Joy Design + Build is excited to present two gorgeous contemporary homes masterfully designed by James McDonald Architects. This bespoke two home project features cutting edge build technology, exquisite material choices, and masterful site design to deliver an unparalleled mix of style, luxury, and convenience.

Perfectly situated on an elevated quarter acre lot, backing to gorgeous mature trees, Melrose A is subtly private, yet features one of the most sought-after locations in the region: just three blocks to shopping and dining in downtown McLean.

Out front, the captivating stucco and stone faade blends timeless design principals with dramatic modern elements. Ample dramatic windows let natural light spill throughout the home. The meticulously designed semi-open floor plan offers an ideal flow of space, yet allows privacy and separation of uses when desired. The roomy attached patio with oversized glass sliders highlights the attention paid to the seamless blending of interior and exterior entertaining.

A short jaunt up the designer staircase, youll find a jumbo owners suite with breathtaking vaulted ceilings, generous double vanities, and his and her walk-in closets. The three additional bedrooms feature coffered ceilings, en-suite bathrooms, and walk in closets.

The nearly 2000 sq ft walk out basement, no afterthought, features a half dozen large windows for ample natural light, a jumbo family room, game room, full wet bar and dedicated gym space as options, and an additional bed and full bath. Push open a second set of oversized sliding glass doors onto a large covered patio, and gaze into a private oasis of mature trees and meticulous landscaping.

Construction is slated to begin shortly, so theres still time to add your own touches with our in-house design team, truly making this show stopping house a home.
