Hill House: Modern Home in McLean Virginia

Modern Home in McLean, VA

As the name implies, this home is situated on a steep sloping site. The design challenge was to carefully place the home where it was then possible to create a functional buildable area. The result is a modern home that utilizes the sloping site to its advantage by creating unique outdoor spaces and providing exceptional views of the surrounding area.

The main level features an open-floor plan designed to entertain family and friends. The central area is dedicated to the great room and kitchen, each separated from one another by a two-sided fireplace. They are surrounded by a spacious dining area, a study with custom built-ins, and an outdoor patio that also features a gas fireplace. Located just off the garage is a functional mudroom and powder room that features plenty of storage space. Finally, an open staircase anchors the front elevation of the home to the front porch and site.

The upper level features a master suite with an expansive custom his/her walk-in closet, a master bath with a curb less shower area, and a free-standing soaking tub with his/her vanities. Additionally, the upper-level features four generously sized bedrooms with full baths and walk-in closets as well as a full-size laundry room with plenty of storage space.

The lower level features a guest bedroom with a full bath and walk-in closets amenities. It also includes an expansive recreational room with a glass enclosed wine cellar. To finish out the lower level, there is a full exercise room, media room, full bath and complemented all three with plenty of storage space.

This modern home design on a hilltop feels like a retreat but still offers all the required functional amenities a family needs.
