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.

Fantastic Experience
We had an excellent family vacation over Spring Break. The house is amazing, with lots of amenities and space for all 11 of us to spread out and a huge yard the kids enjoyed running around in. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful!
The house was exceptionally clean, comfortable and well stocked. The kitchen had anything supply one could possibly need to cook meals from simple to gourmet. We especially appreciated the pantry staples with just about any spice or cooking oil you may need. There were plenty of entertainment options available including the movie theatre screen, games and workout area. Susan was prompt in her communication and provided very clear, detailed information for check-in, check-out and tips on navigating the area. We highly recommend this rental!

The Most Perfect House for Entertaining
The house was exactly as listed and then some. Our family got together for a long overdue reunion and used just about every part of the house, the huge porch and backyard. The house had everything we could have possibly needed so we were able to really relax and enjoy our time together. The location is convenient to both attractions and transportation. Susan was a great host, responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend and hope we have another occasion to come back!

Tons of space and all you could need for a great getaway
Hi Susan, we are on the road back to Cincinnati and I just want to tell you how much we enjoyed your awesome home… And I think we used every square inch! From the basketball hoop to coffee on the deck to watching a football game in the media room to singing hymns and patriotic songs at the grand piano to Using just about every tool in the wonderfully equipped kitchen… Our families just loved it! The kids loved your books, the dads loved the pool table, and it was really a home away from home for us. Thank you.

A beautiful house and property. The house did not have a 'rental property" feel and was tastefully furnished. The kitchen was large and well outfitted with all the necessary utensils and dishware.

My large family stayed for wedding week and were thrilled to have found this home! What a gem! The bedrooms/bathrooms worked well for our group, the kitchen was extremely well stocked, the media room was used for family gatherings, and the piano was an added bonus for us! Thanks for having enough towels and other supplies to make our stay so relaxed. We hope we will have a reason to return to this fabulous home!
