The client wanted a previous, smaller addition to be torn down and replaced by a new three-level, L-shaped deisgn build addition that wrapped around the existing home on two sides. On the upper level, this eliminated a small office/bedroom at the back of the house and created a substantial space for a beautifully appointed master suite. Upon entering the bedroom one notices the unique angles of the ceiling that were carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the existing 1920’s home, while creating visual interest within the room. The bedroom also features a cozy gas-log fireplace with a herringbone brick interior.

A hallway to the right leads to the changing area and master bath, which features a tiled steam shower, a large soaking tub and a beautiful vanity area with custom cabinetry and mirrors. To the left of the bed is a custom glass door, which leads to the owner’s spa and morning bar and balcony beyond. The room features a five-person spa, built-in coffee system, under-counter beverage center, tile floor and walls and a custom-stained marine-grade wood ceiling. The truly unique feature of the master suite is an eagle’s nest, which serves as a map room for planning the owner’s boating trips. The elevated nautical-themed room is accessed via a custom-built ships ladder and provides beautiful views of the Washington Monument.
