Timeless French country elegance, masterful design and a McLean best address on more than one acre. It’s a dazzling first impression that begins on the approach along Corbin Court with stately homes lining the way to the end of the cul-de-sac and a long private driveway entrance to this 5 bedroom custom home with 10 foot ceilings. The residence is slightly elevated just beyond the lush front lawn which creates powerful imagery before you even make it through the imported mahogany doorway. A double height foyer features French limestone floors accented by a fossil inlay. It’s thoughtfully designed to create an effortless flow from room to room. A formal living room is highlighted by a wood burning fireplace. The dining room is serviced by an oversized butlers pantry with wine chiller. A bay of windows floods the study with natural light. The great room featuring a 10 foot stone fireplace runs along the full width of the home with floor to ceiling views of the rear grounds and a sprawling stone terrace. A gourmet kitchen is built for the home chef and large scale entertaining with an eat in center island, prep sink, rich designer cabinetry, top of the line appliances, farm sink, walk in pantry and casual kitchen dining for more than 12. The main level also features a dish room, 2 powder rooms, large mud room and laundry room with a dog wash shower.
A curved staircase with iron spindles is highlighted by an oversized French chandelier. The second level is designed with 4 bedrooms including a sweeping primary suite with a sitting room featuring a fireplace and large private deck. The primary bathroom is reminiscent of a five star spa retreat. A soaking tub and oversized shower are connected by a zen stone inlay. The bathroom suite includes two vanities, two water closets, large walk-in closet and a second full laundry room. The impressive ceiling height is carried through on the lower level. It’s an open entertaining floor plan with abundant fireside seating, kitchenette and wet bar, built in wine storage, dedicated dining, billiards room, theater room with tiered seating, gym, another full bedroom and bathroom plus a walk out to a large sunken stone patio. The quality of build well exceeds the expected with a 75 year + architectural shingle roof and a protective three coat hard stucco facade. It’s a total luxury package with a long list of ‘must haves’ for modern living at the highest level combined with a prestigious McLean location inside the Capital Beltway.
