| The Glavis house |
The Gulick Group purchased the property from the Glavis family in mid-2020. At that point, the property had already been subdivided into 18 lots, says Jamie Gulick, vice president of sales.
It’s a by-right development, so there is no need for a rezoning or public hearings.
The new community, called Hudson Quarter, is expected to be open for sales in late summer 2021. Some of the homes will be built in advance, while others will be built to spec, Gulick says. The size, cost, and design of the new homes haven’t been determined yet.

| There’s a doghouse, as well as several outbuildings at the rear of the Glavis House. |
All of the small outbuildings will be torn down, as well as the main house. George Glavis, who grew up there, is considering building another house on that site.
George’s mother, Margot Glavis, who died at age 109 in 2016, lived in that house for many years, before moving to Front Royal in 2004. According to an online obituary, she had been a teacher and a research analyst at the State Department and spoke five languages.

The new community would only be accessed from Brooks Place, where eight single-family homes were built in 2016, despite strong opposition from nearby residents. The driveway on Sleepy Hollow Road to the Glavis house will remain, but will only serve that lot.
The Gulick Group will construct a sidewalk along its property. which will be part of the sidewalk in the works for the entire length of Sleepy Hollow Road.
