Good Wood in ’50s Arlington Rambler

This three-bedroom Arlington rambler is filled with wood, but the look is more Mad Men than mountain cabin. There are mid-century-style wood built-ins, both functional and decorative, shelving and storage in the dining room and master bedroom, and in the living room there is a large decorative piece that would cost a month’s mortgage at one of the mid-century furniture stores in the area. And if you ever feel the need to be surrounded by more rustic-looking lumber, the three-bedroom home sits on nearly a 1/2 acre of woods, so all you have to do is step outside.

• Full Listing: 2630 S. Ives Street, Arlington, Va (map)
• Price: $950,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1955
• Listing Agent: Virginia Smith, Arlington Realty

Clarendon Condo that Actually Looks Like a Loft

It seems any condo with high ceilings and big windows can be called a “loft” these days, but this Clarendon two-bedroom actually delivers features typically associated with traditional lofts—exposed duct work! An open floor plan! The high-rise unit, which has two master suites, is part of Arlington’s Station Square development.

• Full Listing: 1205 N. Garfield Street, #208, Arlington, Va (map)
• Price: $565,000
• Bedrooms: Two

Lee Heights Home with Award-Nominated Garden

This Lee Heights three-bedroom colonial is spacious and bright on the inside, but its grounds are really something special. Arlington’s Rock Spring Garden Club, a serious, dues-paying organization that requires its members to submit annual horticulture samples, nominated this home for its prestigious “Garden of the Year Award.” The area surrounding the house is perfectly manicured and landscaped and just as notable as the home’s wood floors, enormous sun room, and two fireplaces.

• Full Listing: 4253 N. 25th Street, Arlington, Va (map)
• Price: $1,150,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1953
• Listing Agent: Eva Klivington, Realty To Web.Com
