While the Potomac house is a newer build, it certainly has a historic feel. The Long & Foster listed mansion opens up into a two-story foyer with a soft yellow jacquard print wallpaper above the thick white molding. Rustic wide plank wood floors help enhance the somewhat faux antique feel while still keeping it modern and adaptable. A golden chandelier hangs above the entryway, golden sconces providing more artificial light throughout. A white fireplace with Roman inspired carvings and a gold fire guard helps focus the foyer.
