In this home, Georgetown architect Ernesto Santalla transformed a cavernous basement into a private paradise. Santalla went beyond merely renovating the dark, unfinished space; he developed a distinctive blueprint for how the new space would be used. He abandoned the multiple, framed-room approach usually used to carve up large basements and instead separated rooms with different color carpets and walls in shades of cream, beige and taupe; the patterned paint in reference to the paintings of famed Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Santalla used curves and angles to give the basement’s many areas distinctive character, while offering seamless movement from room to room. For instance, a curved wall serves as the backdrop for a large screen in the media area. This semicircle wall creates a hall behind it that provides passage for those walking from the music area to the fitness room without disturbing those enjoying a movie on the other side. The walls are adorned with original photographs from Santalla himself. Mirrored walls set the scene for a home gym equipped with treadmill, cycle, weight lifting machine, and plenty of room for Pilates. A black piano graces the wall in a foyer-like space around the corner from a narrow bar that is great for entertaining. There is a glass enclosed recording studio for the homeowner, a professional musician who plays guitar, piano and drums. The glass, floor-to-ceiling soundproof walls allow Jan to ignore or participate in activity taking place outside of the room.

Hand built by Paul Shands, post and beam, using an 1850 barn frame, reclaimed tile from the long gone Overlook Hotel, is this ode to history! Historically owned by artists and musicians this home has been greatly loved! The massive two story stone fireplace is a wonder to behold. Mountain Views abound, graced by a fabulous meadow. The master bedroom with bath and den is on the second story with two guest bedrooms and bath on the lower level, ensuring privacy. The first floor with its soaring ceilings, open floor plan including half bath is appealing to all! Entertain and/or relax on the spacious covered porch and deck while taking in the amazing views!
