“Hume Sweet Hume” Just an hour west of Washington, DC, serenity begins where the city fades. Past Fairfax, Centreville, and Manassas, the road winds gently into Virginia’s Cavern Country—rolling foothills, postcard villages, far-reaching pastures, and quiet woodlands. By the time you pass the train tracks and the charming hamlet of Hume, you know you’ve arrived somewhere different. Somewhere timeless. Here, on land that feels untouched and wholly yours, lies a private retreat surrounded by forests, a winding creek, and a sparkling pond. This is what “home” should be—secluded, breathtaking, and welcoming. The residence itself is a dynamic rambler designed for comfort, elegance, and modern living. A two-car garage connects seamlessly to an eight-car pavilion-style carport, with a crooked trail descending to the pond’s edge. Inside, the heart of the home is a Euro-inspired chef’s kitchen with contemporary finishes, opening into a soaring 26-foot great room. From here, step out to the central deck overlooking the lake, or relax on the southern-living style porch that spans the front of the home. The primary suite occupies its own private wing with sweeping pond views, custom appointments, and quiet luxury. Opposite the suite, two spacious bedrooms (or offices) share a convenient hall bath, while a versatile greeting room offers the perfect home office or formal living space. The finished lower level is designed for both leisure and function: a media room, exercise room, den, expansive recreation room, a full hall bath, and one additional bedroom and one unofficial bedroom provide endless possibilities for hosting family and guests. A full walkout leads directly to the backyard, blending indoor and outdoor living. Every detail of this home embraces the landscape and the lifestyle it inspires. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch, entertaining pondside, or retreating indoors, one truth becomes clear: There’s no place like Hume.
