6649 van Winkle Dr

Function and form are flawlessly balanced in this spectacular mid-century modern. This custom home is the definition of architectural artwork. Thoughtfully designed, renovated, and expanded by Lou Sagatov of renowned Arlington Modern builders, 6649 Van Winkle Drive succeeds at the complex task of balancing open, expansive spaces with an intangible warmth that many modern homes lack. The vaulted entry is a true centerpiece, effortlessly balancing natural materials with natural light. Solid plank hardwoods, skylights, exposed beams, thoughtful lighting, and walls of windows tie beautifully to crisp design lines. The sleek kitchen space features an oversized 13' center island with striking waterfall edge, custom Adelphi cabinets, BlueStar gas range with downdraft, built-in cabinet paneled refrigerator, and a separate coffee bar with water filtration. An airy dining space opens fully to the kitchen and features a contemporary in-wall, two-sided gas fireplace. A cozy yet incredibly versatile den is tucked behind this custom feature. The open concept allows for seamless connection to the spacious yet comfortable rear family room. Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows which bring the outdoors in, this is an ideal spot to lounge or entertain year-round. Sleeping spaces in this one-of-a-kind home hit a high note thanks to this ultra flexible floorplan. A private staircase leads to a full upper level suite with breathtaking views through entire walls of windows. A built-in closet space and beautifully designed full bathroom with double sinks, sleek glass shower enclosure, and complete privacy provide the first of two owner's suite options in this home. Head to the main level and you'll find a second owner's suite option complete with a custom walk-in closet and a jaw dropping bath. This spa-like retreat offers heated tile flooring, dual sinks, and an oversized glass enclosed shower with linear drain and multiple shower heads. The rear adjoining bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and direct views to the rear patio and lawn. Two additional bedrooms and a spacious two-part hall bathroom complete the main level of this home. For the utmost in flex space, the finished basement includes multiple rooms, generous ceiling height, and direct access to the gigantic two-car garage. A primary recreation room with a custom sliding panel wall is both thoughtful and adjustable to your individual needs. This resourceful approach allows for an office space, craft space, or storage space to be easily incorporated or hidden depending on your needs. A separate exercise room is adjacent to a full bath and a room fully pre-wired and insulated for a home sauna. The mudroom creates storage and easy access to the oversized two-car garage. This custom home is beautifully situated on a sprawling .74 acre lot complete with both mature landscaping and usable grassy areas. The natural landscape adds to the peaceful setting where you will so easily forget your proximity to the nation's capitol. *Of note: the renovation and expansion project undertaken in 2017 included the vast majority of the interior such as wiring, plumbing, insulation, mechanical systems, windows, and roof.
