Nestled within a prestigious gated community in Keswick, this custom-built home is a testament to the timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship of the American Arts & Crafts movement. Designed by Enoch Snyder III Design / Build at the direction of the current owners, this home is a masterclass in blending craftsmanship with natural beauty, making it a true standout in the Virginia landscape dominated by traditional Colonial houses. From the moment you catch a glimpse of this home, you are greeted by unparalleled craftsmanship. The exterior features three-coat masonry stucco, a 50-year copper-colored standing seam metal roof, stamped concrete surfaces, and local Virginia fieldstone accents. Wrought iron details add elegance and strength, completing the exquisite exterior. The mature landscaping, meticulously pruned and shaped, is enhanced by drip irrigation lines to each planting, ensuring a lush and vibrant garden year-round. Inside, the dedication to craftsmanship continues to impress. The entry is graced with inlaid slate, providing a durable and elegant welcome. The Great Room beams, baseboards, interior doors, trim, windows, and mantel are all crafted from stained fir, adding warmth and character. Leathered granite countertops in the kitchen provide a unique, tactile experience, complemented by quarter sawn red oak cabinets and a custom island. Solid core interior doors offer sound insulation, and engineered hand-scraped oak floors provide durability and aesthetic appeal. The ceiling design, shaped to the roofline, maximizes space and adds hidden design elements. This attention to detail is evident throughout the house, from the built-in cabinets in the great room to the custom bookshelves in the office. The Great Room houses the living and dining areas. Boasting a Virginia fieldstone fireplace, the great room also features custom built-ins at opposite ends: one to seamlessly hide your media and one to elegantly display your dining elements, all with views of outdoor sitting areas. The owner’s suite features a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub, freestanding tiled shower, water closet, and a separate large curated wardrobe closet. The versatile loft area can be converted into a coffee bar or kitchenette for guests or a caretaker. Currently, the home has three bedrooms with a fourth flex space outfitted as a home office but could easily be configured into two bedrooms with two offices or a four-bedroom home, providing flexibility to suit your needs. Modern amenities include a whole house generator, two-zoned HVAC system, tankless water heater, whole house sound system, and an encapsulated crawl space.
