A private drive located at the end of a quiet street in Spring Valley, leads to 4800 Woodway Lane, one of Washington’s finest estates. Built in c. 1935, 4800 Woodway offers a rare opportunity to acquire a stately and private hilltop residence. Likely the second structure built in Spring Valley, this estate sits on two lots, with a combined acreage of 1.88. This historic residence was custom built and many of the custom materials and finishes are still sought-after today. Some of the notable original materials and finishes include white oak floors, walnut paneling and moldings, fireplace mantels, graceful curved stairway and Stoneyhurst granite walls.

One of Washington’s great residences, this stately limestone-clad mansion exemplifies the best of Beaux-Arts architecture. Built in 1918 by celebrated architects Clarke Waggaman and George Ray, this home has been thoughtfully designed and features many architectural elements still in their original state. With the elegance of this magnificent home still well intact, it has been lovingly restored by the current owner beyond its original splendor.

Modern amenities have been added or upgraded, including the commercial-grade elevator that accesses all levels.

$2.5 Million + Condos Headto the DC Market As the ultra-luxurious condo development, The Lauren, rapidly moves along through the construction process, some are questioning whether the D.C. market is ready for such luxury. Units in the Lauren will be between 2,000 and 4,000 square feet, the ceiling heights will run between nine feet and ten feet and the building comes loaded with highend features: direct access elevators, nine and ten-foot ceilings, private roof top terraces for select units, home automation system featuring iPad control of your electronics, high-end fixture/ appliance packages, grand two-story lobby, expansive open floors and private wine storage.

1788 Holdings (the developer) Principal Larry Goodwin believes the market is ready. He stated, “We have had a tremendous amount of interest in The Lauren given it’s a downtown location and it’s urban.” Goodwin has watched as the area transitions from “being a space that was universally despised by the debt and equity markets to one that is now coming back.” He’s also encouraged by another high-end condo project the 1788 Holdings team is involved in, The Estate Condominiums at Quarry Springs which has drawn strong interest. The team also takes confidence in the robust expansion in high-end properties in other major cities compared to D.C., which has been relatively quiet.

Units will be priced between $2.5 million and $5 million.

And then there is the penthouse suite, which will have 5,700 square feet of interior space and a party-sized terrace, which Goodwin says, “will be priced fairly dearly.”

TTR Sotheby’s International Realty has been handed the honor of marketing this “one-of-kind luxury residential condominium.”

The TTR team wasted no time in creating a sublime online experience to showcase the grandeur of the project, see here: http://www.thelaurenresidences.com.

David DeSantis, a partner at TTR Sotheby’s who is managing sales for the Lauren stated, “we’re incredibly excited and humbled to be representing this project. Given the level of quality and sophistication the Lauren brings to the marketplace, I think the developer felt that

TTR Sotheby’s International Realty was the perfect partner and we couldn’t agree more.”

The project has already been well received and potential buyers are calling for sales appointments and reserving units. According to DeSantis, “just yesterday a new study named the Washington region the wealthiest in the country. We are seeing resale condos in other DC area buildings selling at or above this pricing so we have no doubt that when buyers see what we have to offer they will recognize the value.”

“Obviously there is a lot of responsibility associated with handling sales and marketing for a project like this from start to finish but we have a great team in place to help buyers select their floor plan and finishes, manage updates throughout the constriction cycle, and then provide a seamless transition when they move in. The majority of our buyers appear to be coming from large single-family homes and we know that can be a challenging transition. We think they’re going to be thrilled with the result.”

Great Falls Up Versus National and DC Metro Averages on Key Market Forecasting Indicators

Q+A

with Casey Margenau of Casey Margenau Fine Homes & Estates

Have you noticed the Great Falls Market start to turn the corner?

Yes, the Great Falls Market is turning the corner. It has been down by 43% over the last year and “off” compared to the last 5 yearaverage, with sales and pending listings down and active listings up 20%. However, August was a good month and I feel that the sales are looking strong for the fall. It will take time to catch up with the excess of inventory but the market will eventually catch up.

What are you thoughts on the future of the real-estate market in Great Falls?

The Great Falls real estate market slow down was mainly caused by the sellers trying to push the values of their homes while in a flat market. Great Falls is and will always be a desirable place to live, because there will always be people that want a larger lot, great schools, and a community of all single-family

detached homes which is not available in many communities here. Great Falls is still in close proximity to business centers and downtown. Nonetheless, even in an area that is very desirable, anytime you think your home is worth more, even when the comparable sales say differently, you will experience push-back from the buyer; this is why it has been slow. But the fact is that in the long run, for the reasons I stated above and the fact that every year Great Falls gets a little closer in home value, they will remain strong.

Why should potential buyers take a look at Great Falls?

As buyers consider all the areas to buy a home in Northern Virginia, none have quite the cache as Great Falls. Great Falls continues to be #1 with large estate lots, the homes offer more land. One reason being

that zoning only allows single family detached homes, not allowing townhomes or condos, contributing more exclusivity to living in Great Falls. Since land is expensive, it means older homes that become functionally obsolete will be torn down and replaced with new homes therefore driving up home prices. Great Falls is in close proximity to many areas: the new Silver Line Metro, Tysons, Reston and Dulles Airport to name a few and the schools are rated top in The Nation, therefore long term your investment is sound.

Are you excepting new build construction to play a large part in the future Great Falls market?

Yes, historically Great Falls has been comprised of rural farm land and again the low density zoning.

Since land is a finite resource, the existing land will be subdivided and new homes built as well as existing older obsolete homes torn down and new homes built. New build construction will remain an important component in the Real Estate market in Great Falls.
