Property Description
Nestled in the coveted Chain Bridge Forest neighborhood, this timeless McLean residence offers an exceptional blend of classic European architecture and thoughtful updates. Conveniently located just one stoplight from Washington, DC. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, 4 fireplaces, and a 2-car garage, the home has been meticulously maintained and enhanced over time with a sunroom addition, garage expansion, heated pool installation, and numerous recent improvements throughout. A rare 100-year slate roof, whole-house generator (2022), refinished hardwood floors (2023), and fresh interior paint (2022) add lasting value and peace of mind. A dramatic double-door entry opens to an elegant foyer with black-and-white checkered tile floors, iron stair railings, wainscoting, and detailed millwork. The formal living room showcases marble fireplace surrounds, custom built-ins, French casement windows with Juliet balconies, and beautiful brass-accented French doors. The soaring two-story dining room creates a striking setting for entertaining, while the remodeled 2025 sunroom offers custom built-ins, a marble bench, bay window, and seamless access to the outdoor deck. The kitchen renovated in 2018 blends timeless style and functionality with dark cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, island seating, and a charming breakfast area with a fireplace and patio access. Spacious family and recreation rooms provide flexible gathering spaces across multiple levels, including a lower-level wet bar, wood stove, and walk-out access to the backyard retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite features abundant natural light, multiple closets including a walk-in closet, and an updated bath with new vanity elements in 2026. Additional bedrooms offer hardwood floors, crown molding, and updated finishes, while a stunning study/optional fourth bedroom impresses with wood-beamed ceilings, tongue-and-groove walls, wet bar, fireplace, and French doors leading to a balcony rebuilt in 2026. Outside, the private backyard oasis is designed for year-round enjoyment with a flagstone patio, wooden deck, mature landscaping, and extensive exterior improvements including rebuilt balconies, replaced gutters, and slate roof maintenance completed in 2026. Ideally located near parks, top-ranked schools, Chesterbrook Shopping Center, downtown McLean, Tysons, the GW Parkway, and both Reagan and Dulles airports, this distinguished property combines refined living with extraordinary convenience in one of McLean's most sought-after neighborhoods.
