This 11,000 square-foot colonial masterpiece is located in the exclusive Founders Ridge and The Reserve in McLean—an elite neighborhood comprised of 175 high-end homes. The property features a precast circular driveway, a four-car silo garage, and a sprawling veranda with slate flooring overlooking a beautifully landscaped 1-acre lot. The backyard is a private oasis, complete with a pool, fire pit, fountains, patio, and a quaint beach area perfect for relaxing or playing beach volleyball.<br />

Entering through a custom-made, oval-shaped cherry front door, you are greeted by a grand marble foyer and a striking circular staircase. The home boasts natural cherry wood and hardwood flooring throughout, including on the stairs. The main level includes an embassy-sized dining room and a formal living room, both adorned with mason fireplaces featuring precast mantles. Additional first-floor amenities include a powder room, a library that opens to the back patio, a two-story family room, and an exceptional custom kitchen with a butcher block center island, inset cabinets, and custom knobs. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sunlit morning room, a butler’s pantry equipped with a wine chiller and sink, a spacious mudroom, a large laundry room, a family bathroom, and an expansive walk-in pantry.<br />

The upper level houses three secondary bedrooms, one of which is a private suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, while the other two share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The luxurious primary suite features a sitting room with a fireplace, a private veranda, two vast closets, and an opulent bathroom with a waterfall tub and a doorless shower. This level also provides access to a large room currently used as a home office/boardroom with garage access, and it could also serve as an exercise room or additional living space. From here, stairs lead up to a fourth-level suite, which includes two bedrooms or office spaces, a kids' playroom, and a full bathroom.<br />

The lower level is a fully above-ground, walkout space featuring a custom-made bar with a view into the wine cellar, a large recreational room with a fireplace, a media room, and an exercise room. All these spaces open out to a covered veranda and extend to a serene area perfect for lounging, tanning by the pool, or sitting by a fire pit with a waterfall feature. This property offers an absolute oasis in the heart of a beautiful gated community. The neighborhood hosts events at the gatehouse for children during birthday parties and holiday parties, fostering a close-knit community atmosphere where children and families connect and thrive together. |
