With Thanksgiving just a few days away, the excitement of the upcoming holiday season is impossible to ignore. It’s a time to enjoy the company of friends and family, to captivate your kids with the magic of the season and give gifts to those you love. But on top of already hectic daily routines, it can be hard to stay cool, calm and collected in order to savor the season for yourself.

That’s why you deserve an escape from it all. A place for a power nap, bubble bath or a hidden corner to wrap presents. A place to relax and get well rested. Take a look at some of our most popular owner’s suite designs that can help lighten the load and get inspired to make the most of the holiday season

The Fillmore at Avendale

If the opulent owner’s suite shown on the cover attracted your eye, then this is the design for you. The Fillmore stands out as one of our most popular home designs at Avendale, a family-friendly community in Bristow, VA. And the model’s owner’s suite is equally exceptional.

From the color palette of silver and powder grey to the elevated coffered ceiling, this owner’s suite is sure to soothe the senses and lift the weight from your shoulders. The adjacent sitting room is enclosed with three window-filled walls, welcoming in natural light and providing a perfect overlook to take in the winter wonderland outside after it snows.

The Annapolis at Admirals Square

Abscond to the third floor and your private oasis in this modern, high-style townhome in Annapolis. Open the shades to soak up some vitamin D from ample windows or close the shades and settle into bed. Plus, you’ll enjoy the spacious walk-in closet, where you can keep your favorite holiday sweater fresh for the season — as opposed to stuffed away in storage.

The Annapolis townhome design also offers an optional 4th level, which can feature a loft space and additional bedroom or a spacious rooftop terrace. While the rooftop terrace provides a wonderful outdoor space during the warmer months, you might not be quite as eager to head out there over the holidays — except possibly to catch New Year’s fireworks over Annapolis. Choose the loft, however, and you’ll have an additional retreat to relax and unwind or to set up a holiday gift workshop to wrap presents.

The Kensington II at Potomac Shores

Similar to the Fillmore, the Kensington II at Potomac Shores provides a grandly spacious bedroom featuring a coffered ceiling. Instead of a sitting room, the Kensington II features an outdoor terrace to take in the beautiful scenery along the Potomac River. If you’re lucky, some seasonal snowfall will transform this terrace into a vista to look out over the winter landscape below.

The most spectacular part about this owner’s suite, though, is experienced when you step inside the owner’s spa bathroom. From the granite counters of the double vanity to the spacious walk-in shower, from the spa-style bath to the soothing powder blue color palette, this bathroom will provide all the pampering you could need during the busy holiday season.

The Cresswell at The Bluffs at Sleeter Lake

One of our newest, most-exciting neighborhoods, The Bluffs at Sleeter Lake in Round Hill, Virginia, offers the perfect setting for the holidays. Set in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and offering multi-acre conservation homesites, this is a place where you can spread out and enjoy the beautiful Virginia countryside while still being convenient to business centers in Loudoun and Fairfax counties as well as D.C. Due to its western location closer to the mountains, it’s also where you’re most likely to wake up to a beautiful blanket of snow.

Inside, the Cresswell model’s owner’s suite is located on the main level, providing ultimate comfort and accessibility. Yet it’s also set off from the main, open-concept center of the house where you’ll find the kitchen and living areas, so you’ll still have plenty of privacy. A coffered ceiling, wall molding and stunning hardwood floors complete this owner’s suite with the finest finishes.
