It’s my favorite time of year. The holidays!

It’s a time for indulgence and parties but also giving. GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, and every day. Please remember to donate to your favorite charity or if you need a suggestion, consider Women in Housing & Finance Foundation. I’m on the board and will be happy to tell you more about our charity partners so please call or email me for more information.

This week’s feature home is a home so beautiful and luxurious that it couldn’t be located anywhere else but Ballantrae Lane. This home was inspired by exquisite European manor homes and truly defines luxury. Built by the elite ALM Builders, 1181 Ballantrae features towering ceilings that rise to gothic vaults, intricate trim work, a large club room, bar, wine cellar, gym, sauna and even a safe room!

A home built for entertaining, it includes a spice kitchen and plenty of entertaining space. Just check out the club level with its interconnecting rooms! The Versailles styled pool is perfect for relaxing and enjoying one of the most spectacular homes in the DC metro area. This home is so stunning that the feature stands alone this week.

To schedule a tour of this beautiful home or any other homes in the DC area, email Brandy Schantz at [email protected] or call 571-263-0206.
