Chryssa Wolfe and Hanlon Design Build, are proud to present our latest custom home creation
which we fondly call the "thoughtful home". This spectacular, 4 level home located in
the highly desired Palisades neighborhood of North West, Washington, DC provides over
62 hundred square feet of luxury living at it's finest. A thoughtful, holistic approach
to homebuilding utilizing cutting edge building science -- was implemented in the development
of this property. Sustainability and style are the theme of
the home's exterior. The stately stone and stucco home features Spanish tile metal roofing,
designer metal cladded windows and doors, and hand crafted cedar corbels. The home was
built to last a lifetime with minimal exterior maintenance.
As you enter this magnificent home, the open floor plan with dynamic sight lines is self
evident. Intricate architectural detail and the bold use of color is prevalent throughout
the home. The spacious interior provides an ideal setting for entertaining, and daily
living alike.
Some of the highlights of the main level include an exquisite gourmet kitchen and breakfast
room with built in banquet seating.
A family room with a wood burning fireplace and a coffered ceiling.
An elevated screen porch off the family room with unlimited panoramic views.
A formal living room with gas fireplace
A spacious dining room made for entertaining
A beautifully crafted, oversized French antique mirror in the main foyer
A outfitted mudroom with built in cabinetry, lockers, and hanging hooks
A formal powder room with custom cabinetry and vessel sink
As you “traverse” through the home, the attention to detail is quite impressive. From
the attractive wainscoting details throughout to the furniture grade quality of the painting,
the craftsmanship of the home is undeniable.
As you travel to the second floor, the combination of large windows and the open, hardwood staircases
with forged iron balusters allow natural light to radiate through the home on all 4 levels.
The second floor features a lovely master suite including a large master bedroom, luxury
marble bathroom, and walk-in with a custom closet system.
The extraordinary home has a total of 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 2 powder rooms and a convenient
second level laundry room. As one tours this remarkable home, the creativity of design
and flawless workmanship distinguishes this property from any other available in the DC
reality market today.
The walkout basement is highlighted by an impressive entertainment room with a soaring
12 foot-tall tray ceiling, a sleek wet bar with contemporary cabinetry, and a beautiful
gas fireplace with an exotic marble raised Hearth and surround. Wonderful views of the
backyard pool are visible through the walk out French doors with transoms at the rear
of the basement.
Additionally, there is a one of a kind cabana area with built-in cabinetry and saloon style
doors to the changing room. Implementing the use of vibrant colors and fabric textures,
designer Chryssa Wolfe, has successfully created a whimsical and playful aura providing access
to the pool area.
The rear yard of this magnificent home is truly an oasis of tranquility. The highlight
of the rear yard is an exquisite lagoon blue, pool with a hidden automated safety cover.
A beautiful outdoor stone fireplace with a circular flagstone patio seating area is located
in the center of the yard. Other features include a built-in stone rotisserie grill,
a cedar timber pergola, bamboo privacy fencing, and extensive landscape plantings. A detached
garage with the convenience of a decorative, permeable paver alley access is yet another
added feature of the home.
This home is not only a pretty face. The quality of the structure and mechanical systems of
this home are the equivalent of the extraordinary finishes. Only the finest building materials
and techniques were used in the construction of this home. The home has a state of the
art insulation package utilizing open cell foam insulation to create an air tight home.
An Energy recovery ventilator is used to provide fresh and superior indoor air quality. Geothermal
technology is utilized to heat and cool this home. On one of the hottest summers on record,
the utility bills for this 6200 + SF home were typically around $350/month. The anticipated
utility bills in the spring and summer are expected to be half of that $350. This is
an amazingly low amount for a home of this size. Furthermore, the proud purchaser of
this property will qualify for a substantial federal tax credit in the magnitude of $30
thousand dollars as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment act of 2009. This large federal
tax credit, not a deduction, is a result of the installation of the highly efficient geothermal
heating and cooling systems.
The new owner of this truly unique property will have the rare opportunity to enjoy a
home which artfully merges the seemingly contradictory principles of luxury and conservation. Opulence
unlimited is creatively combined with amazing energy efficiency. We welcome the opportunity
to show you this impressive property in person. Make your reservation today!
