This 1950s ranch house with a finished basement in Alexandria was enlarged with larger master suite and remodeled basement recreation room. The client wished to retain the feel of previous work they had done on the house. The seamless addition upgraded both the energy efficiency and the beauty and functionality of this home. The interior finish work includes cherry and maple trim, cherry doors, walnut floors, and a travertine and mahogany fireplace surround with a retractable television. Custom bent insulated glass corner windows extend the view down to the Potomac River in both the master bath and master bedroom.
