Description
Welcome to 8643 Mount Vernon Highway, a hidden oasis perched on a hilltop overlooking a beautifully landscaped front yard with tiered stone walls on the original property of General Washington’s Mount Vernon. This classic estate home is elegant and grand, yet invites a comfortable, relaxed lifestyle. Whether you are entertaining a big group or having an intimate dinner for two, this property has the space and features to be home for your life memories. The main level sets the tone with its soaring two-story foyer featuring a stunning Oxford bell lantern chandelier and majestic staircase. The 10-foot ceilings along with the generous room sizes set this prestigious home apart from traditional Mount Vernon homes. The formal living room with its cozy gas fireplace makes laid-back entertaining easy as it flows into the formal dining room. The chef-inspired kitchen is the heart of the home with its high-end appliances, including: a Wolf 48” range, granite countertops, farm sink, and a large island. This eat-in kitchen is filled with natural light and overlooks a spectacular slate patio and a gas-linked outdoor grill with ample countertop space. From the kitchen, drift into the family room that is outfitted with rattan shades and a lovely gas fireplace. Also on this level is a newly renovated laundry and mud room with custom cabinets that is accessible from the 2-car garage. Working from home is made easy with a spacious office overlooking the front gardens. Moving upstairs, the primary owner’s suite is a true sanctuary offering an expansive bedroom with a remote-controlled gas fireplace. It includes a massive walk-in-closet custom designed by California Closets, and a spa bath that offers dual vanities, a deep jacuzzi air tub, an oversized, walk-in shower, and a heated floor for your ultimate comfort. There is also another full washer and dryer, additional closet, and a cozy reading nook in this suite. Also on this level are three more spacious bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom and an additional hallway bathroom. The lower level of this amazing home boasts a custom, one-of-a-kind retreat space designed to delight the senses. The owner’s vision was to inspire visitors to “look, listen and taste.” The feast for the senses starts with a full movie theatre experience complete with eight reclining seats, 100-inch viewing screen, 7-speaker surround sound and all the advanced technology needed to stream or Blu-ray your favorite movies or sporting events. The second sensory experience is located in main “listening room” that offers additional high quality in-ceiling speakers for a music experience built for entertaining. This space also boasts a complete bar, clear ice icemaker, beverage refrigerator, and full dishwasher. Next, a “tasting room” awaits you and is complete with a temperature-controlled wine cellar with a 650-bottle capacity adjacent to a cozy nook for a place to relax with your favorite glass of wine. The entire space is framed and accented with spectacular hand-hewn barn wood that hails from an actual barn in Ohio and incredible stone work. Out the oversized sliding doors, is a literal backyard paradise where you will want to spend all of your time spring through fall. Whether it’s gathering around the magnificent field stone fireplace under the pergola to enjoy a crackling fire, or taking a dip in the custom, heated, built-in pool, it’s easy to enjoy the serenity of the backyard landscape. The expansive patio, which features a 2-zone sound system and custom lighting, allows for several areas of comfortable seating, including space for multiple dining tables, an enclave for lounge chairs, and an ideal setting for adirondack chairs situated around a firepit. This sprawling setting is perfect for lawn games and an oasis for avid gardeners. Whether celebrating a special event or enjoying a peaceful moment with your favorite book, this tranquil, private backyard will not disappoint.
