Family Room
One’s first steps into the family room are breathtaking. A two-story wall of bay windows immerse the area in natural light and provide tranquil and dramatic views that change with the seasons. Summer views enjoy a lush green canopy from the adjoining open space and parkland; autumn brings a riot of brown, red and gold color; and with the winter comes amazing uninterrupted views of the Potomac River Valley. Second only to the views outside, the stone masonry fireplace and built-in media center are the focal areas in this space. A wet bar with cherry cabinets and a gleaming granite surface is always ready to serve.

Commercial Grade Kitchen
The kitchen could be the only room that pulls guests away from the family room. Here, the fantastic views are inside. Premium raised-panel cherry cabinets and ‘miles’ of smooth dark granite provide ample storage and workspace for even the most extravagant event. The owners doubled the size of the walk-in pantry so you are assured to have space for everything. The commercial-grade six-burner, stainless-steel Viking range with brushed stainless-steel exhaust stands ready for all of your culinary challenges. You’ll also enjoy the precision and quality of the expansive side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Asko dishwasher and built-in microwave. The craftsmanship of the cabinetry is stunning with built-in wine rack, bookshelves, glass doors and oversized desk area perfect for daily correspondence. The eat-in breakfast bar is ideal for quick meals and for guests to congregate while meals are being prepared. Of course, the morning room with skylights, atrium door and sweeping western views is where you’re likely to enjoy most of your meals. With heavy daily traffic from the garage to the kitchen, a casual mud room and ½ bath was added adjacent to the garage access. Here, back-packs and bags can be dropped when returning from school and shopping.

Bedroom Level
The upper level features 9’ ceilings and four private suites that are accessed either by the formal curved staircase, or from the secondary back staircase. The spacious landing overlooks the front foyer and is also a curved balcony overlooking the family room and bay windows. The master suite is your own private retreat with 3 piece crown molding and two walk-in closets large enough for everything in ‘His’ and ‘Her’ wardrobes.

The best part of the suite, however, may just be the master bath though double doors from the sitting area. Cathedral ceilings and timeless cream-colored marble give this space an elegant and relaxing mood. The oversized whirlpool tub was designed to spoil. You’ll also enjoy separate ‘His’ and ‘Hers’ vanities with raised panel cherry cabinets, granite counters and luxurious faucet fixtures. The separate shower has a seat and is oversized.

Recreation Level
The recreational level was designed for play. With tall ceilings and ample windows throughout, this is a bright space ready for casual fun. The wet bar is extravagantly outfitted with a giant bar with the finest raised-panel cherry cabinets and granite countertops. An unfinished walk-in wine cellar awaits a wine coinsurer’s preferred finishings. The bar readily serves the two areas in the recreation room. The larger game room is brightly lit with room for a large pool table and big-screen TV. You’ll enjoy the cozy secondary area perfect for games and sleepovers. Both rooms share a two-sided gas fireplace giving this great space the feel of your own private lodge. You’ll also find a full bath and studio or 5th bedroom on this level. The owners enhanced this space by having a larger atrium door and side window installed. A plumbing rough-in was added to the large walk-in closet so it could be easily converted to another private bath. With a Hollywood-style media room in mind, the owners expanded and rough-in one of the large storage areas complete with electrical and HVAC. With this construction in place, your own private cinema tailored to your exact specifications is only weeks away.
