Description

Expect the unexpected in this beautiful gem that calls you home. Enter the home by walking through the manicured property from the brick walkway to the covered porch entrance and be greeted by a stunning 2 story foyer. Boasting wonderful natural light through out the house, you will find the office study to your right with built in book shelves. On the other side of the foyer is a step down to a spacious living room with soaring cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace surrounded by a lovely mantel. The high quality plantation shutters that you see here will be echoed through out the home. From the living room, the space brings you to the formal dining room with direct views the large yard that is surrounded by woods that will not be developed. This space is great for holiday meals, and can be suited for either large or intimate gatherings. Next enter into the kitchen that has all the bells and whistles that you could want with out feeling overwhelmed with too much. With just the right amount of luxury you can enjoy your SubZero refrigerator, Viking cooktop, Wolf double ovens and Bosch Dishwasher with a beautiful sink that looks out into the deck & outdoor kitchen. The kitchen opens into the breakfast seating area with a more causal dining area, that also has views into the family room. Family Room is a step down to allow for a feeling of expansion without being overwhelmed. Built in cabinetry is flanked on either side of the gas fireplace. Windows let in natural light, as does the sliding glass door to the AMAZING outdoor living space. A 42' long deck with an outdoor kitchen to swoon for, and multiple seating areas, you can relax, entertain or even do yoga either under the pergola with fans for cooling or heaters for cool days or nights.Upstairs the primary bedroom is a true retreat. With vaulted cathedral ceilings as well as tall dormers, the natural lighting here is perfect. The room is large enough for you to have your king sized bed as well as a sitting area by the home's 3rd gas fireplace. But the 2 features that really keep you wanting more are the beautiful bathroom and the large walk in closet. The walk in closet was converted from another full bedroom and now flows seamlessly (though could also be converted back) there is not only built in cabinetry for your clothes & accessories there is an island with drawers for even more storage. The primary bathroom has dual sinks, a jacuzzi style tub, standing shower with multiple shower heads and separate toilet room, in addition to the skylight.Also upstairs are 2 more nice sized bedrooms, each with 2 sets of closets for ample storage. The hall bath with the skylight is large and attractive and there is also a hall linen closet. The lower level has a fantastic rec room with built in speakers, lovely space for watching TV or gaming, there is additional area that could host a table for eating, pool table, ping pong, exercise equipment or more. The lower level wet bar has a beverage fridge as well as bar seating for 3. There is a 4th bedroom that would be great for teens, au pair, in laws, guests or heavy snorers. The full bath on the lower level makes using the lower level bedroom an easy reality. If it's not enough there's a SAUNA for relaxing and detoxing and a wine room as well. There is an electronics closet, but also space for storage as well. The lower level walks out to a paver patio with a built in wood burning fire pit. What can't be overlooked is the extra large hot tub that also doubles as a lap pool! The yard also has an irrigation system. This home has it all - literally!Feeding to Franklin Sherman, Longfellow & Mclean schools. Close proximity to Tysons and downtown Mclean with an easy commute to DC and surrounding areas. DO NOT let this one get away.
