Five-Bedroom Country Home in Arlingwood

This five-bedroom Georgian colonial in the Arlingwood section of Arlington is reminiscent of another era, with its long, winding driveway, wide green lawn and screened-in gazebo. The interior has a very upscale feel to it, with marble floors, a cherry wood library (with a chess set), and a formal dining room, but there are some more casual aspects as well, including a game room, theater, and an exercise room. The listing has an additional lot that will be subdivided and available to the eventual buyer for an extra $550,000.

Tree-top Unit Near the Washington & Old Dominion Trail

For those looking for a condo with a balcony and views, but have around $300,000 (rather than $3 million) to spend, this renovated two-bedroom in Arlington's Brittany Condominium could fit the bill. There are tree-top views from the terrace and virtually everything in the condo is new, from the laminate floors in the living room, den, and dining room to the granite counters and mod-tiled backsplash in the kitchen. The home comes with a storage unit and a parking space, and for jogging/biking enthusiasts, the front lobby at The Brittany practically opens onto the Washington & Old Dominion trail.

Full Listing: 4500 S. Four Mile Run Drive, #614, Arlington, VA (map) * Price: $279,990 * Bedrooms: Two * Bathrooms: Two * Square Footage: 1,152 * Listing Agent: Kara Koonce, Redwood Realty LTD

Brick Row House Steps From Old-Fashioned Main Street

Mount Vernon Avenue, the main commercial strip running through Alexandria's Del Ray neighborhood, is often referred to as a new version of an old-fashioned main street, thanks to businesses like The Dairy Godmother frozen custard shop, and St. Elmo's Coffee Pub. This three-bedroom brick row house, part of the Warwick Village community, is just far enough removed from the action of the main drag that it offers a good price, compared to other three-bedrooms in the area. The bedrooms are not very large, but the home has a new kitchen, a finished basement, and a deep patio and garden and the back that, along with its location, adds to its appeal.

Full Listing: 42 Ancell Street, Alexandria, VA (map) Price: $455,000 Bedrooms: Three Bathrooms: Two Square Footage: 1,102 Listing Agent: Jen Walker, McEnearney Associates, Inc.
