Sited proudly on a wonderful half acre corner lot in the heart of Franklin Park, pristine landscaping and hardscaping set the tone for this farmhouse style home offering 6400+/- square feet on four finished levels.  This house features a 3 car garage with lovely front and rear porches. Custom millwork, updated lighting, fresh paint and abundant natural light do nothing but amplify this home’s ideal and thoughtful floorplan. The formal foyer is centered between a formal living room and dining room. The central stair has a dual direction landing with access from the kitchen and the foyer. The dining room opens to a large butler’s pantry with a massive walk-through pantry providing access to the mudroom. A comfortable and gracious open family room with fireplace and breakfast room are open to the bright kitchen which is generously equipped with custom cabinetry, honed granite counters, and appliances fit for a gourmet chef.  Access to the screen porch and patio with a trellis is either from the family room or the breakfast room.  The side mudroom entrance lends easy access to the casual spaces of the home.   The second level provides an expansive primary suite that offers a sitting room with tray ceiling and wet bar, two walk-in closets with custom cabinetry, and generous ensuite bathroom a perfect space for private relaxation. The upper foyer accents this home’s curated modern conveniences, with access to a large loft level that also doubles as an additional bedroom with full bath. On the main bedroom level, ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets are provided for all three secondary bedrooms. A laundry room and large office space with built-ins completes this level.   The private backyard retreat features landscape lighting, fabulous screen porch, irrigation, and outdoor entertaining areas. Enveloped by mature trees and lush landscape by Land Art, the patio with trellis adds to the appeal.   The walk-out lower level adds the final touch to the amenities, with a 750+ bottle wine cellar, gym and wet bar. The sixth bedroom and another bath complete this level along with an ample storage room.  New exterior paint was completed last year, the heating and air conditioning systems were replaced on the first and second floors,  and a whole house generator was added in 2012.   Franklin Park is 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 the Downtown McLean and Downtown Arlington have to offer. It is ideally situated just minutes to the George Washington Parkway, I-66, Tyson's Corner, and the Capital Beltway.
