, an addition of a half bath may be needed.
