Unparalleled Private Estate in McLean, Virginia | Sotheby's International Realty

[@bradzillabrave6856]

The greatest elegance is always found in simplicity of design. So many people overdo their houses. This house still has beauty and grandeur, but will allow the focus to be on your art and furniture instead of being a distraction. Absolutely stunning.

[@mark3308]

Ian, would you say the design of this home is unparalleled in it’s simplicity?

[@hsmd4533]

I think it’s lacking a soul. Feels very sterile and hotel-ish.

[@rachelrussell1005]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think a sterile looking house is stunning, that's perfectly fine. We're not going to see things the same.

[@overworlder]

Why have a chateau exterior with a minimalist interior? It’s like they forgot (or couldn’t afford) the baroque interior fitout.

[@coronwhite3095]

@@overworlder I love the chateau exterior, but personally I cannot stand the baroque interiors. For that reason, I think this home is perfect!

[@Thomas-dq4cn]

No neighborhoods around the estate and only the trees, and river!! That is awesome!

[@Nolongersurviving]

This is an exquisite home. Bless whomever that lives here with more than enough good health, love, success, prosperity, and money. So they will be able to enjoy their home with no worries.

[@kingLifeWin]

Thank you!

[@keyowilson5695]

What makes this home unique in the DMV is you can find a view of the Potomac River in nearly every part of the home. I also love the simplicity of the interior, while inviting light to infiltrate every space and corner possible.

[@NJ-Cathie]

Agreed - it is a rarity.

This is one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever seen in the DMV. Developer killed it. As a soon to be developer myself, I’ve been unimpressed and bored to tears with most of the spec homes that hit luxury markets around the country. But this…this is what I would build if I made Northern Virginia my market. Absolutely nailed it - not understated nor overdone. Feels like a home still. Great bones to work with. Amazing and creative vaulted garage design for the car collector like myself. Matched the tone & vibe of the surrounding area from the inside out. One of the few houses where the exterior design and most of the interior is spot on to what I’d want in a house - from the staircase in the 2 story entry with the stairs leading both upstairs and the lower level, to the 2 story family room (becoming less common these days), to the indoor pool rather than outside, to the hallway with the rounded columns leading to the rooms on the first floor, all the way to the FULL indoor basketball court?? (A hoopers dream like myself). If I could afford to drop $39M on a house, I’d buy this and turn down many others in the price range. Reminds me of one of my favorites - 1155 Angelo Drive Beverly Hills, or 49 Beverly Park Cir in Beverly Park. 12/10

[@m.s9146]

And if you have the $39 million but don’t want a basketball court in your home?

[@AffIuent]

@@m.s9146 Then you turn it into something else? 😂🤷‍♂️

[@s.patterson5698]

Totally agree! If I had the money, this is the house I would buy in the DMV area...what a view to have while still being so close to the city. Imagine being able to have all that glass and STILL have privacy. Unfortunately, it recently sold so I have to cease daydreaming. 😂😂😂 I have seen houses nearby for cheaper, but I'd pay the 10 to 15 million premium for that river front view.

[@ralphsanchico2452]

As beautiful and majestic this place is, and especially the B Ball court which my grandsons and nephews would practically move into (LOL), the surrounding landscape doesn't sit with me too well.

[@BlvckAmericana]

@@555125kevin largely due to cost of living in this area which I’m completely fine with. Just because there’s not a lot of black people doesn’t mean it’s not diverse tho.

[@david_king_music]

The Falls (Chain Bridge Road) had a similar feel that I had to get used to, also similar to the The One in Bel Air, and one in Massachusetts Heights (DC) previously owned by the CEO of BET. Very much like a hotel, and the reason is that at this scale of money, you are likely a leader/director-CEO/royalty/philanthropist of some sort, and potentially hosting large groups of people. Hence the open kitchens, huge great rooms, wide staircases, elevators, basketball courts... In the context of a home, something like a 40-car garage in a neighborhood feels insane, but it's literally the only way in this type of neighborhood to host an event (this is accessible via an essentially one-lane wooded road, and The Falls is on a busy downhill street with hills on both sides). About "hosting at your house", I think it's more private/discreet as well, rather than some hotel conference room in the middle of DC, or similar. So that's how I see these homes now, and it makes more sense. That said, I would have preferred a renovation (and historic protection) for the Charles Goodman designed midcentury modern home ("The Cliffs") that was here before this - a different scale of home nestled in the trees with peeks of views through them, a unique walkway approaching the home, and large floor-to-ceiling windows typical to the period. Introverted, aligned with nature and more "mysterious", this being more extroverted and impressive. I was shocked to walk on the Potomac and see this one's infrastructure being built, esp. that flat green space built over the cliffs. A beautiful area.

[@s.patterson5698]

It's at a great location. I think it was sold a couple months ago. If I had that type of money, this is the kind of house I would buy...not simply because itis large and grand, but the location is phenomenal...close to the city yet with the feel of the country.

[@tchilds1077]

[@patricksoon85]

[@david_king_music]

Not a remote area guys - super close to Tysons, Dulles Airport and less than a half-hour to DC (or less depending on traffic) on a pretty easy route (basically 2 roads), Regan Airport, McLean, and also an easy drive to Sterling. Obviously the political capital of the world but many corporate HQ's and non profits, universities and think tanks, plus so many artistic institutions, museums, parks... That proximity is the real reason for the price being what it is, imo the main rationale for Georgetown Pike, Crest Lane and Chain Bridge homes becoming priced in the +$20m range when you add the Potomac view.. which is why Dan Snyder's house on the other side of the Potomac and up much futher is still $30m

[@s.patterson5698]

That is one of the reasons I love it....close to the city yet that feel of remoteness when you are home.

I’m 50 years old looking to diversify part of my savings say $250k into real estate but I hear it is not a good time to invest in Real estate. Can i get any idea on other options?

[@Gbdnd]

Standard investment advice is that you should invest in a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, and money market funds. If you are like most people you will invest part of your money aggressively in stocks, and part conservatively in money market funds and bond funds. However, some young people will go all stocks, and some very conservative people will go all money markets.

[@Gbdnd]

I have my funds well diversified by using trade signals from my investment advisor Jennifer Elizabeth Boland a US registered CFA who you might have heard about or seen in the CNBC news and tbh it's been a huge relief. Highly diversified portfolio, mind blowing earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part.

[@kucheranraina9201]

This house is beautiful. The only downside is that it's in the middle of nowhere. I could see a lobbyist or wealthy contractor who didn't want to be near anyone living here.

[@paulgreene9997]

It's actually quite close to a densely populated suburban area - the houses in that immediate area are all extremely upscale and filthy rich, but within a couple of miles it gets into more average Joes kind of neighborhoods (well, if you can call $800k to a couple million dollar houses "average"). The CIA headquarters at Langely is just a few miles down the road, so you might be right about the "lobbyist or wealthy contractor" part.
