Many of us envision the perfect morning, walking downstairs and opening the windows to let the sun shine in. Rarely does this happen, but at Georgetown Development, we aim to please! For all of those craving their Snow White moment, we would like to present the Push Out French Casement window from Marvin.

The Push Out French Casement windows is the newest addition to the company’s Ultimate Casement line. The window has traditional push-out hardware that opens with a quarter turn of a handle and features the company’s clever wash mode that allows exterior glass to be washed from the inside. Rather than the typical middle support, the two sashes join at the stiles within a single frame, like a French door, resulting in unobstructed views. The aluminum-clad window has a Kynar 500 finish and can be made in a 72-inch-by-72-inch size.

The push out window can drastically change the look and feel of any home exterior adding a level of luxury from the outside.

We all know the quote “good fences make great neighbors.” At Georgetown Development, we think good fences can make for amazing custom homes. A home with an artfully designed entryway can turn a home into an experience.

As small lots have become prime real estate for many home owners today in many desirable neighborhoods throughout the Washington, DC metro area, thoughtful landscaping has become essential to these home sites' appeal. One of the best ways to accent and define the transitional space between public sidewalk and private entry is with a unique fence or gate.
