his 11,000 square-foot colonial masterpiece is in The
Reserve in McLean—an exclusive neighborhood
comprised of 175 high-end homes. The property
features a precast circular driveway, a four-car silo garage, and
a sprawling veranda with slate flooring overlooking a
beautifully landscaped 1-acre lot. The backyard is a private
oasis, complete with a pool, fire pit, fountains, patio, and a
quaint beach area perfect for relaxing or playing beach
volleyball. Entering through a custom-made, oval-shaped
cherry front door, you are greeted by a grand marble foyer
and a striking circular staircase. The home boasts natural
cherry wood and hardwood flooring throughout, including on
the stairs. The main level includes an embassy sized dining
room and a formal living room, both adorned with mason
fireplaces featuring precast mantles. Additional first-floor
amenities include a powder room, a library that opens to the
back patio, a two-story family room, and an exceptional
custom kitchen with a butcher block center island, inset
cabinets, and custom knobs. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sunlit
morning room, a butler's pantry equipped with a wine chiller
and sink, a spacious mudroom, a large laundry room, a family
bathroom, and an expansive walk-in pantry. The upper-level
houses three secondary bedrooms, one of which is a private
suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, while the other
two share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The luxurious primary
suite features a sitting room with a fireplace, a private
veranda, two vast closets, and an opulent bathroom with a
waterfall tub and a doorless shower.
This level also provides access to a large room currently used as a
home office/boardroom with garage access, and it could also
serve as an exercise room or additional living space. From here,
stairs lead up to a fourth-level suite, which includes two
bedrooms or office spaces, a kids' playroom, and a full
bathroom. The lower level is a fully above-ground, walkout
space featuring a custom-made bar with a view into the wine
cellar, a large recreational room with a fireplace, a media room,
and an exercise room. All these spaces open out to a covered
veranda and extend to a serene area perfect for lounging,
tanning by the pool, or sitting by a fire pit with a waterfall feature.
This property offers an absolute oasis in the heart of a beautiful,
gated community. The neighborhood hosts events at the
gatehouse for children during birthday parties and holiday
parties, fostering a close-knit community atmosphere where
children and families connect and thrive together.
