The great room also has access to a loft with built in bench seat. Each bedroom takes advantage of oversized picture windows, and on the main level, the owner's bedroom has a skylit, custom walk-in closet. The site is elevated enough to provide seasonal views of the Potomac, and the backyard includes a terraced lawn with mature trees and a pond-side patio.

Up a stairwell lined with exposed brick, the owner's bedroom has a wall of custom closets and also enjoys a separate sitting area with exposed brick. The interior is prewired for surround sound and has heated floors, and the house also has access to a rear grilling patio.
