About This Home

As of May 2024

Broker's Open this Thursday, 4/11, from 11am-1pm. Offer deadline Monday, 4/15 at 2pm. Seller does reserve the right to accept an offer prior to the deadline. Rare opportunity to purchase the personal residence of renowned interior designer, Lauren Liess! Property Collective proudly presents 256 Bliss Lane, a modern horse country masterpiece in the heart of Great Falls, Virginia. Situated on 2 bucolic acres and fully renovated, the home enjoys gorgeous pasture views from every room on the main level. This equestrian property walking-distance to L’Auberge Chez Francois includes a three stall horse barn with electrical, a tack room, storage room, horse fencing and trailer entrances.

The exceptional interior has been completely reimagined in Lauren Liess’ signature down-to-earth design style while enhancing all of the home’s vintage charm. Renovations have been completed by Carrmichael Construction with the highest standard of quality craftsmanship and finishes - A chef’s kitchen by Unique Kitchens and Baths with natural quartz counters and top of the line appliances, Lauren Liess x Well-Born Wright UV European hard wax finished wide plank white oak floors as well as hand-selected designer lighting, tile and fixtures - many from Lauren’s various product lines and collaboration.

The floor plan is set up for a busy and elevated lifestyle where function matters as much as form and everything is where it feels like it should be. The result is a 3 level home that encourages a simpler way of life that is in touch with nature while organized for ease and low-maintenance living. The family room opening up to the massive patio and the outdoor bar with a pass-through kitchen window are unique and thoughtful features that allow for effortless entertaining. Bedrooms and living spaces offer flexibility and room to grow as your family needs evolve.

Located in the desirable Langley High School pyramid and minutes to Tysons Corner, I-495 and the GW Parkway, this is true lifestyle property in the heart of Great Falls. All major systems updated and well replaced since 2021. Welcome home!
