Inspiration lives well at Franklin Park’s 1956 Rockingham Street, an incredible collaboration between Bespoke, Brush Arbor, Wellhouse & Co and MV Architects with cabinetry by Studio 37. A crisp and clean new exterior oozes charm and the entire home has been meticulously renovated with the vision, eye for detail, quality of construction, sophisticated appointments and thoughtful design that only a team of this caliber could produce. The result is a complete transformation from neighborhood eyesore to high quality, classic residence, encompassing 6 bedrooms, 5 and 1/2 baths; +/- 6,300SF of interior space on a flat, pool-ready . 53 acre lot. With high-end, custom appointments throughout, the main level's 10 ft ceilings, floorplan and interior design maximizes the use of traditional molding and transitional yet timeless finishes. An abundance of natural light fills the home from nearly every room. The main living space features a library with floor to ceiling built-ins, a formal dining room with unique arched built-in butlers pantries, a gracious formal living room, and a family room with a beautiful cast-stone fireplace. The heart of the home is found in the magazine worthy kitchen with its flawless presentation, premium appliances and walk-in pantry. An inviting openness between the kitchen and living areas allows life to flow easily from one moment to the next. The covered porch offers a view of the spacious, private and lush pool-ready rear yard. More than a bedroom, the Primary Suite with a beautiful tray ceiling serves as a retreat within the retreat and again offers views of the unbelievable rear yard. Thoughtfully designed to ensure privacy and serenity, the oversized closet is across from a luxuriant marble bath, which is complete with a free-standing soaking tub, large shower, a water closet, and dual vanities. Four additional bedrooms with 2 ensuite and 1 jack-and-jill bath and a spacious, adorable laundry/craft room round out the amenities on the upper level. Two car garage with mudroom and lower level recreation room with white oak beams, a bar that’s just right for the space, a bonus room and a sixth bedroom with a large bath and rough-in for a washer and dryer complete the offering. 1956 Rockingham is sited beautifully in the heart of the sought-after community of Franklin Park, known for its lush natural landscape, mature trees, and charming rolling hills, this home offers access to the best of McLean with its close proximity to all that Downtown McLean has to offer, and is also ideally situated just minutes to the George Washington Parkway, 1-66, Tyson’s Corner, and the Capitol Beltway.
