FROM THE OWNERS: Dear Prospective Purchaser, When we moved here from the west coast in 1999, we were struck with how different the architecture was. So many beautiful brick colonials, but we were missing our shingle-sided home in the west. So, when we saw this home, we could only hope the interior felt as good as the exterior. We felt at home immediately and were enchanted by the flow from one inviting space to another. It had such elegance and character without being pretentious and we could see ourselves and our two children making this our home. It has been a wonderful home and has helped us welcome many guests and family members to events big and small, from Christmas mornings around the fireplace, to long summer evenings watching the fireflies outside the screen porch, to dinner parties with friends and family around the dining table. This house has made it all possible, embracing everything with ease and comfort. We have loved the privacy of this home and the beauty of the changing seasons in our house in the woods. We still marvel that we live 30 minutes outside of Washington DC yet can have our kayaks on the Potomac in 15 minutes at Riverbend Park here in Great Falls. Our commute time to work in McLean is 25 minutes and we never have to get on the Beltway. The neighbors, annual events, and shops and restaurants in Great Falls Village all combine to create the sense of community that makes us feel at home. The children have moved on and we’ve enjoyed converting their rooms into spaces to enjoy our hobbies, but now is the time for us to downsize so we can travel and see friends, family and new places. We will miss the beauty and serenity of our house on Springvale Road, but the memories we have made here will last a lifetime. Sincerely, The Anderson Family
