prominently situated in one of the town's most prestigious locations, the property sits on a full-block depth lot, merely blocks from the potomac river. brick retaining walls and custom ironwork welcome passersby and offer two entries toward this stately, newly repointed, brick residence. a grand double deck covered porch graces the original front door, flanked w. leaded glass sidelights, providing entry to a spacious central entrance hall running from the front to the rear addition of the home.
one is immediately taken by the proportions + attention to detail found in the refurbished and restored custom millwork and plasterwork, hallmarks of this grand estate. to the left of the entry is an impressive drawing room showcasing custom window treatments for the 3 door-sized windows, as well as the first of the home's 9 fireplaces. pocket doors lead to a sun-filled library w. floor-to-ceiling custom shelves + cabinetry including an awesome wet bar w. a full sink + dishwasher. a back hall offers access to one of the home’s luxuriously renovated full baths. the opposite side of the central axis hall features a front formal living room + a breathtaking dining room boasting custom mural wall coverings depicting pastoral scenes of the potomac river as well as a beautiful coffered ceiling. a new addition encompasses the rear of the home and provides another contemporary update to this historic home w. a massive gourmet kitchen outfitted w. custom cabinetry, a deep sink, quartz countertops, chevron tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a large central island. this kitchen offers a space for informal dining and also a spacious family room, a walk-in butler pantry w. deep sink, and a custom built-in appliances pantry. a door leads from the family room to an expansive paver stone patio w. multiple seating areas, a covered pavilion, and a serene garden featuring an ancient tulip magnolia tree and multiple boxwoods. beyond the garden gate is the lawn and brick lead walk to a separate two-car garage w. new doors and an upper level for future expansion/storage. access from a back street offers parking for several more cars.
