Fairfax
Where: 2840 Maple La.
How Much: $658,000
When: Sunday, 1 to 4 pm
Why: Another Cape Cod charmer, this adorable four-bedroom is decked out with sophisticated updates in its three bathrooms–like Italian slate tiles–while the country kitchen gets modern with stainless steel appliances. The real star is the stone patio and grill. Mosaic District is a five-minute ride away.
Falls Church
Where: 2424 Nottingham Dr.
How Much: $679,000
When: Sunday, 1 to 4 pm
Why: Located on a cul-de-sac in the Shrevecrest community of Falls Church (a few miles from Mosaic), this classic 1970s contemporary home has clean lines and abundant natural light thanks to its over-sized windows. Its asymmetric shape creates unique interior features, like second-floor cutouts overlooking the living room and hidden pockets of space, like three(!) closets in the master bedroom.
