A haven in Aldie
What does a house do to sell itself to you? Is it the facade, the bedrooms, the storage space and the upgrades that catch your eye? Or is it the community, the location, the three-bay garage and the backyard with endless views of the sky? You don't have to choose between interior features and exterior amenities -- this house combines it all.Kitchen
Most real estate agents say the kitchen sells the house. Consider this one sold: It has black granite countertops and 42-inch cherry cabinets that afford ample storage space for even the most extensive dishware collections. A large center island has room enough for a family of four to pull up a chair and enjoy a casual dinner. The cooktop rests on the center island, leaving enough counter space for extensive culinary undertakings. Stainless steel Whirlpool and KitchenAid appliances as well as the chef-style faucet close out the deal.
Family room
It’s difficult for open spaces and two-story ceilings to feel cozy, but not in this case. Unlike in other homes, the two-story windows framing the wood-burning fireplace don’t end there. The two-story expanse of windows also goes up a connecting wall. Large arches separate the room from the breakfast area – which has a wall of windows overlooking a screened-in porch and large back deck. Through another set of arches is the sitting room that has a gas fireplace and a flat-screen television that comes with the home.
Bedrooms
On the upper level, two bedrooms on one end of the house connect through a Jack and Jill bathroom. The bathroom has large tile floors, double sinks and a closet toilet and shower. A princess suite at the other end of the home has a large walk-in closet and a two-door full bathroom all to itself.
Master suite
Columns offset the sitting room from the master bedroom. Features include a tray ceiling, chair rails and a large walk-in closet. The master bathroom has a large soak tub, a stand-up shower and dual sinks.
Conservatory
French doors open up to an office or den that has large windows with plantation shutters and hardwood floors. A step down from this room leads to the home’s conservatory, which has three walls of windows and two televisions that come with the home.
Decorative artist niches, recessed lighting, hardwood floors throughout the main level and triple-crown molding are just a short list of added amenities in this home. A short walk to the community pool -- a landscape that includes conservation easements and horses walking down the neighborhood’s streets -- let the outdoors come in.
