156 Maple Avenue East, Vienna, VA 22180

A Home with a Story 1891 Hunter mill road, Vienna, VA Harking back to an earlier era, 1891 Hunter Mill Road in Vienna feels like a World Apart. These 5.3 Bucolic Rolling Acres are home to one of the most storied homes in Virginia history. The main house, greeting the world with a gracious wide front porch, was erected in 1747 by Lord Fairfax, to serve as his Hunting Lodge. Today, the property, with 4 separate structures, offers a rare opportunity to offer lodging to family or friends or to entertain in grand style. The main home presents 5 bedrooms, including a main level master bedroom suite, and 3 and a half baths. It retains much of the original hardwood and brick flooring and enjoys 4 masonry fireplaces, including one in the master bedroom. The house is a unique blend of Old World and New World. An inviting Screened Porch overlooks the countryside and the In-ground Pool. A two-level Carriage House presents a complete one bedroom home, with a Rec Room and Game Room (reminiscent of an old pub) with gas fireplace and wet bar, as well as an upper level bedroom and kitchenette and full bath. A one room outbuilding, formerly used as a “Smoke House”, is a perfect potting shed for the avid gardener. A large two-level Bank Barn (built into the bank of land) has entrances on both levels and offers about 2000 square feet of storage space. … Relax, sit in a rocker on the front porch and gaze out over the rolling countryside, where your horses can graze, your dogs or kids can frolic, and where you can enjoy a life not often found in this hectic world. … Hard to believe you’re just 1 mile from the new Silver Line Metro. 1891 Hunter Mill Road has a Story to Tell. Make the next Chapter your Story. Offered at a mere $1,750,000.

catered by Purple Onion

When distinguished guests gather to preview the Watergate... it’s still the Winston Real Estate Team, which received awards for being #1 in sales in Washington, DC and top 5% in the nation, who is there to welcome them. Whether it’s opening day in 1965 when Henry Winston, President of Watergate Management, successfully opened the doors to the first round of residents to ever make home to the storied grounds, or whether it’s the spectacular home preview held this past April, prospective buyers can expect to look forward to being greeted by the Winston family. Co-sponsored by BOWA Builders (with over 160 local and national awards in business and construction excellence), the Winston Real Estate Team welcomed over sixty guests to enjoy the unforgettable panoramic river views silhouetting the prestigious 1105/1106 Watergate South residence. Visitors came from the Kennedy Center, Watergate Management, several embassies and government offices to learn more about the breathtaking property and to enjoy the wonderfully prepared hors d’oeuvres and deserts catered by Purple Onion. As an excellent resource team to future buyers and sellers and a group capable of throwing spectacular gatherings like this most recent event, it’s clear that the Winston family has many more flourishing years ahead of them, drawing new crowds to the Watergate and other luxury properties.
