Inspired Modern Living
The open kitchen and great room in the Virginia Hilltop home take advantage of the primary
river views; the grand 14-foot ceilings and oversized windows enhance the connection to
the countryside. Whether the owners are welcoming guests around the kitchen island,
dining at the round table, or kicking back in the great room, the views to the horizon are
ever-present — and that is exactly what this home was designed for.
The great room not only welcomes in panoramic views from nearly side, but also provides
access to the central courtyard as well as the indoor-outdoor sun porch for four-season
enjoyment.
Outside, the impressively expansive open terrace has walkable skylights and is accessible
from the main living spaces of the house as well as the owner's retreat.
