What's a Deckhouse?

10/2/2023

I am thrilled, and honored to be the listing agent of a 1980 Deckhouse in Great Falls, Virginia.

What is a Deckhouse, you might well ask. Trust me when I say that it's a movement, as well as a wonderful product, a home which will stand for ages and which, thanks to its post and beam construction, allows the homeowner to play about with internal wall locations as they are essentially non load bearing.

My colleague, Andrea and I made an on the fly video walk around of the property, 9560 Edmonston Drive, Great Falls, VA 22066, which can be watched below:

I'm planning more open houses of this Deckhouse so let me know if you wish to be alerted to upcoming dates, subject of course to the property remaining unsold!

This delightful Middleburg estate, about to hit the market, beautifully encapsulates why one would want to live in this idyllic part of the world. Hidden well away from the beaten track, off a traditional gravel road, the house and barn are sited on ten partially wooded acres and totally insulated from the noise of every day life, except for the sounds of wildlife.

The house was designed by well respected architect, William E. Poole and built by a local custom builder in 2000. Finishings are to a very high standard and touches such as an eighteenth and a nineteenth century manel, Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors and 10-foot ceilings on the main level make this a home where memories will be created for a lifetime.

My listing of the beautiful Belmar Farm on Saint Louis Road, Middleburg just closed, with happy listing clients and delighted new owners.

The home was built by local custom builder, University Group, in 2005 and consists of almost 8,000 finished square feet on three levels. The land upon which the house sits is quite simply spectacular, with incredible views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the 25 acre site.

Belmar Farm is a custom home with 8,000 finished square feet sited on 25 acres of land in Middleburg Virginia

There is a room in the lower level which walks out to the backyard and also includes a nice fireplace for those cold winter nights

Currently there is an exercise room in the lower level which could be turned into a room for any other purpose

One of the great features of this house is that it has a full second kitchen in the lower level which would be perfect for in-laws or long-term guests

The kitchen in the lower level has tile flooring, a center island and very nice marble countertops

One of the many lovely features of this house is the large screened in porch where one can eat dinner and also relax as the sun sets to the West

Part of the porch is not screened in and has stairs going down to the outside

The screened in porch is wonderful on those hot nights to avoid bug bites

There is a separate detached three car garage which is opposite the side door of the house across a courtyard with asphalt

There are four Adirondack chairs up the hill facing the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia

This drone photograph nicely shows the meandering driveway from St. Louis Road to the house with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background

As you drive toward the house from the main road there is a large circular driveway with asphalt paving

Part of the backyard is fully fenced so that one can have dogs off leash without fear of running off

I must mention the buyers agent with whom I worked on this transaction, Mary Illes, who was absolutely fantastic to work with, and whom I am very grateful for bringing such lovely clients.
