Spa Dreams and Clean Lines: How Sotheby's Realty Turned a New Build Into a Modern Masterpiece

Nestled in the heart of Arlington’s vibrant 22204 neighborhood, this newly built home designed and crafted by Sotheby’s Realty is a masterclass in modern architecture and warm, livable luxury. Every square foot reflects thoughtful design, from the open-concept living areas to the serene spa-style bathrooms, making it a true showcase for contemporary interiors.

Discover our complete collection of bathroom vanities with sink, thoughtfully designed for both style and functionality.

Light-Filled Living Spaces

The main level unfolds as one continuous gesture — oversized black-framed windows on two sides invite the leafy streetscape in, blurring the line between interior and out. Pale oak flooring runs uninterrupted through living, dining, and kitchen, lending a quiet continuity, while a floor-to-ceiling fluted walnut fireplace wall introduces vertical drama and tactile depth. Against an otherwise restrained neutral palette, it's the kind of bold material moment that gives the whole space its pulse. Natural light does the rest, washing every surface and letting the architecture speak for itself.

Gourmet Kitchen with Architectural Detail

In the kitchen, a waterfall-edge marble island commands the room — equal parts sculptural centerpiece and serious work surface. Slab-front cabinetry keeps the lines clean and unbroken, integrated appliances disappear into the millwork, and modern pendants float overhead with just the right visual weight. It's a kitchen that refuses to choose between beauty and performance, moving effortlessly from a Tuesday night dinner prep to a full-scale dinner party without missing a beat.

Bathrooms that Redefine Modern Luxury

And then there are the bathrooms, which honestly might be the best rooms in the house. Sotheby's didn't just pick one vanity and repeat it. They chose four distinct O&N Floating Vanity models, each one matched to the mood of its room. The Saggia in Gray Oak anchors the primary suite with quiet richness. The Breton brings deep Walnut grain to contrast against porcelain tile. The Bogota cools things down in Ash Gray for a guest bath. And the Harlow LED in Brown Walnut adds a little evening drama with its integrated under-cabinet glow. Every bathroom feels like its own experience, but they all share that same floating, weightless quality that keeps the whole home feeling cohesive.

Saggia Floating Vanity – Gray Oak Finish

In the primary suite, the Saggia vanity introduces a rich Gray Oak tone that anchors the space with subtle texture. Paired with matte-black fixtures and a broad illuminated mirror, it delivers a calm, gallery-like aesthetic.

Breton Floating Vanity – Walnut

Another bath features the Breton vanity, where deep Walnut wood grain contrasts beautifully with large-format porcelain tile. The floating installation enhances the sense of openness while keeping the design crisp and modern.

Bogota Floating Vanity – Ash Gray

The Bogota vanity brings a cool Ash Gray finish to a guest bath, balancing the warmth of natural wood accents elsewhere in the home. Its streamlined silhouette emphasizes simplicity and effortless maintenance.

Harlow LED Floating Vanity – Brown Walnut

For a touch of modern drama, the Harlow LED vanity in Brown Walnut integrates subtle under-cabinet lighting. The soft glow elevates evening rituals and underscores the vanity’s architectural lines.

Serene Private Retreats

Generous bedrooms continue the neutral, nature-inspired palette, while expansive windows frame lush treetop views. In the owner’s suite, the ensuite bath showcases a spa shower and the Saggia floating vanity, combining elegance with everyday functionality.

Why Floating Vanities Matter

From a designer’s perspective, floating vanities create the illusion of more space, enhance light flow, and make under-cabinet cleaning simple. O&N’s thoughtfully engineered construction and premium finishes ensure lasting durability while remaining a striking focal point for years to come.

This residence reflects how a carefully curated floating bathroom vanity can elevate a space with understated luxury and architectural refinement. With its clean, elevated form and precisely selected materials, the vanity enhances both visual openness and spatial clarity while maintaining a strong sense of sophistication.
