About this home
Welcome to a truly exceptional, fully reimagined estate set on a private half-acre in the heart of Bannockburn Estates. Spanning over 7,300 square feet across four impeccably designed levels, this rare offering is a seamless expression of architectural presence, elevated design, and resort-caliber living. A painted brick exterior, slate roof, and two striking turrets establish a sense of timeless distinction—an arrival that feels both grand and enduring.
With 5 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, and a dedicated office, the home is thoughtfully composed for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. Gracious proportions, curated materials, and a refined sense of flow create an environment that is as functional as it is beautiful, where each space unfolds with intention.
The kitchen is a study in precision and performance—anchored by a full suite of Miele appliances, including built-in espresso and steam systems—paired with custom Bulthaup cabinetry that delivers a clean, architectural aesthetic. Leathered stone surfaces introduce warmth and tactile depth, while a Wolf gas range with integrated griddle ensures professional-grade capability. Every detail has been considered, resulting in a space that feels both effortless and exacting.
The main level balances scale with intimacy. A formal dining room and elegant sitting room—each centered around a fireplace—set the tone for refined gatherings, while designer wall coverings and bespoke lighting lend richness throughout. A dedicated music room and private office provide moments of creativity and retreat. The home’s architectural character reveals itself in the circular turret foyer and the rear circular sitting room, where natural light enhances the home’s sculptural quality.
Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms offer exceptional comfort and privacy, anchored by a remarkable primary suite that lives as a true sanctuary. Multiple Poliform closets provide tailored storage, while a private sitting room with fireplace and wet bar creates an intimate, residential retreat within the home. The 2023 primary bath, designed by acclaimed DC designer Joe Ireland, is both serene and striking—featuring a sculptural soaking tub set within the turret, fluted wood detailing, and a spa-inspired atmosphere that elevates the everyday.
Outdoors, the experience is equally compelling. Backing to mature trees, the grounds unfold into a private retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining—featuring an infinity-edge pool with waterfall and hot tub, a stone-built Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen with integrated grill and Green Egg, and a full sport court. Retractable awnings extend the usability of the outdoor spaces, while irrigated garden beds add both beauty and purpose. A heated circular driveway and attached two-car garage with EV charging ensure ease in every season.
Inside, hydronic heated floors run throughout, complemented by a fully integrated smart home system controlling lighting, shades, and audio/visual as well as a whole house generator.
The walk-out lower level continues the home’s lifestyle offering with a spacious recreation room, dedicated gym, golf simulator-ready space, full bath, and two temperature-controlled wine cellars—bringing both leisure and function into perfect alignment.
Set among Bannockburn’s tree-lined streets and established estate homes, the location offers proximity to top-ranked schools, country clubs, parks, and major commuter routes—while preserving a sense of privacy and calm that feels worlds away.
A residence of this scale and caliber is rarely available—thoughtfully executed, architecturally distinctive, and truly exceptional....
