NoVa Best New Listings: Parker Gray, Cherrydale, Arlandria
✉️ Want to forward this article? Click here.
In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, we take a look at the closest thing to a ski chalet that Cherrydale has to offer, an updated 1890s Parker Gray row house, and a condo that is conveniently located across the street from Potomac Yards, but manages to shield residents from the Target-shopping masses.

Ski Chalet in Cherrydale
OK, so this four-bedroom home in the Cherrydale section of Arlington isn’t really a ski chalet, but with its wood facade and eaves, it looks as if someone plucked it from the Swiss Alps and plunked it down right between Lee Highway and Route 66. Inside, it’s a nice-looking modern home with just a few resort elements—a wood burning stove and gigantic windows—that make it feel like a vacation hideaway.
- Full Listing: 3506 18th Street North, Arlington, Va. (map)
- Price: $675,000
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: 2.5
- Year Built: 1986
- Listing Agent: Ariadne Henry, Sophia Henry Real Estate

Target-Adjacent Alexandria Two-Bedroom
Living across the street from a Target is both a gift and a curse. Being able to run over and pick up toilet paper and a well-designed tea kettle is a huge perk; getting caught in gridlock when thousands of people descend on the big box mecca every Saturday is a gigantic con. This modern two-bedroom Alexandria condo, with its tall ceilings and open floorplan, is located across the street from the Potomac Yards Target, but the building’s front door and parking garage are on Reed Avenue, a relatively quiet street, so residents can choose to either embrace the busy shopping center or avoid it completely.
- Full Listing: 181 Reed Avenue East #401, Alexandria, Va. (map)
- Price: $389,000
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 2003
- Listing Agent: Matthew Shepard, Keller Williams Realty

Historic Parker Gray Row House with Modern Updates
The Parker Gray section of Alexandria has no shortage of historic homes, but the small row houses in this area often feel more homey and liveable than the museum pieces in other parts of Old Town. This listing, built in the 1890s, has an old fashioned front porch that has been restored, a great original marble fireplace, and a handsome wood staircase, but previous owners weren’t such sticklers for historic accuracy that they sacrificed modernity—see the skylights, the pretty blue kitchen, and the big, glass atrium doors that bring light into several rooms in the house.
- Full Listing: 305 West Street North, Alexandria, Va. (map)
- Price: $650,000
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: 2.5
- Year Built: 1890
- Listing Agent: Carol Manning, Long & Foster
