1168 Chain Bridge Rd

Craftsman Style Estate in the Heart of Langley Farms! Few locations in Washington convey the prestige of Old Chain Bridge Road and Langley Farms. This Craftsman style residence is well situated on a corner site on almost a full acre. Typical of the Craftsman style, this estate residence reflects clean lines and natural materials including extensive use of rough-hewn timbers, stone and glass to provide the residence with understated character. A front porch framed by timbers introduces the entry hall which is flanked by a gracious dining room and living room. These gracious rooms both feature granite clad, wood-burning fireplaces which set the perfect stage for this warm and inviting home. Black walnut floors are illuminated by hand-blown light fixtures above, adding to the timeless quality of the residence. Beyond the entry hall, a soaring, 3-story great room is anchored by a majestic fireplace constructed of regional stone. The adjoining kitchen and breakfast room overlook the expansive gardens and pool beyond. The kitchen is a chef’s delight and features professional grade appliances, a built-in pizza oven, and expansive storage. A nearby library and home office provide the ideal environment to work or study from home. Upstairs, an expansive primary suite enters to a sitting room with fireplace, then opens to cathedral ceiling bedroom. The adjoining bath is a spa-like destination with a soaking tub, steam shower, heated floors and a fireplace centered on a magnificent marble wall. Two additional large bedrooms are on this level each with its own bathroom. The third floor includes two spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. One of the rooms comes with a kitchenette, and spans the entire floor making it an ideal for home office, or exercise studio. All four levels of the home are serviced by an elevator. The lower level yields more delightful surprises with a billiards room, theatre, a full kitchen for catering or staff, a generous sixth bedroom and two more full baths. Garage parking for three cars and extensive outdoor parking areas make this an ideal home for entertaining. Downtown McLean, Tysons and Washington, DC are just minutes away.
