A former public servant’s creative vision and dedication to preserving parklands was the inspiration behind a new residential area in Northern Virginia. Park Grove, an eight-home community in McLean, Virginia, is built on land that was once owned by former National Parks Director George Hartzog.

According to McLean Connection, "To bring the vision of living as if in nature into (or to) reality, Gulick engaged architect Bill Sutton, President, Sutton Yantis Associates Architects “They gave me a clean canvas to create, and I began my design process with layers and layers of hand sketches,” he said. “... A consistent theme in my sketches was using low pitched hipped rooflines and wide eaves echoing the prairie style of Frank Lloyd Wright."
As per McLean Connection, "Plans for the subdivision include expansive bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet and private bathrooms, features that Park Grove’s current homeowners enjoy. “They appreciate the loft space upstairs off of the secondary bedrooms, as well as the size and functional design of [those bedrooms], which gives everyone their own private place to unwind,” said Julie Zelaska, Principal, Executive Vice President, Smith | Schnider, LLC, who is the sales rep for the community."
