The California aesthetic is coming to Northern Virginia. Modern, contemporary homes—clean, sleek lines, white paint, and lots of natural light inside—have been trending in the area for a while, but the higher the price point, the more impressive the style.
What truly gives a modern home a West Coast feel? A water view, of course. The listings below are available (two just need buyers so they can be built, but the renderings look spectacular) and overlook the Potomac River. And with all of these homes (even 620 Rivercrest Dr., which has already been completed), buyers have ample opportunity to customize and personalize floor plans, finishes, even what certain spaces will be (panic room, fitness room, theater, etc).
Check out these stunning McLean homes.
7020 Green Oak Dr., McLean
This lot will have a massive home constructed on it by 2025-2026. When we say massive, we aren’t kidding – the renderings look like it should be a celebrity’s home…so, very California.
This six-bed, 10-bath, 30,000-square-foot home will have not one, but two elevators, as well as an outdoor pizza oven, rooftop putting course, an outdoor infinity pool and indoor pool, children’s game room with a climbing wall and slide, and a hair salon space complete with a mani/pedi station. Currently listed at $50 million, whoever purchases this home can enjoy a climate controlled 14-car garage, complete with electric charging stations, a comfortable panic room (should there be a need to stay in there a while), and a temperature-controlled 3,000-bottle wine cellar.
620 Rivercrest Dr., McLean
Practically built into a cliff, Apex Homes built this home in 11 months, but there’s still room for customization. The garage has lifts and can easily house more than its current two-car garage, and there’s about 2,500 square feet of unfinished space on the lower level that can be made into a panic room, yoga room, gym, or even an additional bedroom.
The $9,497,000 price tag includes a gourmet kitchen with Bluestar appliances and Italian porcelain on the island and floors (the lower level bar, dual-sided gas fireplace and floors are also Italian porcelain) and a cocktail pool that measures 13 feet 10 inches by 6 feet 10 inches that can be heated up to 120 degrees.
681 Chain Bridge Rd., McLean
Harrison Design will be the architect for this California-style home, which will be built within 18 months once there’s a buyer. Renderings for the $13.5 million listing show a seven-bed, eight-and-a-half bath, 14,700-square-foot home along with a four-bedroom, four-bathroom 3,648-square-foot guest house.
The three-car garage is wired with electric charging stations, and the outdoor space will take advantage of river views with a pool, cabana, patio, and outdoor kitchen. The roof is made of eco-friendly, fire-proof Zinc.
