A Word From Our Contributing Writer District Home Magazine is a leading source for modern design, architecture, luxury living and exclusive real estate listings.

Ezio Mattiace

of Arte Modus

A kitchen is a place that brings everyone back to fond childhood memories, family reunions and relaxation. Kitchen cabinetry making is an art that rarely reminds you of technical innovation. To challenge this embedded concept of ours Arclinea, the Italian kitchen cabinet manufacturer, whose artistry in making stunning kitchens goes back to 1925, launched its new line Steelia. Steelia relies on a new cabinetry making process and design that uses PVD, or Physical Vapor Deposition of titanium molecules on its stainless steel panels. This treatment gives steel greater hardness and resistance to wear and tear as well as being eco-friendly. The colors: Black, bronze and champagne, and with champagne, it comes another reason to ‌ cheer!!

STAY TUNED If you’re anything like I was a few months ago, I had seen the RLAH signs around town, knew agents who were affiliated with RLAH, and had heard great things about the company. However, that was the extent of what I knew. Until I met with the ownership and management team.

After that meeting, I knew that this company was something special and that I wanted to be a part of it. Having been a Realtor / Broker in the DC market for nearly 18 years, I’d been to a number of companies (including having owned my own brokerage) and knew what I was looking for.

RLAH combined the best of what other companies had to offer. A large national brand with offices throughout the country including their affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway, but at the same time a local company

with all management, tools and support right here in the DC region. And most of all, a great group of agents who create an energy and dynamic like I hadn’t seen before. So, I decided to come on board with RLAH. However, I believed in the company so much, that I became not just an agent, but a Partner as well. And am currently in the process of opening our 5th local office in Bethesda, MD over the next months.

If you feel the same way that I describe above, then I encourage you to reach out to me so that I can show you everything that “wowed” me about RLAH and all of the tools, systems & support to take your business to the next level. Looking forward to great things ahead!

A SENSE OF

On the Outer Banks

Spa Start off right by easing into vacation mode at the Koru Village Spa. Treat yourself

This summer, cool off from DC’s sweltering heat

to a Deep Sea Massage or Eminence Organic Facial to leave your stress behind and immerse into a relaxing trip. Nothing says vacation like a little pampering!

by heading down to the Outer Banks of North

Touring the Lighthouses The Outer Banks is home to some of the most

Carolina. From luxury spas to windsurfing, everyone can find a way to unwind from urban stress during their stay. The Outer Banks offers a variety of deluxe accommodations, from posh, oceanfront hotels to expansive vacation rentals. Whether you’re here for sunny family fun or a romantic seaside getaway, the Outer Banks has your itinerary set. Read below for some of our personal favorites at our go-to weekend escape.

stunning lighthouses in the country, so it’s no wonder these landmarks are one of our must-sees. Stop by the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest in the US, as well as the Ocracoke Lighthouse, the nation’s second-oldest still in operation, built in 1823. Aside from being beautifully constructed, these buildings speak of a bygone era. You might be surprised to find that even after living in DC, there is still much more of our nation’s story to learn. Tickets are sold onsite only, so be sure to get there early!

Stand-Up Paddleboarding Vacation doesn’t have to mean giving up on your workout routine! Stand-up paddleboarding is a great way to see the beauty of the Outer Banks while getting an awesome core workout. Rent for an hour, day, weekend or even an entire week and learn the basics from expert instructors. Kids will love learning a new way to have fun in the water, and for the weekend romantics, a sunset paddle is the perfect way to start your evening together.

Dining in Style For the perfect grand finale dinner, visit 1587 Restaurant.

Showcasing the many seafood offerings of the region as well as an extensive wine list, 1587 offers guests a luxury dining experience unique to the Outer Banks. We recommend the ginger hoisin glazed tuna steak, paired with a light Pinot Noir. Bon appetit!

MLS 710408 | 208 W. Third Street, Historic Lewes Offered at $1,100,000 LIVING HISTORY Rich history and remarkable style are the hallmarks of this stand-out Historic Lewes home. The story began in the 1730’s: Built in Colonial saltbox architectural design with post and beam construction, the home originally housed a tavern, and a central chimney served four fireplaces in the original rooms. Remarkable “chapters” in following centuries have added depth of style and modern luxury to the exposed brick and beams and gorgeous floors. Today, an entertaining-friendly circular traffic pattern on the first floor includes an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, three sinks and a five-burner gas ranges, which opens to the great room. Four bedrooms, each with a full bath, and a beautiful private yard with in-ground pool add to the modern attraction. This gem has been a favorite on both The Lewes Christmas Tour and The Lewes Garden Tour.
