From the moment you approach, the home’s signature diamond-paned windows hint at its rich architectural heritage. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a stunning interplay of classic craftsmanship and contemporary sophistication, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
The main level exudes understated grandeur with soaring 9+ foot ceilings and sunlit spaces throughout. The formal living room, anchored by a stately wood-burning fireplace and framed by oversized windows, French doors that lead to a flagstone patio with a wood-burning fireplace, is equally suited for intimate evenings or lively gatherings. The heart of the home is the newly reimagined kitchen—crafted in 2023 by renowned architect Dale Overmyer and builder John Cecchi. Featuring premium finishes and an effortless flow into the family and dining areas, and an outdoor patio overlooking the expansive swimming pool, this space is as functional as it is beautiful, designed to inspire connection and warmth.
The primary suite is a private retreat of unparalleled comfort. With its own wood-burning fireplace, dual walk-in and cedar closets, and a spa-like bath, it offers a haven for relaxation. The dual-sided bathroom is flooded with natural light from a skylight above the jetted soaking tub and includes private vanities, 2 separate water closets, and a steam shower.
Upstairs, five unique bedrooms provide a wealth of possibilities. Two of the bedrooms share a bath, ideal for family living, while another features a private en suite. The Parisian-style suite, with its own full bath, offers a serene space for long-term guests, an au pair, or creative pursuits.
The lower level is a self-contained living area with its own private entrance, second kitchen, bedroom, recreation room, and two full baths. Whether it serves as an in-law suite, home gym, or creative studio, this flexible space adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle.
Step outside, and the home transforms into a private oasis. French doors open to a spacious deck with a built-in grill and serene, tree-lined views—perfect for hosting or relaxing. The professionally landscaped, fully fenced yard is a haven of tranquility, complete with irrigation, landscape lighting, and a heated pool with a remote-controlled cover. A custom stone patio with a wood-burning fireplace invites cozy evenings under the stars.
Additional highlights include a billiard room/library, built-in Sonos sound system, separate audio/visual room, dual laundry facilities, two garages, and a Ring security system—all situated on an expansive .33-acre lot.
Located in the coveted Spring Valley community, this home offers the best of both worlds: the peace of suburban living with the convenience of urban access. Enjoy weekend brunches in the Palisades, quick commutes to downtown DC or Tysons, and scenic strolls through nearby parks and trails.
This is more than a house—it’s a celebration of history and modernity, where every space tells a story of thoughtful design, timeless elegance, and a life well-lived.
