Description
This 19th century classic, with a mature blend of private and expansive views, has been completely overhauled with top of the line details and a floor plan unique unto itself. At the list price, the home conveys on 1/4 acre. Adjacent lot is also for sale (subject to final subdivision) and is 10,000 ft, buildable by right; or buy it for a future expansive estate… pool, guest house, garage, etc. We have drawings, showing some options. This home (“The Birchland”) is an entertainers paradise. One thread you will notice as you walk through are the thoughtful details and use of natural elements. Whether it’s the rooftop terrace (beautiful sunsets) drenched in stone and ipe wood, the totally cool basement whiskey bar with exposed concrete, brick and wood, the scullery/pass through to an entertainer’s courtyard, or the chef-inspired kitchen and living room, you’ll have spaces for all occasions and no matter where- classic design, thoughtful details, natural materials and history surround you. 6 beds (4 on same level) / 6.5 baths. Owners suite is drenched in southwestern light with all the accoutrements…. spa bath with steam shower, separate 8’ vanities, two closets, Samsung Frame TV, linear fireplace, sitting room, vaulted/beam wood ceiling, even its own thermostat. A flex work space/laundry on 2nd level with front balcony access. And there are options for the aging in place and/or multi-generational families, too. Beyond the tangible and livability, there is also some beautiful history to this home. Dating back to a land grant by Lord Fairfax, only four families have owned this property. It has been the headquarters for a Civil War general, home to the historic Spy Tree and was built to its current mass in 1898 using much of the material reclaimed from the inaugural stand for President McKinley. Please see documents tab for more history. And please, come be our guests and tour this beautiful unicorn of a home! It exudes flexibility, tranquility, authenticity and location.
