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.

Unique and beautiful older home with so much character and charm.
Our family was in town for my father in law’s services at Arlington National Cemetery and needed a larger home for all of us to be together. This home was perfect for that. We each had our own space yet plenty of areas to gather. Susan the host was excellent with communication and accommodating when we needed something. We can say that being in this house made a difficult time a little easier.

Family gathering
Our family has had an annual gathering for the past eight years. This property was by far the most lovely, comfortable and welcoming! The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Multiple spaces to gather together. All was just lovely. Not only did we enjoy the inside, but the porches were wonderful in the morning. The yard was perfect for kickball and wiffleball games. Susan was very quick and attentive in her communication with us. We can highly recommend this lovely house.

First Family Trip to D.C. Area
I had taken my daughters to D.C. when they were 8 and 10 - and they still talk about it. They have their own children now who range in age from 7 to 17 and we wanted them to have the same experience. We found the perfect house that would accommodate all 11 of us for the week. This "Huge Gilded-Age Home" allowed us plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as spacious common areas that provided for various activities. The well stocked kitchen was awesome, with wonderful appliances and plenty of seating. The location is close to the Metro which made trips into D.C. very painless. The "grands" will hopefully be talking about this trip the way their mothers have. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

The property is beautiful and peaceful. It is more stocked with creature comforts and things you need at a house that you dont even realize you need until you do. When i did contact the owner sheas very communicative. I would definitely recommend this VRBO. The TV in living room and media equipment in theatre are kind of confusing...

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 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.

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.
