Manor

Exquisite English country manor home with wonderful grounds featuring new infinity POOL! Designed by architect David Newman and built by Brendan O'Neill in 2003, the property is located on the incomparable Red Barn Lane, an exclusive enclave of grand stone homes set on lovely 2+ acre lots with stunning views of the rolling Potomac countryside. A cobblestone drive leads to this home's impressive exterior featuring stone and stucco construction, cedar siding, leaded glass windows, a grand entry door and covered breezeway wrapping around to the detached 3-car garage. The delightful interior offers a wonderful flow with large light-filled rooms, random width pine flooring, soaring ceilings, roughhewn ceiling beams, fine panelling and trim work, and multiple fireplaces, on 7,590 square feet of finished space. Every room offers views of the landscaped setting, the new infinity pool and spa, columned and walled boxwood gardens, and sprawling lawn leading to distant trees and stream. The gourmet kitchen at the center of the home offers a large island, six-burner commercial-grade stove, hand painted Italian tiles, and opens to the breakfast room which extends through French doors to an enclosed stone patio and garden. The family room with stone fireplace opens to the terrace spanning the rear of the house. The office or living room has exquisite chestnut-hued panelling, and the lovely large dining room sparkles along with its crystal chandelier. A side entry to the home brings one to a generous garden/mudroom with sink and shelving, sitting area, and full bath for bathers or pets. Upstairs, the owner's suite offers a gorgeous sitting room/office and large private owner's bath. Three additional large bedrooms are served by two generous bathrooms and laundry. The newly finished lower level of the house provides an extra bedroom and full bath, a living area, recreation room, gym and media room. This home provides a luxurious setting for quiet living - with the ability to entertain indoors and out - in the most tasteful and appealing of indoor and outdoor spaces!
