NoVa Best New Listings: Two Modern and a Condo With a Reading Room
In this week’s edition of NoVa Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at two contemporary homes in Alexandria and Arlington, and a condo with a spot to read in Ballston.

Despite being built in the 1940s, this five-bedroom stone house in Alexandria bucks expectations with a modern, European minimalist interior. Its open layout, high ceilings, and tall windows flood all the rooms with light. Extra details like a built-in coffee maker, walk-in showers, stone fireplace, and a landscaped garden with sprinkler system add to its appeal.
- Full listing: 1007 Vassar Road, Alexandria, VA (map)
- Price: $2.2 million
- Bedrooms: Five
- Bathrooms: 3.5
- Year Built: 1945
- Listing Agent: Fleur Howgill, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

The sleek interiors and open layout of this international style home in Dawson Terrace look like they’re straight out of a design magazine. The kitchen features two of everything — two four-burner stoves, a double oven, and two refrigerators. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a roof deck surround the second and third floor bedrooms, filling them with light and space.

- Price: $1.294 million
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: 3.5

A short walk to the Ballston Metro Station is not the only thing to recommend this two bedroom condo. It has been fully renovated with custom closets, a modernized kitchen, bamboo floors, and a new washer and dryer. An in-unit sun room also provides a sunny place to relax and read.
