Description

Solid classic 1950s brick construction on old farmland completely renovated and re-engineered for climate resiliency, efficient cooling and heating, and elegant aesthetic integration of the natural landscape throughout the home and property. All new electric appliances installed after removing gas line this year, with south facing roof ready for solar installation. Regraded property and cultivated curvilinear paths manage excessive rainfall while irrigating the terraced garden beds in back, along with herb and pollinator friendly flower gardens in front. Rock-wool reinsulation in exterior walls and interior floors/ceilings adds heating/cooling efficiencies as well as fire suppression and moisture resistance. Stately original hardwood floors and high ceilings on main level yield to the cozy whimsical upstairs bedrooms with tree top and open sky views that give the feeling of an eagle's nest. Backing up to a protected park where nature abounds, this home is a haven away from the buzz of DC, and if you are ready to care for this land, you will be rewarded with the fairy tale you get to live in.
