The McLean House
Classic, muted, quietly beautiful.
A classic Virginia house in the muted register of the range: cross-cut travertine underfoot, warm greige and pearl limestone fields, honed near-black stone for the hearth, and a soft gold-veined crema in the primary bath. Nothing shouts; everything holds.
