Two level expanded Goodman contemporary has five bedrooms, three full baths with a reversed floor plan, beautifully nestled amongst mature trees overlooking Paul Spring Park. The main level showcase is an open living room with rebuilt wood-burning fireplace and walls of windows and a library/office with built-in bookcases. A spacious master bedroom addition has treetop views and includes a master bathroom, and study which was originally conceived as an in-law suite (plumbed and wired for appliances). Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bathroom and access to a large deck complete this level. Downstairs, the lower level features a sunny kitchen with original St Charles cabinets, quartz counter tops, new appliances, and pass through/counter seating overlooking an oversized dining/family room area with another refurbished fireplace. A second glass enclosed family room/recreation room with outdoor access is nearby along with two more bedrooms, a full bathroom and laundry room. Outside the kitchen entrance is a separate studio/workshop with power, heat and air conditioning and a half bath…perfect for artists, woodworkers, private office and more. The grounds include flagstone and brick paths, multi-season plantings, and multiple outdoor seating areas. This very special home is minutes away from the neighborhood pool and commuter routes and a quick drive to Old Town, National Gateway and DC
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The historic community of Hollin Hills is comprised of approximately 450 mid-century modern homes designed and built by architect Charles Goodman and developer Robert Davenport. The homes are characterized by their large private wooded lots, sleek lines, and blending of interior and exterior vistas with their distinctive walls of windows. This close-knit community offers something for everyone from a book club to babysitting cooperatives to the Hollin Hills Orchid Society. Annual events such as the Fall potluck, the 4th of July picnic, Holiday caroling, and the bi-annual Hollin Hills House and Garden Tour bring together young and old alike and help to make this such a special place to live. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 2013. This provides formal recognition of the historic architecture and community planning of Goodman and Davenport and identifies nearly 475 contributing historic structures, including this house.
Hollin Hills is a neighborhood with covenants that govern your property. Any exterior modifications of your home will require approval from the Design Review Committee. For more information and copies of the covenants and DRC Guidelines, check out www.hollinhills.org.
