More About Luxury Homes $5M and Above, Washington Metro

In an area so rich in history and architecture, homes that list upwards of $5,000,000 can come in many different shapes, styles, ages, and locations. A subject property could be set along a busy urban corridor, or it might be a sprawling retreat out in the country. One prospective buyer might crave a modernist design from one of today’s renowned architects, another might pine for a beautiful antique manor. Waterfront homes are always in high demand, but so are new custom construction mansions in Washington’s ever expanding suburbs.

Exterior design is always an important factor in evaluating high end properties, and the Washington Metro region offers a clinic in architectural appearance. Popular styles in the area include Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial, Victorian, Beaux-Arts, Queen Anne, Georgian, Greek Revival, Gothic, Arts and Crafts, Richardsonian, Second Empire, Italianate, Federal, French Country, French Normandy, Mediterranean, English Tudor, Modern, Contemporary, and more.

That dizzying array isn’t limited by age, unless the home you really want is located one of Washington’s many historic districts where the exterior of a particular property may have to remain largely intact, with the freedom to remodel and rebuild the interior to reflect today’s more modern lifestyle sensibilities.

In other words you might wind up with a delightful old rowhouse with projecting bays and intricate cornice work in a fashionable DC neighborhood like Dupont Circle, a modernist mansion in Fairfax County’s highly desirable McLean enclave, a home overlooking the water in Alexandria, or a country estate out in Loudon’s horse country, where you could very well have enough acreage for a swimming pool, tennis courts, and your own private stable. Some of these high end ideals may seem the stuff of dreams and glossy magazine covers, but a starting point of $5 million opens a world of possibilities in Washington, Northern Virginia, and parts of Maryland.
