Vacation Home in…Warwick Village?

For potential home buyers who have decided to forego a vacation in order to put more money toward a down payment, aspects of this three-bedroom, semi-detached Warwick Village townhouse could potentially ease travel withdrawals. For example, the living room has a huge, old-fashioned wood-burning stove that seems like something that would be in a cabin in the woods. The mango-colored kitchen and lush plantings in both the front and back yards are straight out of a tropical getaway. And the dark-wood ceiling fans give the bedrooms a beach cabana feel. At $405,000, the price is pretty good for a three-bedroom home, but it does have just one bathroom.

• Full Listing: 234 Burgess Avenue, Alexandria, VA (map)
• Price: $405,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1956
• Listing Agent: Nora Partlow, Coldwell Banker

Alexandria Waterfront Condo with Cork Floors

Not everyone loves hardwood flooring or the wall-to-wall white carpeting that seems to come standard in many condos. So, this two-bedroom, two-bath listing in the Alexandria House offers a nice alternative as it has cork flooring throughout. Cork is often touted as an an attractive, affordable, eco-friendly swap for other materials typically found underfoot in many homes. And, people with bad knees and loud neighbors should also appreciate the fact that it’s shock-absorbing and noise-reducing. The Alexandria House has a roof deck, with a pool and views of the Potomac, and is only two blocks from Oronoco Bay Park on Alexandria’s waterfront.

• Full Listing: 400 Madison Street #303 Alexandria, VA (map)
• Price: $460,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1975
• Listing Agent: Norma Stratton, Long & Foster

Barcroft Bungalow with Two Decks

This cute four-bedroom bungalow in Arlington’s Barcroft neighborhood has both a family room and a recreation room, and if two of its residents ever decide, at the exact same moment, that they’d like some alone time outdoors, the home features two decks. While having two decks is nice, the home’s crown jewel may be the lower-level in-law suite, complete with its own private bath.

• Full Listing: 634 Buchanan Street, Arlington, VA (map)
• Price: $585,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1925
• Listing Agent: Timothy Pierson, Weichert Realtors
