In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at an amenity filled colonial in Jefferson Park, an end unit townhouse near the Torpedo Factory, and a two bedroom condo in Ballston.

This 1939 colonial in Jefferson Park has a backyard meant for barbeques; it features a porch, a heated pool with an automated cover, and an outdoor food prep area. Inside, the basement houses a recreation room, office, and a bedroom with private entry. The master bedroom on the upper level includes a fireplace and balcony overlooking the backyard.
