Construction is complete! Brand new farmhouse-style home in Glen Echo. This custom home by award winning developer Aaron Hirsch is designed by Claude Lapp Architects and built by Welty Homes, with more than 35 years of experience building hundreds of area homes. With four bedrooms and three and a half baths, this home offers thoughtfully designed space at a nice price. Nothing has been sacrificed: carefully considered details are everywhere, from the Thermidor/Bosch appliances in the kitchen to Lili Cement tiles in the Pinterest-worthy mudroom. The entire house is flooded with light, including the lower level which could never rightly be called a basement. Upstairs has a generous master bedroom suite with a view to Virginia, marble bath with a massive dual shower plus rainshower and two walk-in closets. Two other bedrooms share a dual sink hallway bath. The second floor also includes a laundry room so big and airy that it begs for more: art studio? Craft room? Yes! The main level has a great room with coffered ceiling and fireplace, eat-in kitchen, that mudroom with extra storage, dining/den, foyer and powder room, along with two porches. The lower level includes an Au Pair bedroom/bath along with bonus/gym/office space and large luminous rec room. Outside features a privacy fence, rain garden, and generous plantings along with two mature trees.~~Glen Echo is a tight knit community where you want to know your neighbors, a community newspaper hits your actual physical mailbox once a month, and town festivities line the annual calendar. Adjacent Glen Echo Park offers a plethora of arts activities, camps, and festivals. Easy access to VA and DC too. Bike all the way to work downtown on bike paths or get our your kayak and enjoy the Potomac and C&O canal via nearby access paths. Best of all are the state~s top-rated public schools (Bannockburn is the #1 elementary school in MD) as well as Pyle and Whitman.
