This custom home home plan in McLean was designed to fit naturally into the 3-acre wooded building site in McLean, Virginia. Our goal was to meld the home into the natural wooded setting and to capture the phenomenal views on all sides of the property.
This McLean custom home was designed so the owner could live and entertain on the first floor and have bedrooms for her grandchildren on the second floor.
We created a casual, yet elegant, open floor plan on the first floor. We designed built-ins with an open feel to divide the dining room from the family room. The built-ins around the fireplace provided focal points while creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Rooms were organized to maximize the wooded views from every angle. The first floor is ideal for entertaining and convenient for the owner to retire to her bedroom suite off the entry foyer.
The owner also wanted a special space just for her grandkids where they could play yet provide privacy for her. So we created a second-floor “kids-family room.” This space can be converted to a fourth bedroom in the future.
We designed a custom marble curved sink in the powder room to create a unique touch that sets the room off and gives it an elegant feel.
Wood-Mode cabinets in this new McLean home serve as a special focal point. The homeowner was highly involved in all decisions and material selections, ensuring her sophisticated tastes and style are reflected throughout. For instance, the powder room features a custom-designed sink with a marble top, which was the clients idea. And, the home also boasts 8-foot exterior doors. Here are some of the features and materials used in this custom McLean home:
