Winter 2015

PORTFOLIO
The mountains seen from the great room appear to have
been skillfully placed just to enhance the view from the
20-foot high bay window. The Blue Ridge Mountains
stretch across its width, making a spectacular backdrop
for the rolling pastures and forests, dotted here and
there with a rustic barn, fences, and grazing cattle. This is Hidden
Streams, 194± acres located in beautiful Madison County, Virginia.
Situated north of Charlottesville and within an easy drive of Northern
Virginia and Washington, D.C., Madison County is a rural retreat
between two vibrant areas of historic Virginia. Once you manage to
pull away from the views, you will see that beauty lies inside as well
as out. The timber frame home that provides the context for the bay
window contains over 7,500 square feet of finished living space. The
rich, blond woods of the timber framing are complemented by the
reclaimed oak cider barrel floors and the oak stairs, railings, doors,
windows, and trim. The custom designed stained-glass entry and
other special touches are evidence of the care and craftsmanship
that went into the construction of this unique home. Five bedrooms
and additional bonus rooms provide all the space and flexibility for
a large household, or one that just grows on special occasions. The
master suite is spectacular, featuring a large bow window with its own
amazing views, two walk-in closets, a sitting area, large master bath
with shower and Jacuzzi, and a dressing room. The second floor has
one large en suite bedroom and two that share a bath. In addition to
an en suite bedroom, the walk-out lower level includes a large main
room (billiards, anyone?), a full bath and two bonus rooms. But real
living begins with the kitchen and Hidden Streams boasts a gourmet
stage for preparing your meals. To enjoy those meals, choose the
spacious dining room, the cozy breakfast nook or in fair weather, a
table on the deck. While admiring the panoramic mountain views
from the deck, you will also notice the professionally landscaped patio
leading up to the swimming pool and cabana. With these and many
more amenities, Hidden Streams is a place to enjoy country living
at its finest.
