Huge Gilded-Age Home for Entertaining

“Gilded age” architecture evokes exclamations of “I LOVE this house”! Gorgeous, huge, home - professionally designed for entertaining. You’ll be proud to show this place off, and will garner accolades for your fine choice. Fresh, bright, open floor plan with plenty of views and sunshine.

This historically detailed 6,000 square foot home on a large 1 1/3 acre private lot, is 20-minute easy drive to Washington, DC. It is located where Vienna, Tysons Corner, and McLean come together and is easily accessible from 495 Beltway Route 95 corridor, Metro, Dulles Airport, Reagan National Airport, and Route 66. Some of the best shopping in the world is a 5-minute drive to Tyson’s Corner Mall and Galleria. Museums, Galleries, Performances, Historical Sites, even National Parks, abound. Metro Rail Silver and Orange lines are very close.

This place is perfect for vacations, sight-seeing, family reunions, a place for family to stay for a wedding in the area (either master can function as a bridal suite). NOTE: NO EVENTS, WEDDINGS, ETC are allowed on the property. Only registered overnight guests on property. No additional guests, parties, or gatherings. A copy of a valid government issue photo ID with name and address matching your VRBO record, is a requirement of booking.

This is an upscale bedroom community of Washington DC. Vienna was named third by Money Magazine – Best Places to Live 2013. The sheer quantities of museums (both public and private), performances, shopping, and restaurants within 5 to 30 minutes is mind-boggling. You’ll never run out of things to do.

The house, the kitchen, dining room, living and family/media rooms are designed by an award-winning architect. All rooms are spacious. In-season, build a crackling fire in the double-sided fireplace. Play the baby grand, or hire a professional to entertain!

Numerous restaurants and high-quality caterers in the area can make your stay effortless. Ask us for recommendations.

High ceilings, lots of windows and sunshine, contemporary color schemes – this is a feel-good, show-off place. Two huge master suites, plus four large bedrooms, all with king size beds, plus a spacious, fun, third floor which can accommodate slumber parties for the young-folk – all provide plenty of room for everyone, and space to get away for some peace and quiet! Giant 110” projection TV screen will surprise and delight - perfect for movies, presentations, ball games, and old family movies.
