Tucked discreetly behind an arched gate and approached by a half-mile avenue of trees, this 13.5-acre estate perfectly embodies the grandeur of French Chateau living. A collaboration between architect John Ike, designer Geoffrey Bradfield, and Horizon Builders, the main house sits on a knoll with unobstructed Potomac River views. Wrapped in limestone with a slate Mansard roof, the primary residence features every hallmark of the iconic style. Lavish marble, mahogany, and intricate moldings adorn the interior, integrating panoramic views seamlessly. The 25,000 square foot interior boasts entertainment-sized rooms, a commercial-grade kitchen, and a theater. A walk-out lower level includes a clubroom, theater, and wine room. The main house offers comfort with 4 bedroom suites, a breakfast room, and a heated pool. The owner's suite features two baths, dressing rooms, and a home library. Additionally, a thoughtfully designed three-level guesthouse with eleven garage bays presents the ultimate flexibility for the new owner. This space can effortlessly transform into a showroom-style space for automobiles or host glamorous black-tie galas. An additional bay houses a catering kitchen, while a spiral staircase leads to the upper level of the guesthouse, offering a spacious gathering room with a fireplace, two ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen, and a powder room. A staff house, golf cart path, and security features ensure privacy at this Estate. The transfer of title of this magnificent, once-in-a-lifetime property doesn't just extend to its new owner but will have an immeasurable impact far outside its gates. The proceeds from the sale will be donated directly to the research and work of The American Cancer Society. With every luxury of modern living, The Estate at River's Edge is truly like no other.
