NoVa Best New Listings: Ashton Heights, Ballston, Rosemont

• May 21, 2012

by Sarah Godfrey

In this week’s NoVa Best New Listings, we take a look at an Ashton Heights home with a Juliet balcony, a one-bedroom condo with a sun room and an enviably short walk to the Metro, and a spacious-but-cozy four-bedroom Cape Cod in Rosemont.

Ashton Heights House with Juliet Balcony

The master suite in this four bedroom home near the Virginia Square Metro has some pretty nice features—a vaulted ceiling, a spa-style bathroom, and Juliet balcony. The petite balcony overlooks a well-manicured yard and has just enough room for a few potted plants or an owner taking a quick survey of the backyard kingdom.

• Full Listing: 536 Oakland North, Arlington, Va. (map)
• Price: $998,900
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1939
• Listing Agent: Phyllis Alexander, Long & Foster

Sunny One-Bedroom Next to Ballston Metro

There are enclosed balconies and then there are sun porches, which are more than just covered outdoor spaces—they’re full-on rooms. This one bedroom in the Windsor Plaza building, which is just around the corner from the Ballston Metro, has a sun porch. Thanks to proper flooring, overhead lighting, and floor-to-ceiling shades, the space can be used year-round, for more than just indoor gardening and sunning.

• Full Listing: 1045 Utah Street, North, Unit 2-403, Arlington, Va. (map)
• Price: $349,900
• Bedrooms: One

Spacious-But-Homey Rosemont Four-Bedroom

The Rosemont neighborhood of Alexandria is known for charming homes that seem adorable and petite from the curb, but are actually giant once you’re inside. This four-bedroom listing looks practically dainty from the street, but inside, it feels more like the approximately 2,600 square-foot house that it is, with an open floorplan on the main floor, large bedrooms, and a huge lower-level family room.

• Full Listing: 106 Maple Street, East, Alexandria, Va. (map)
• Price: $895,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1935
• Listing Agent: Joy Deevy, Coldwell Banker
