Mitchell & Best Next Door’s Inspiring Custom Homes Completed in 2022
Westport II in Gaithersburg, Maryland
This beautiful Westport II completed for our clients in Gaithersburg epitomizes the perfect combination of style, comfort and affordability. This budget driven custom home effectively highlights that your dreams of custom homeownership can be achieved without breaking the bank — especially with Mitchell & Best Next Door.
The brightly custom-painted front door welcomes you in style, setting the tone for the rest of the stunning and thoughtful interior designs that await. Boasting an impressive open floor plan, this home presents a great flow between the family room and the gourmet kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere that’s ideal for entertaining and socializing.
The exterior is finished with durable and elegant HardiPlank siding for show stopping curb appeal, while upgrades to fencing and landscaping were done to add an overall charm to this custom home. Additionally, we built a stone patio instead of a covered porch (as shown on the plan) for these buyers, allowing them to enjoy more time outdoors and basking in the warm sun.
This interior is complete with a host of personalized touches including a 2-sided direct vent fireplace with modern slate marble surround. The kitchen’s focal point is a striking hexagonal tile backsplash and lots of open shelving. Stunning custom tile work can be seen throughout the home. Special moldings and engineered, wide-plank hardwood flooring provide warmth throughout this home. The free-standing soaking tub and the wainscoting tile work that extends up the wall in the owner’s suite bath are just a few of the luxurious features specially requested by our homeowners. Our team also finished all the rooms in this spacious basement, offering immediate enjoyment and an affordable alternative to hiring a contractor at a later time.
This residence was built with exceptional care for a lifetime of better living and a quiet personal sanctuary.
Hawthorne in Frederick, Maryland
This stunning custom Hawthorne is the perfect embodiment of our newest buyers’ dreams and desires. We spent months together, collaborating with an architect in order to create a unique design based on our original floor plan that would essentially meet the exact needs of the new owners.
This home features exceptional architectural work that is highlighted in every detail. Among the standout features are a second kitchen — the “scullery” — with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances for additional gourmet luxury, even offering a separate entrance from the family room. The Trex Select® deck is an expansive outdoor oasis, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Custom cabinetry, thoughtful built-ins and tons of upgraded interior trim can be found throughout the home, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing. A cozy reading nook with a bookcase and window seats provide the perfect spot to unwind with a good book.
From the custom paint selection all throughout to the finished attic for a flexible living experience to the tasteful real brick chimney, we are proud to have completed the perfect custom home for our clients.
Eagle’s Nest in Darnestown, Maryland
This breathtaking custom home is a true masterpiece, boasting an impressive array of stylish features and timeless designs.
A highlight of this customized Eagle’s Nest is the beautiful courtyard garage, adding a unique and alluring touch to this recently completed Maryland home, set on 25 picturesque acres. Adorned with HardiPlank siding, this property showcases both durability and elegance — setting the stage for all the luxury that’s inside.
The custom built-in shelves and cabinetry were tailor made to meet the specific needs and preferences of our buyers, ensuring that every inch of this space is utilized exactly how they desire. Incredibly spacious walk-in shower designs offer a wealth of benefits, from accessibility and safety to more flexibility and relaxation. The home’s expansive basement is finished with a full bath and an attractive wet bar, providing a sense of versatility and comfort to this space.
These homeowners can enjoy the best of outdoor living with a spacious and private outdoor deck that includes a screened-in portion. This space also includes steps for access down to the property’s remarkable backyard.
A spacious and private outdoor deck provides these homeowners with a stunning sanctuary, complete with a screened-in portion for enjoying the fresh air without the bother of insects.
