Almost sixty years ago, Robert Simon signed off on this checklist of suggestions for new townhouses in Reston, evidence that he liked to be involved in everything, even door placement. We'll let you decide whether or not your bath and kitchen qualify as "sexy".

And while you're at it, mark your calendars for the 2026 Reston Home Tour on October 17th to check out some of those "sexy" bathrooms and kitchens yourself! 😉
