NoVa Best New Listings: Dominion Hills, Brockwood, Old Town
In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, we look a quaint Brockwood cottage with a sleek interior, a raised rambler with an oversize picture window, and an Alexandria townhouse with a hidden wet bar.
Alexandria Townhouse with a Bar Tucked Away in a Closet
This Old Town home contains one of the best hidden features a home can have, save for perhaps a secret passageway. Back in a corner closet in the living room is a wet bar, complete with plenty of shelves to hold bottles of liquor, an overhead light (who wants to make a cocktail in the dark?) and a teeny tiny bar sink. Teetotalers may be more interested in the home’s two fireplaces (one in the living room, one in the kitchen), the large patio or the property’s proximity to Buzz Bakery, Rustico restaurant, and the other eateries and shops on Alexandria’s Slaters Lane.

- Price: $519,900
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: Two

A Brockwood Cottage With A Modern Interior
Viewed from the street, this Brockwood cape cod looks like a home that would belong to one of the Seven Dwarfs. Inside, though, the interior is as sleek as the home’s facade is story-book sweet. Recessed lighting, skylights, and especially tall windows make it bright, and instead of the old-fashioned potbelly stove you might expect to see, there is an enormous, clean-lined black slate fireplace..
- Full Listing: 912 N. Lexington Street, Arlington, Va (map)
- Price: $599,900
- Bedrooms: Three

Dominion Hills Raised Rambler with (Nearly) Floor-to-Ceiling Windows
The living room in this Arlington four-bedroom home offers the drama of floor-to-ceiling windows…without all of the drama of floor-to-ceiling windows. In other words, you get the visual effect and pretty views, but because the window in the home’s living room barely sits a story off the ground, rather than in say a 35th-floor condo, you can enjoy it without worrying about accidentally breaking the glass and crashing to the ground far below. If you’re concerned about that sort of thing.

- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: Two
