Sitting upon a quiet lake in Reston, this 1978 home boasts elevated living and luxury as its design features bring in light and the surrounding nature.
A modern industrial residence, 1926 Upper Lake Dr. was included in Lauren Liess’ second book, Down to Earth, and has undergone a full-home renovation and expansion under Bethesda, Maryland-based Rill Architects and Frederick, Maryland-based Woodhaven Contractors.
With 3,432 square feet of living space, this two-story property will be listed on the market on May 30 for $2.8 million. It has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a two-car garage. The patio includes a built-in grill, a plunge pool with waterfall feature, and a private dock.
A slate floor entryway leads to an office with a sliding barn door and planked ceilings. Architectural features, inspired by an early-1900s design, include the staircase and punched metal railings.
The industrial aesthetic carries through to the kitchen, which has hickory hardwood flooring, vintage factory lights, and a butcher block island that seats six.
The kitchen has a soapstone sink and soapstone counters. Floating shelves and a subway backsplash complement the stainless steel appliances.
The kitchen flows seamlessly into the great room with its gas fireplace and large windows that look out to the serene Lake Thoreau.
A loft-style second floor accents the openness of the space. There you will find a library with built-in benches.
The primary bedroom features a planked ceiling and a walkout balcony with breathtaking lake views.
In the primary bathroom, modern meets industrial with heated hexagon tile floors, a steel and glass shower door, and a separate soaking tub. His and her vanities have custom marble shelf backsplashes.
The natural stone patio features a built-in grill, high-top table seating, and several lounge areas that are perfect for entertaining. The plunge pool with waterfall overlooks the lake.
From canoeing to boat riding, there are countless opportunities for fun on the lake with a private dock for direct access.
