NoVa Best New Listings: Roof Terrace, 14-foot Windows, Stone Patio

• June 18, 2012

by Sarah Godfrey

In this week’s NoVa Best New Listings, we take a look at a West Alexandria three-bedroom home with enormous 14-foot widows, a four-story modern townhouse in Old Town with its own rooftop terrace, and a one-level Del Ray cottage with a shady stone patio.

Old Town Modern Townhouse with Private Roof Deck

Rooftop terraces are great. Sharing a rooftop terrace with a ton of fellow apartment-dwellers isn’t always so great. This four-level contemporary Old Town townhouse, which is two blocks from the Braddock Road Metro station, solves the problem of chatty strangers spoiling the mood whenever you want to take in some rooftop views. It has its own spacious private outdoor terrace, complete with wet bar…and completely free of neighbors.

• Full Listing: 1121 Wythe Street, Alexandria, Va. (map)
• Price: $869,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Four
• Year Built: 2002
• Listing Agent: Patricia Cornelio, McEnearney Associates, Inc.

Del Ray Cottage with Stone Patio, Open Floorplan

From the curb, this three-bedroom Del Ray cottage looks like it should have a potbelly stove and wood paneling on the inside. Instead, this one-level home has a nice open floor plan, beautiful new wood floors, and updated light fixtures. Those who appreciate a sleek interior but also like a little bit of a storybook vibe can get their fix of quaint by sitting out front on the home’s charming stone patio.

• Full Listing: 2404 E. Randolph Avenue, Alexandria, Va. (map)
• Price: $499,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1961
• Listing Agent: Robyn Bomar, Weichert Realtors

West End Colonial with Double-Height Living Room

Specially shaped and/or oversized windows are beautiful, even though it’s a bit of a pain to shop for window treatments that fit them. The 14-foot windows in this three-bedroom Alexandria colonial would be worth the trouble. Actually, in this case, it would probably be acceptable to just forgo the window coverings altogether, as the view is of a pretty wooded park.

• Price: $649,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1995
