Just Sold: A Timeless Deckhouse Retreat in Great Falls, Virginia

9560 Edmonston Drive | Sold for $1,700,000

I’m delighted to announce the successful sale of 9560 Edmonston Drive in Great Falls, Virginia, a truly special property that embodies the very best of thoughtful architecture, natural serenity, and timeless design. Sold for $1,700,000, this classic Deckhouse, set on five private wooded acres, offers a story worth sharing—and celebrating.

A Deckhouse With a Soul

There are houses, and then there are Deckhouses—a revered architectural style born from a simple but powerful idea: bring nature in, and let craftsmanship speak.

Built in 1980, this home stands as a testament to that philosophy. With its signature post-and-beam construction, soaring ceilings, exposed Douglas fir beams, and walls of glass, the home feels both grounded and elevated, rustic and modern—a balance that only a well-designed Deckhouse achieves.

In the early 2000s, the property received a substantial and thoughtful expansion. Rather than overwhelm the original architectural ethos, the addition enhanced it—honoring the clean lines, natural materials, and indoor-outdoor harmony that Deckhouse admirers cherish. The result is a warm, light-filled residence that feels timeless rather than tied to any specific decade.

Five Acres of Pure Great Falls Serenity

Nestled down a wooded drive in the heart of Great Falls, the home enjoys an exceptionally private setting. Mature trees encircle the property, offering a lush, seasonal backdrop from every window.

Yet privacy doesn’t come at the expense of convenience:

• The Potomac River is a short, picturesque walk away—perfect for morning strolls, kayaking, bird-watching, or simply breathing in the calm of the water.
• Great Falls Village lies only minutes from the front door, with its coffee shops, boutiques, and locally loved restaurants.
• Tysons Corner, one of the region’s premier business and shopping hubs, is an easy drive—close enough for daily commuting, yet far enough to preserve the peaceful lifestyle that defines Great Falls living.

It’s the rare combination of seclusion and accessibility that continues to make Great Falls one of Northern Virginia’s most desired communities.

A Property With Purpose—and New Owners Who Fell in Love

What made this home particularly rewarding to represent was meeting buyers who immediately connected with its story and its spirit. Deckhouses tend to attract a certain kind of homeowner—someone who appreciates craftsmanship, calm, authenticity, and an architectural identity that stands apart from today’s trends.

The new owners fell in love with the harmony between the home and the land, the sense of retreat it offers, and the opportunity to continue stewarding this unique property for decades to come.

Honored to Represent This Exceptional Home

​It was a privilege to market and sell such a distinctive residence—one that reflects Great Falls’ rich architectural diversity and its cherished balance between nature and community.
