About this House

Private 4+ acre estate designed by renowned architect John Neufeld, offering over 12,000 sqft of refined living space and two attached garages with parking for four. A grand, gated entrance leads to the stately residence set back from the road, with an impressive columned façade and elegant oversized wood doors that open into a soaring 2-story marble foyer. From the moment you step inside, your eye is drawn straight through to the rear wall of windows showcasing gorgeous views of the grounds—emphasizing the estate’s privacy and scenic surroundings. Custom craftsmanship is evident throughout, from iron balustrades and intricate crown and wall moldings to imported Italian marble. The main-level primary wing is a true retreat, featuring two oversized custom walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with Italian marble floors, dual vanities, an Italian marble walk-in shower with four shower heads, a soaking tub, and a private water closet. The upper level offers four additional bedrooms and three full baths, including two en-suites. Juliet balconies and Italian marble baths elevate the space and provide excellent flexibility for guests or family living. At the heart of the home, the dramatic living room impresses with a 20-foot ceiling, expansive wall of windows, gas marble fireplace, and beautiful picture-frame moldings. A handsome main-level office and a comfortable family room with a marble wood-burning fireplace create inviting spaces for everyday living. The formal dining room with French doors is ideal for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen is perfectly equipped for both chefs and home cooks, featuring a Thermador 6-burner + grill gas cooktop, oversized Sub-Zero refrigerator, double wall ovens, built-in microwave, large center island with prep sink, and a spacious breakfast room that opens to the rear patio. Dual staircases to both the upper and lower levels, with the lower level offering an exceptional opportunity—fully framed with a plumbing rough-in, large bay window, walk-out rear access, and a footprint that can accommodate anything you envision: recreation spaces, a home theater, fitness center, guest suite—the possibilities are endless. Two side-loading garages open into a generous mudroom with a separate entry, laundry area, workstation, abundant storage, coat closet, and an oversized pantry. Additional parking is plentiful, with both a side driveway and a circular driveway. 4-zoned HVAC. Every room offers serene views of the stunning property. This estate is a true Potomac masterpiece!

I cannot walk to any of these areas but it’s a short 10-15min drive. They have beautiful hiking trails and beautiful places to live and great school districts "
