About this home
For those looking to Right-Size in style, this colonial offers an inviting, manageable layout paired with gracious entertaining spaces. Two generous gathering rooms and a fireplace-lit dining room create the perfect backdrop for hosting or unwinding close to everything DC has to offer.
Where location is the ultimate luxury, this home sits in The Dogwoods—one of McLean’s most coveted neighborhoods—just one stoplight from the DC line and offering unrivaled access to downtown McLean, Tysons, Bethesda, the GW Parkway, Reagan National Airport, and more.
Perched proudly on a terraced hill, the residence stands apart with the presence and grace of a distinguished estate. While many homes in the neighborhood were built in the same era, this one feels like the original—its elevated setting, expanded layout, and architectural character make it truly incomparable.
The main level is both expansive and elegant, beginning with a grand living room anchored by a stone fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. The formal dining room makes its own statement with a second fireplace and built-in shelving—ideal for unforgettable gatherings. A stunning family room with cathedral ceilings and a third fireplace offers warmth, volume, and a beautiful connection to the serene outdoor spaces. Every main-level room—including the living room, dining room and family room—opens through French doors to the rear courtyard, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor flow. Additional main-level highlights include a charming breakfast room, dedicated laundry room, two powder rooms, and garage access.
The kitchen captures relaxing views of the backyard and blends function with charm, complemented by its cozy adjoining breakfast room. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms. The primary suite features walls of windows, a sitting area, and generous closet space. The primary bath offers an oversized tub, walk-in shower, and incredible potential for a fresh, modern redesign. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpeting on the upper level.
The partially finished lower level combines character with versatility, offering rich knotty-wood paneling, custom built-in shelving with a dedicated work station, and a flexible bonus room perfect for a private gym, studio, or hobby space. A large utility/storage room includes a Bilco door for discreet exterior access—ideal for storage or contractor entry.
Outside, the private flagstone courtyard is a true sanctuary, bordered by lush landscaping and centered around a gracefully shaped, heated swimming pool. With the charm of a Cotswold retreat, this outdoor haven feels like a hidden treasure—perfect for quiet moments or lively entertaining.
A rare opportunity for those who value both sophistication and convenience. A location—and a home—where nothing else compares.
