NO SHOWINGS FROM NOON ON DECEMBER 23RD THROUGH DECEMBER 25TH. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind estate! This property is situated on nearly two wooded acres - all inside the beltway. An entertainer's dream, the property features a private tennis court and pool overlooking an expansive backyard with lush landscaping - you'll get away without going away. Offering unparalleled character with modern luxuries, the property stands out from the minute you step inside your own private resort - truly a home for all seasons. After getting its start as a log cabin in the 1800's, the property has only had three owners. Take a break from virtual schooling or working from home to play a round of tennis, take a dip in the pool, or walk along the tranquil creek. This charming 4 Bedroom, 4 Full Bath, 2 Half Bath property includes an in-ground heated swimming pool, tennis court, 3-car garage, deck, indoor and outdoor sound system, and beautiful, lush landscaping, making it a perfect, private oasis. From the moment you step into the welcoming foyer you will be struck by the craftsmanship of the detailed molding & trim throughout. The dining room features an original mural, painted by muralist Virginia Jacobs McLaughlin, known for her work at Mt. Vernon and other historic sites. The updated 2-story, beamed kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring gleaming granite counter tops, a center island, and two cozy window seats. You would never know that it was once a log cabin. Enjoy entertaining in the massive family room with built-in cherry cabinetry, and coffered ceiling including a wet bar and floor-to-ceiling custom windows. The family room opens onto a three-season porch that overlooks the pool and tennis court with steps out to the magnificent outdoor deck and living spaces. In the winter, cozy up to a fire in the wood-burning fireplace with a marble hearth. Or retreat upstairs to the master suite featuring a separate sitting area with a three-sided gas fireplace, private balcony, his and hers custom closets, luxurious bath with dual vanities, limestone flooring and walls, jacuzzi tub, glass-enclosed shower, and lovely built-in cabinetry. In addition to the master suite, you'll find two more light-filled large bedrooms with en-suite full baths and custom closets. An additional bonus room situated between them serves as the perfect home office. The finished lower level includes a spacious bedroom with attached full bath and entry to the outside, a recreation room, a second half bath, a central room, and the laundry room. This extraordinary home is truly a suburban paradise, yet conveniently located with easy access to 495, 395, Rt. 50 and Rt. 66.
