MLS® # VAFX2235986
Nestled on five serene acres in McLean, this breathtaking estate, inspired by the chteaux of the Loire Valley, offers an unrivaled blend of privacy, elegance, and luxury. A sweeping driveway leads to a stately motor court, setting the stage for the home’s grand architectural presence, featuring a classic mansard roof, Juliet balconies with custom iron railings, and expansive rooftop terraces. Impressive double doors open into the soaring two-story foyer, where 20-foot ceilings, exquisite travertine flooring, and bespoke ornamental crown moldings set a tone of refined sophistication. The focal point is a grand curved marble staircase with an intricately detailed iron and brass railing, adorned with gold-leaf accents. To the right, a distinguished office showcases floor-to-ceiling mahogany built-ins, cherry hardwood flooring, and a gas fireplace with an ornate marble-style mantel. To the left, the formal dining room impresses with built-in china cabinetry, custom moldings, and an opulent fireplace with a cast stone-style mantel. Beyond, the gallery flows into the formal living room, where triple-arched French doors open to the rear patio, complementing the room's elaborate plasterwork and grand fireplace. A full bar, crafted from cherry & burled walnut, and leaded glass, seamlessly connects to the great room, featuring a stunning cast stone-style fireplace and bronze chandelier. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering cream and glass-paneled cabinetry, granite countertops, a travertine backsplash, and oversized islands—one for prep and another with a bar top. The adjacent breakfast room, adorned with ornate moldings and a chandelier, opens to a family room with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and direct access to the rear patio. A butler’s pantry, a formal powder room with gilded detailing, and a spacious laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, the grand hall features French doors leading to an expansive rooftop terrace. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with plush new carpeting, a gas fireplace with a marble-style surround, and two private balconies. Dual walk-in closets feature custom wood organizers and granite countertops, while the spa-inspired primary bath boasts a jetted soaking tub, a steam shower with mosaic accents, and Jerusalem Gold limestone finishes. Four additional ensuite bedrooms offer high-end appointments, each with crown moldings, plush carpeting, and walk-in closets. The lower level is designed for entertainment, with a full bar, a recreation room, a game room with patio access, a gym, and a private sixth bedroom with an ensuite bath. A cedar closet, a storage room with epoxy flooring, and a den/ maids quarters provide additional comfort. The exterior is a resort-like retreat, featuring an expansive stone terrace, a 50' x 25' heated pool with an electronic retractable cover, a glass stone firepit, and a cascading stone waterfall pond. The meticulously landscaped rear gardens offer lush greenery, mature trees, and vibrant seasonal plantings, creating a private oasis. Winding pathways lead to intimate seating areas, while tiered retaining walls with ambient lighting enhance the beauty of the outdoor space. A flagstone patio courtyard off the great room provides additional privacy, framed by latticework and gates leading to the pool deck and service driveway. The four-car garage includes built-in storage, climate control, and an electric vehicle charging outlet. A whole-house generator and a newer seven-zone HVAC system ensure year-round comfort. This estate is a rare offering, seamlessly blending old-world grandeur with modern luxury in an unparalleled setting.
