NoVa Best New Listings: Misson Details, Sunken Dining Room, Model Condo
In this week’s NoVa Best New Listings, we take a look at a California Mission-style house in Alexandria’s Rosemont neighborhood, a Falls Church rambler with a sunken dining room, and a two-bedroom condo that used to serve as a model.
California Mission-Style Four-Bedroom in Rosemont

This three-bedroom home with Mission-style details looks as if someone picked it up from California and dropped it onto a huge corner lot in the middle of Alexandria’s Rosemont neighborhood. Mission windows, a huge fireplace that separates the living room from the kitchen/dining area, and a slate walkway that connects the garage to the rest of the house are just a few of the touches that might appeal to homesick West Coast transplants who are tired of row houses and brick colonials.
- Full Listing: 1 Nelson Avenue, Alexandria, Va. (map)
- Price: $979,900
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: 2.5
- Year Built: 1993
- Listing Agent: Jason Quimby, Keller Williams Realty

A Three-Bedroom Rambler with a Sunken Dining Room
This Falls Church rambler could be perfect for those who aren’t interested in using furniture and area rugs to designate their dining room, living room, and family room areas. Open floorplans can be beautiful but this home’s sunken dining room and family room offer a nice separation from the formal living room, entryway and the rest of the main-level living space.
- Full Listing: 600 Dorchester Road, Falls Church, Va. (map)
- Price: $699,900
- Bedrooms: Three
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 1948
- Listing Agent: Elizabeth Sheehy, TTR Sothebys International Realty

Two-Bedroom Converted Model Condo
Anyone who has fantasized about living in an IKEA floor-set, or has wondered what it would be like to live in a model home, will probably be attracted to this two-bedroom in The Duke building in Old Town, Alexandria. The first-floor condo, which has unusually large bathrooms and a fireplace, used to serve as the building’s model unit, and is fairly pristine as a result. The trick any new owner faces will be keeping it that way.
- Full Listing: 320 West Street South #104, Alexandria, Va. (map)
- Price: $597,500
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 2010
- Listing Agent: Sue Goodhart, McEnearney Associates
