Great Falls Estate
Great Falls, VA, United States
We worked for three years with the owners to renovate their residence with a blend of New England elegance and graceful Southern living, all the while incorporating green building practices and features. The estate is on 5 acres of rolling Northern Virginia land with a private drive and working vineyard.
The main residence with more than 9000 square feet, includes six or seven bedrooms, four full baths, three powder rooms, six fireplaces and a three car garage.
The main residence has a lower level terrace; a screened porch and several patios on the main level; an upper level balcony, and a rooftop terrace. Inside, architectural interest is added with reclaimed vintage lumber, bead board walls, handmade crown moldings and coffered ceilings.
The formal living room features columns and a wood burning fireplace, while the formal dining room also includes columns and French doors that open into a sunroom with slate flooring and walls of windows framing views of the formal gardens.
The main level also includes a library with custom designed cherry cabinets and walls, with an adjacent wet bar with cherry cabinets and handmade tiles. The nearby family room has a coffered ceiling, a stone fireplace and multiple French doors to the veranda and screened porch, along with built in bookshelves. The screened porch includes an outdoor brick fireplace and an exterior spiral stair to access the upper deck.
The center island kitchen has state of the art appliances, including a glass front Sub Zero refrigerator with freezer drawers, a Wolf range, two dishwashers, warming drawers, custom made cabinets, bead board ceiling and granite and marble counters. The adjacent breakfast room has windows on two sides. A mudroom with slate flooring, storage cubbies and a built in desk opens onto a covered walkway to the garage.
Upstairs, the master suite has French doors to a wraparound balcony, a gas fireplace, custom designed paneling and cabinets, a breakfast bar, separate sitting room with built in bookshelves, a dressing room and two walk in closets. The master bath features marble mosaic tile flooring, handmade wall tiles, a soaking tub, two marble sinks and a shower. Four additional bedrooms are on the upper level, along with two more full baths. One of these bedrooms has access to the roof terrace.
The finished lower level includes more space for entertaining: a billiards room with vintage whiskey barrel flooring, pub style bar, French doors to a terrace and a 100 year old bar back with lions reclaimed from a bar in Baltimore. This level also includes a recreation room with a fireplace, a fully equipped media room and an exercise room with a full bath and French doors to a lawn area that could be the site for a pool. The wine cellar has terrazzo flooring and a separate climate control system; it holds 1,264 bottles. This level also has a mudroom and storage rooms, plus a powder room. The home has a built in stereo system and alarm system.
More than 20 hand crafted copper lanterns from New Orleans add elegant night lighting to the home, and the pea gravel drive includes a parking circle for guests and extends into additional paths and parking areas.
