I think we need some photographs of late spring in the Virginia countryside to help us through this gray February day.
Tucked away in Loudoun County, about an hour outside Washington DC is Waterford VA. It is unique. Not only in Virginia but in the US.
Only 4 blocks long and 1 block wide surrounded by rolling meadows, vineyards and treed hills, this village founded in 1733 is a National Historic Landmark District, one of only three in the country.
Waterford is just beautiful. Let's take a look:
Why Waterford was Designated a National Historic Landmark District?
Today, visitors to Waterford, Virginia, experience many of the same views as residents in the 19th century. Waterford preserves the ambiance and many of the structures that characterized it during its heyday as a flour milling town in the 19th century.
The village is a Loudoun County Historic and Cultural Conservation Site, on the Virginia Historic Landmarks Register, on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1970, the entire village, with the farmland surrounding it, was designated a National Historic Landmark District, one of only three such landmarks in the entire United States.

Moving to Northern Virginia? Not familiar with the area?
We are more than traffic and a great job market.
Here is a photo tour of typical home styles and our countryside:
