A retreat, a gathering place, and a reflection of thoughtful craftsmanship, The Serene offers over 7,500 square feet of living space spread across three levels. The personal vacation home and rental for builders Amer and Gigi Salameh, this stunning waterfront. home was built with one purpose in mind: to bring people together.

A home like this doesn’t come together by chance.

The Serene was brought to life by Gigi and Amer’s company, A&G Homes, Inc., (also referred to as A&G Builders) a family-owned business with deep roots in the Washington, D.C. area. Since 1988, A&G Homes has been crafting residential and commercial properties with a commitment to quality, integrity, and of course – a personal touch.

Designed for both relaxation and entertainment, The Serene serves as a luxury vacation rental, offering an escape for families, friends, and special gatherings. Eight spacious bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and a seamless open floor plan invite guests to experience the beauty of lakeside living. Expansive windows frame breathtaking sunrise views over the lake, while multiple decks, screened porches, and a private sundeck off the family room create the perfect spaces to unwind.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, boasting premium stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and plenty of room to cook for a crowd. The master suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a spa-like bathroom and its own screened porch with an electric fireplace—an ideal spot for enjoying morning coffee while watching the water come to life.

Entertainment is effortless here. The lower-level walkout is a haven for fun, featuring a full kitchen and bar, a theater room, a game room packed with options like ping pong and billiards, and a cozy fireplace for cooler nights.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
