Although home inventory numbers have continued to increase year-over-year, so have the prices of many NoVA homes. In August, we not only saw one of the most expensive sales in the region, but also plenty of historic homes find new owners. According to Homes.com, these are the five most expensive houses sold in Northern Virginia this August.
$18.5 million: 6431 Georgetown Pk., McLean (picture)
The last time we wrote about this home, it had already been on the market for 696 days. Nearly 20 months later it is officially off the market. And it made a splash as one of the most expensive homes ever sold that doesn’t sit along the Potomac River. At 22,000 square feet, this new construction estate includes 10 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and dozens of luxury amenities and design elements. It features a fireside library, dining room that seats 12 guests, Italian cabinetry, screening room, and a spa with a dry sauna just to name a few. Outside is a heated in-ground swimming pool, an outdoor entertainment space with a 200-inch TV, and a floor-to-ceiling waterfall.
$2.71 million: 1129 Delaplane Grade Rd., Upperville
Originally built in 1832, the Alston House has received a handful of renovations since the turn of the century. The main house expanded with an addition in 2002. The pool house, which is located on the property’s second lot, was built in 2006. Located on two acres, the five-bedroom property also includes mature trees, landscaped gardens, an in-ground pool, and a fish pond with a waterfall.
$2.35 million: 6139 Franklin Park Rd., McLean
Behind this 1912 white clapboard home awaits cozy and historic charms. At just over 5,000 square feet, the main house includes eight bedrooms and five full bathrooms highlighted by wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood floors, and skylights. In the backyard, you’ll not only find a quaint deck overlooking the tree-filled yard, but also a four-level guest cottage.
$2.34 million: 2503 N. Jefferson St., Arlington
Built in 1933, this 92-year-old home combines the best aspects of a farmhouse with modern designs. Inside the six-bedroom home, you’ll find an eat-in kitchen, formal living room, library, and an in-law suite. The preserved stone walls throughout the home used to be the home’s original exterior, adding a glimpse into the past in the kitchen and other lower-level rooms. The expansive patio with a built-in fire pit provides plenty of gathering space while still having room for gardening and games.
$2.124 million: 6016 Pike Branch Dr., Alexandria
This Alexandria home was billed as an ideal for those who love to host. With an in-ground pool, extensive patio, and multi-sport court in the backyard, it’ll be easy to keep guests of all ages entertained. As you head inside, the kitchen with the long, centered island will make party prep a breeze as the screened-in porch provides solace on those hot summer days. Though the home was built in 1949, it has undergone two additions and one extensive remodel.
