This brick and limestone, 6,000-square-foot residence exemplifies understated elegance. Located in the award-wining Blaine School District and within close proximity to the Southport Corridor, this is city living at its finest! The foyer, with herringbone wood floors, leads to a dramatic, hand-milled oval staircase; an architectural element that allows sunlight to cascade down from skylights and to filter throughout the house. The floor plan has stately-proportioned rooms and includes formal Living and Dining Rooms; an expansive, eat-in, gourmet Kitchen/Great Room; four bedrooms on the second level with three additional bedrooms and a Family Room on the lower level; a Penthouse Playroom leading to a roof-top deck and green roof; and an attached, heated 3-car garage. Additional features include hardwood flooring throughout the main level and upper two floors; sophisticated architectural detailing throughout the house including coffered ceiling details, barrel and groin vaulted ceilings; painted, glazed and wood paneling; laundry rooms on the bedroom level and on the lower level; five fireplaces, including one outdoors; and HD Video, Audio and Surround Sound pre-wire distribution through the house and grounds. The home also features extensively landscaped exterior spaces, designed by Prassas Landscape Studio. This home went under contract within 90 days during the Great Recession.

This living room was a total redo creating an intimate seating area around the new stone fireplace. Located off the Potomac River and the client being retired Navy, the blue & white nautical theme came naturally. I used two of the Ethan Allen 100" Paramount sofas with a more modern tapered foot for ample seating. The rectangular Dynasty coffee table in Aged Ember with two Nikita Consoles behind each sofa give a touch of Asian influence to compliment the benches in the dining room. Not wanting to impact the beautiful river view we kept the window treatments simple with stationary draperies and some woven wood panel track shades on the large sliding glass door to help with glare and afternoon sunlight control.

This fireplace renovation looks fantastic! It highlights the Quarry Mill's Door County Fieldstone natural thin veneer. Door County Fieldstone consists of a range of earthy colors like brown, tan, and hues of green. The combination of rectangular and oval shapes makes this natural stone veneer very different. The stones’ various sizes will help you create unique patterns that are great for large projects like exterior siding or landscaping walls. Smaller projects are still possible and worth the time spent planning. The range of colors are also great for blending in with existing décor of rustic and modern homes alike.
