This custom home is close-in to DC, right off the GW Parkway in a neighborhood of older homes where many homes have been torn down and replaced by new Craftsmen farmhouse style home or transitional high end homes. There are currently 3 homes that just sold for a million or more that will be torn down to make 3 new homes. Middleburg Associates, one of Northern Virginia's premier luxury custom home builders. Built on a one acre, very private lot at the other end of the cul-de-sac backing to heavy woods, a beautiful modern farmhouse with stone and hardiplank that has a detached 3-car garage with an apartment/studio above that has its own bath. From the street the black framed windows and standing seam roof, set it apart from other new homes in this price range. I love the way you can walk in the front door under the expansive slate front porch with only one step to get in. There are large French doors from both the living and dining rooms that lead to the front porch as well as the 8 ft wood entry door. As you walk in, you will see the high panel molding as well as the living and dining rooms on either side of a center hall. The dark wood floors offset the white trim and neutral walls. The light fixtures, all with bright chrome finish, are a classic look. The ceiling finish is also very unique. The main level library with built-ins down one wall and a bay window on the side make you feel right at home. The family room opens to the kitchen with a tray ceiling, an over-sized gas fireplace and tons of light, offers views of the wooded lot. They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home and this heart beats with pride, featuring two-tone cabinets and stone back splash that goes to the top of the cabinets that will keep the kitchen looking great for years to come. The stainless steel Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances are what you would expect from this top-tiered builder. The large mudroom with bench and cubbies has a unique tile floor that is in keeping with the style and theme of the home. On the upper level is a lavish master suite and 3 other en-suite bedrooms for a total of 6 bedrooms and 6 full baths. The lower level is finished with a large recreation room with a fireplace, a billiards area, a bar, one bedroom, a full bath, as well as media and exercise rooms, but my favorite room is a storage room that has an outside entrance, making it a great place to store cushions and/or outside toys.
