Incredible 5 BR/7BA classic European-inspired country estate surrounded by nearly 7 acres of mature trees, open grassland, and Pimmit Run – which meanders through the property on its way to the Potomac River. This spectacular home and separate-entry guest quarters (with a private, sun-filled lounge) are unparalleled in their detail, craftsmanship, and artistry. Upon entering through the natural stone archway, you sense the harmonious nature of the home’s interior with its surroundings, which have been designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. The kitchen is adorned with luxury features including an AGA Legacy 6-burner cast iron cooktop and range with pot faucet, granite counters, copper-hammered farm sinks and backsplash, and a stone turret with a built-in circular banquette for dining. Throughout the home, wrought iron chandeliers, designed by the legendary Kim Harper, illuminate the way and accentuate the home’s warmth. There are 7 stone fireplaces throughout the home, including on the expansive covered porch that leads to outside dining under a wisteria-covered portico. Sliding French doors on both sides of the living, dining, and family rooms open to the patio and deck, enhancing the flow and creating an entertainment mecca. Each of the 4 sumptuous bedrooms have a full bath and enjoy the sight/sound of Pimmit Run. The 5th BR is nestled amongst the treetops (oak, maple, gum, magnolia, dogwood, and Eastern redbird) and overlooks the enchanted hillside of lush ferns. The Master BR suite has two large walk-in closets (one with a window), and a spa bath spilling onto a large balcony. Here, one can sip coffee in the morning and enjoy the hummingbirds that happily populate the property. The lower level offers a full bar, wine cellar, banquette dining in the turret, and entertainment/exercise areas – complete with a ground-level exit to the greenery that awaits. All doors, beams, and trim are made of Knotty Alder wood from Oregon, and wide plank oak floors run throughout. Sonos speakers are installed on every level, and the entire house is pre-wired for a security system. New upstairs HVAC 2020. Commuter’s dream – 9 minutes to DC!
