L
ocated on Dulany Drive within Elmwood Estates, a location of prestige and convenience, this
private estate is sited impressively high atop a hill on just under an acre and is one of McLean's
most admired homes on one of McLean’s most coveted streets. With extraordinary presence,
impressive scale, and strong architectural integrity, this breathtaking Colonial Revival home blends
modern amenities with timeless style and appeal.
Originally custom built in the 1950's, this classic residence was renovated with meticulous care in
1982, and then fully restored and expanded with equal integrity in 2000 by Mitchell, Best and
Goldsborough. No detail was overlooked. Only the finest materials were used to bring this residence
into the 21st century while preserving elements from the past.
From the original working fireplaces to the gourmet kitchen and media systems, this home has
truly been revived. Features such as restoration glass windows, antique crystal and brass door
knobs, plaster trim and custom millwork, designer wall coverings, antique lighting and custom
marble are all details that showcase the highest quality of workmanship, reflecting a true pride of
ownership. Elegant yet inviting, this is one of the Washington area’s finest properties to call home.
The Elmwood Estates neighborhood is without peer and strategically situated approximately 10
miles from Washington DC, with easy accessibility to the Capital Beltway, Route 66, Dulles Toll
Road, International airports, Tysons, the new Silver Line Metro, and "downtown McLean." It is in
close proximity to many private schools as well as located in the Langley High School pyramid.
An extraordinary opportunity and pristine environment await the discerning purchaser with an
appreciation of authentic Colonial Revival character and a true eye for detail.
