REAL ESTATE WITH THE DE RAEDT TEAMEST 2018 GREAT FALLS, VA 02 04 04 05 08 WALKER ROAD FLAGSHIP LISTINGS MARKET STATS NOTABLE SALES ABOUT PCO SELLER GUIDE MEET THE TEAM YOUR HOME VALUE 06 07

The home has undergone an extensive multi year renovation under Lauren’s direction as she expertly selected the highest quality materials to achieve the ideal balance of authentic charm and modern convenience She preserved and restored historic details like the casement windows with cremone bolts from France and the original antique stained glass saved from the original DC location of the Heringer family’s restaurant Every piece of woodwork has been hand sanded, every upgrade thoughtfully executed the level of finishes is simply extraordinary

What an honor to represent our friends and Property Collective co founders Lauren and David Liess in the sale of their personal residence here in Great Falls! We heard some buzz that the real estate community thought it couldn’t be done but we broke records with the price and are so excited for what’s next This was the first transaction in a domino of dreams coming true for the Liess’, the De Raedt family and our company. Beautiful and exciting times ahead!

If you follow Lauren on Instagram, you’ll see the down to earth living her family enjoys There are extensive gardens including a European inspired stucco terraced potager garden, a goose house and a chicken coop with its own rose cutting garden There s a stocked pond tree lined allées and a flat open field that has seen some epic tented Halloween parties (and we have the photos to prove it!)

We’ve known for awhile that there was a possibility that Lauren and David would be selling their home but somehow when the time came, it still felt like it snuck up on all of us The team mobilized quickly to give this special listing the attention it deserved and the presentation and marketing was every bit as beautiful as we could have imagined We launched the listing with a broker’s open exclusively for Property Collective agents It was one of those magical days when the sun was shining and everything just seemed to come together perfectly

02 Walker Road is a one of a kind, alsatian inspired property previously owned by the Heringer family of L’Auberge Chez Francois It’s situated on more than five breathtaking acres overlooking Walker Bend Valley and its own private pond You may have seen it sitting up on the hill the last time you drove into the heart of Great Falls It s like it belongs in another place!

“We stepped into a way of life with a vision started by the original owners and it was like we got this chance to live in a storybook house… It’s been magical Never have I loved a place like this one ”

Georgetown Pike is a unique and private estate in one of the most desirable locations in McLean In a market with plenty of new construction options this home had character and many of the features “pandemic buyers” were prioritizing There was a separate garage and carriage house apartment perfect for working and learning from home or guests, one of the most impressive pools we’ve seen and a large, private peaceful lot

throughout the listing period It was also a big hurdle overcoming buyer expectations that the home was on Georgetown Pike when it was actually set back on 2+ acres backing to an expansive wooded area at the end of a long, tree lined drive While the home showed tremendous value for the square footage, land and price point, it took time to attract the right buyer who understood the property and appreciated the fact that it was not a new build In the end, our sellers patience paid off and a lovely new family now calls this special property home!

The exposure of having our Property Collective sign right on Georgetown Pike was incredible visibility and accountability
