Versatile spaces in McLean

In front of the foyer, a double door opens into the formal living room, which has a wood-stove insert in the fireplace and French doors to the deck. Double doors open from the living room into the formal dining room, which has dentil crown molding, wainscoting and a stained-glass chandelier. French doors link the dining room with the deck, a swing door links the room to the kitchen, and a second set of French doors opens from the dining room into the family room. The family room has a beamed ceiling, an oversized gas fireplace and French doors opening onto the deck.

At the front of the home is the renovated gourmet kitchen, accessible from the foyer, dining room and family room. Remodeled in 2010, the kitchen includes sleek black-painted wood cabinets, open shelving, granite counters, ceramic tile flooring, upgraded stainless steel appliances and an oversized skylight. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar and opens to a breakfast area with windows facing the front courtyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a powder room with crown molding and ceramic tile flooring.

Past the kitchen is almost a separate wing of the main level that includes three large rooms with flexible uses. The first room is being used as a home office and includes a double-door closet plus French doors that open into the sunroom.

The sunroom has ceramic tile flooring, a wall of windows, a free-standing wood stove and a second set of French doors that open into a card room or sitting room. The sunroom has transoms above all the windows and doors and is currently used as an exercise room.

An exit to the front of the home allows this space to function well as a home office for people who have visitors to their office. Alternatively, the area can be used as a playroom or children’s study, an art studio or simply for additional rooms for entertaining friends and family.

The upper level originally had four bedrooms and easily could be reconfigured to that floor plan. For now, the master suite includes a separate sitting room with a ceiling fan and a double-door closet, along with a window overlooking the backyard. The owners will replace the wall between the master bedroom and master sitting room to re-create the fourth bedroom if the buyers prefer.

The master bedroom has a glass door to a private balcony overlooking the front courtyard. The suite includes a dressing room with a door to an oversized walk-in closet with built-ins. The luxurious master bath has ceramic tile flooring, a glass-enclosed shower with a seat and a granite counter on the vanity.

The upper level has two more bedrooms, each with a double-door closet. These bedrooms share a renovated full bath with ceramic tile flooring. The hall includes a linen closet and a storage closet.

The finished lower level includes a spacious bedroom with two double-door closets and a walk-in closet. This level also has a recreation room with French doors to the patio, a gas fireplace and plenty of space for a seating area and two separate game areas. Adjacent to the recreation room is a kitchenette with granite counters, a dishwasher, a wine cooler, a refrigerator, a microwave and multiple cabinets.

The lower level also has a sauna, a full bath with a deep soaking tub, a cedar closet and an oversized laundry room with ceramic tile flooring, a sink and cabinets. At the opposite end of this level is a workshop and storage room with French doors to the patio.
