About this home
Located in exclusive Arcturus on the Potomac, this timeless masterpiece, with seasonal
views of the Potomac River on three levels, is a testament to the enduring power of
simplicity and function with spaces created to age gracefully and remain relevant
through the years. With thoughtful focus on the New Traditional Design aesthetic, the
original design aesthetic features of classic, high-quality and understated elegance have
been enhanced by the re-design in 2011 by international award-winning interior
designer, Darryl Carter. Once a part of George Washington’s farm, this private haven
includes only 15 homes. All built in different eras with lots of land and tall trees, Arcturus
on the Potomac has the extra benefit of sharing a private Potomac River waterfront
park.
With an eastern water view from the beautifully landscaped front yard and private rear
yard with retractable awning protecting the huge deck, one can enjoy nature and one’s
friends and family on the peaceful .7-acre lot. The multitude of upgrades and highlights
to the home include custom millwork and cabinetry – including recessed doors
throughout and an elegant staircase. Darryl Carter’s aesthetics include a signature living
room fireplace with stone-hearth treatment, built-in shelving with reclaimed wood and a
gorgeous library/dining room with an antique Swedish candle chandelier and reclaimed
wood ceiling beams. The family room seamlessly flows into the custom chef’s kitchen
with island featuring a unique retractable wood insert table. A convenient mudroom with built-in cabinetry and a powder room complete the picture. The bright lower-level family room leads to the
handsome new wine cellar of unfinished redwood featuring a 1230 bottle capacity,
countertop and self-contained cooling system.
The upper levels include a deluxe primary suite with large walk-in closet and a to-die-for
luxury bath as well as four additional large bedrooms serviced by two beautiful baths
and excessive closet space. There is a separate two-car garage with a large, finished
studio above for work, exercise or play!
This exceptional opportunity is located adjacent to the American Horticultural Society off
the scenic George Washington Parkway. Enjoy a myriad of exercise and recreational
activities as well as close proximity to Old Town, George Washington’s Mount Vernon
estate, National Harbor, Crystal City, Amazon’s HQ2 as well as Reagan National Airport,
Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon, Washington, DC and I495 and I95. Note: Measurements may not be accurate. Updated photography will be included with the Active status of the listing.
