About this 5 bedroom 7 bath house

Sophistication abounds in this 6.75-acre unique property which has been lovingly maintained since an earlier renovation. At the end of a private road, a mile in from Georgetown Pike, this white, stucco, Colonial Revival five bedroom home offers beautiful views of its rolling acreage, bordered on one side by a stream and all around by trees. The main house, with four bedrooms, has excellent flow for everyday living and entertaining and provides multiple accesses to the tranquil outdoor spaces, which include a screened-in porch, a serene flagstone patio and a stone walled side garden with enchanting fountain and intimate sitting area. The interior features high ceilings and crown moldings, a comfortable living room with wood burning fireplace, formal dining room, inviting library with custom built-ins and wood burning fireplace, a powder room, an eat-in chef’s kitchen with gas range and adjoining wet bar with a full sized wine refrigerator, and a cozy office nook. The footprint was expanded in 2007 with the addition of an enclosed sunroom with gas fireplace and wonderful views. A versatile space that could be a first-floor bedroom, office or family room along with a full bath and under-counter laundry complete this floor. The upper level includes a bedroom with walk-in closet, ensuite bath and french doors leading to the remodeled upper deck from which to enjoy spectacular sunsets filtered through the trees. This level also contains two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and a wonderful den with gas fireplace, attractive built-ins and french doors opening onto the deck. The distinctive primary suite consists of a spacious bedroom with tasteful sitting area and juliet balconies, two ample sized walk-in closets and two bathrooms, one with an Aquatic whirlpool tub. The carriage house is attached to the main house via an enclosed, heated breezeway and consists of a climate controlled three-car garage and the addition of a self contained in-law suite on the second floor. The approximately 1100 sf apartment is accessed via elevator or exterior stairs and comfortably includes a living area with storage, a bright kitchen, bedroom, full bath and laundry. The space is perfect for multigenerational families and adds even more versatility to the property. Separate from the house is a former stable, now converted into a heated four-car garage and a potting shed with sink and counters. This building abuts a fenced-in garden with raised, irrigated stone-walled flower and vegetable beds. The well designed space could be converted back into a barn, turned into a pool with pool house, or become a game room. The possibilities are endless and exciting. This very special home includes a whole house generator, a picturesque tree-lined gravel drive that creates a welcoming entrance, mature landscaping, and horse trails. Some of the upgrades are new roof (2022), on demand hot water heater (2020), new washer and dryer (2023), renovated deck and patio (2019). This jewel of a property in the treasured Cornwell Farm neighborhood has convenient access to the town of Great Falls, the wonders of Great Falls National Park, and Washington DC’s cosmopolitan and cultural offerings.
