BELLISSIMA IN BROYHILL – Taking pride of place in this sweetly sloping corner of Broyhill McLean Estates, 1327 Mayflower Dr. is the perfect marriage of style, comfort, and space. With a full 7 bedrooms and 7.5 baths, this fully finished 7,136sqft newly constructed Craftsman-style home is truly awe-inspiring. But this masterfully crafted mansion of more than 7,000 square feet, executed by the renowned regional team at Bella Home Design, boasts far more than size. The moment you enter, past the facade of smart white siding and foundation-level stone, you will be immediately dazzled by the sophisticated and thoughtful touches that easily put this winner in a class of its own. Light wide-plank wood floors are seductively complemented by a color palette of black, white, and touch of cappuccino. The paneled walls, fire features, and sublime light fixtures fill this vast space with tasteful country-contemporary style. Natural wood accents add a signature stamp of truly thoughtful design, while the 10-foot ceilings ensure the mood remains uplifting and light. Past the formal living and dining rooms, the gorgeous kitchen competes with the central great room to be heart of this superior home. While the superlative JennAir appliance package is a practical nod to quality, it’s impossible to ignore its beauty, along with the cool, gray quartz countertops. The practical and playful dance along the staircase, as an automated light show guides your way. As you ascend, however, you may be distracted by the breathtaking picture windows that rise with you. On this upper level, the primary suite is a world unto itself, with sitting areas, vast walk-in closet, and a truly transportive spa bath in marble, black, and natural light. Amid the multiple large bedrooms and designer en suite baths, take a moment to appreciate the incredible possibilities of the lowest level, where wet bar and gas fireplace add intimacy to expansiveness. Returning to the practical, an anteroom ready for raincoats and snow boots connects to a pristine 3-car garage. As long as we’re headed outside, let’s explore this fully fenced quarter-acre-plus yard, complete with attached screened porch boasting no-maintenance engineered flooring. If, however, you must tear yourself away from this wonderful residential world all its own, shopping and dining are easily nearby, while you’re barely a mile to I-495 or the Dulles Access Road. From top to bottom, inside and out, 1327 Mayflower Dr. will have you living la dolce vita, NoVa-style.
