Open this Sunday from 1-3pm. This 19th century classic, with a mature blend of private and expansive views, has been completely overhauled with top-of-the-line details and a floor plan unique unto itself. The developer is now conveying the qurter acre home site along with the adjoining quarter acre, so a (rare for N. Arlington) full half acre conveys allowing for a pool, guest house, 3 car garage, etc. We have drawings, showing several options. This home (“The Birchland”) is an entertainers paradise. One thread you will notice as you walk through are the thoughtful details and use of natural elements. Whether it’s the rooftop terrace (beautiful sunsets) drenched in stone and ipe wood, the totally cool basement whiskey bar with exposed concrete, brick & wood, the scullery (catering kitchen ) with a pass-through serving ledge to the entertainer’s courtyard, or the chef-inspired gourmet kitchen and sun-filled living room, you’ll have spaces for all occasions and no matter where- classic design, thoughtful details, natural materials and a sense of the rich history of the estate. 6 beds (4 on same level) / 6.5 baths. Owners suite is drenched in southwestern light with all the accoutrements…. spa bath with steam shower, separate 8’ vanities, two closets, Samsung Frame TV, linear fireplace, sitting room, vaulted/beam wood ceiling, even its own thermostat. A flex workspace/laundry on 2nd level with front balcony access. And there are options for the aging in place and/or multi-generational families, too. Beyond the tangible and livability, there is also some beautiful history to this home. Dating back to a land grant by Lord Fairfax, only four families have owned this property. It has been the headquarters for a Civil War general, home to the historic Spy Tree due to its high elevation and was built to its current mass in 1898 using much of the material reclaimed from the inaugural stand erected for President McKinley. Please see documents tab for more history. And please, come be our guests and tour this beautiful unicorn of a home! It exudes flexibility, tranquility, authenticity and a very private location, while being completely updated in every way to suit the most discriminating luxury homeowner.
