Three homes in McLean have been selected. The club members have tastefully decorated each home.

First, is the Foust home. This five-bedroom house is decorated with Chinese accents throughout. It is a home that speaks of warmth for family and elegance for entertaining. Its gardens feature a waterfall, swimming pool with hot tub and a view of surrounding nature.

The second selection is The Octagon House, home of Susan Cooper. This is one-of-a-kind house, which was completed in 2008. This eight-sided house is white with a red metal roof. It features a wrap around covered porch, also a large breezeway connecting to the two-story garage. The entranceway features an atrium and an elevator. Looking at the floor you see red tile spokes leading from a center point to each corner of the house. The living room features a large painting of Renoir’s “The Luncheon of The Boating Party,” with the party members depicted as Coopers family and friends. This home is made for entertaining.

Lastly, the contemporary home of Chuck and Sandy Sieber. This is the second home the couple has designed and had built in McLean. The house features Tennessee flagstone walkway, a two-story fireplace of Maryland stone, which also accents the front of the house, Chinese counter tops and Mexican tile in the kitchen, crystal chandelier from Italy. Asian décor in the media room contains gifts from her father who served in Vietnam. The collection and treasures in this house must be seen.
