Lyon Village Cottage, designed by Deborah Blair, is a stunning five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home that has been thoughtfully customized from top to bottom. A charming white picket fence and professionally landscaped garden welcome you. Enter through a sunroom with a custom-painted cement floor, Stark sisal rug, and solid brass dog hooks. Inside, Farrow & Ball paints pair with color-finished hardwoods, solid brass and crystal doorknobs, and artisanal finishes throughout.
The open main level offers a cozy living room with fireplace, a dining room with hand-blocked Galbraith & Paul linen light fixtures by Urban Electric, and windows dressed in Belgian linen-cotton blend treatments. Handmade wool rugs and a stair runner by Elizabeth Eakins/Holland & Sherry ground the space. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a handmade antiqued UK-style freestanding pantry. A powder room and laundry complete this level.
Upstairs, three bedrooms feature Stark wool carpeting, window treatments by Carleton V and Elizabeth Eakins, and ceiling fixtures by Colleen & Co. A Visual Comfort fixture lights the hall, and the bathroom includes a custom Hwang Bishop light.
The lower level, with a private entrance, includes a full kitchen, bathroom, wallpaper by Sanderson and Cowtan & Tout, and a Stark wool rug. Above the garage, the carriage house offers a peaceful retreat with a morning kitchen, full bath, Skyler Samperton wallpaper, and Cowtan & Tout details.
The oversized garage includes a Tesla EV charger and arbor wrapped in wisteria. The backyard features a slate patio, lawn, irrigation system, and mature plantings—just two blocks from Clarendon’s shops, dining, and Metro.
