10517 Alloway Dr, Potomac

$4,495,000

Paying homage to its namesake estate, modeled after the Château de Malmaison and a sprawling summer getaway for the Gore and Kennedy families, Marwood is a whimsical enclave of custom luxury homes dotted amongst wooded surroundings along the banks of the roaring Potomac River. Beyond the original gate house, its winding streets meander amidst towering trees, revealing only 26 lavish residences on sprawling lots. Within this historically significant and highly rarefied air, sited on a knoll, is 11218 River View Drive. Originally constructed by legendary local builder Ted Visnic in the French Provincial style for a renowned Hollywood producer, the artistry is evident throughout in the home’s thoughtful design and architectural prowess. A sweeping hairpin driveway creates a dramatically gracious approach, revealing a central motor court framed by stone hardscaping, as well as the stunning symmetrical facade clad in stone and stucco with intricate detailing. A paver walkway introduces a flagstone front courtyard, upon which the elegant arched front double doors are nestled beneath a vestibule. They part ways to reveal tastefully exquisitely crafted interiors, highlighted by embassy sized public rooms, 14’ ceilings, custom wrought iron railings, and hand-designed crown moldings. The sprawling main level is bifurcated by a transverse gallery, its barreled ceiling with hanging pendants and travertine flooring bridging formal and informal spaces. Central to the floor plan is the great room, an expansive double-height space framed by an upper level overlook. Two grand chandeliers hang from the coffered ceiling, with the space anchored by an elaborate hand-carved fireplace on one end and a custom milled entertainment station on the other. Quintuple sets of double glass doors open onto the unique rear loggia, generously proportioned and blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living via triple motorized doors which fully integrate the space with the rear terrace. Dignified areas on the main level include a large billiards room with spiral staircase to the upper level, a warm paneled library, and a capacious dining room featuring soaring ceilings and accent lighting, harkening back to the great French country estates of a bygone era. Informal areas are anchored by the chef’s kitchen, showcasing dual done countertops and cabinets concealing a top-of-the-line appliance suite including SubZero refrigeration. An arched, full height marble backsplash wall behind the custom hood is the focal point, while the breakfast nook with its leaded glass windows is discreetly tucked away. Two luxurious bedroom suites complete the main level. Ascending the sweeping wrought iron staircase reveals just three bedrooms and a convenient laundry room on the upper level, including the lavish primary suite. Its sleeping area features a roaring fireplace flanked by doors accessing the private terrace, while multiple walk-in closets branch off the barrel-ceilinged dressing gallery. Flooded with natural light from a semicircular wall of windows, the primary bath is sumptuously equipped with a dual vanity, jetted soaking tub, separate water closet, and walk-in steam shower. Above the loggia is a full width stone terrace, accessed from the upper level, overlooking the rear grounds, and nestled amidst the trees for a truly whimsical experience. The lower level comprises multiple bonus and recreation areas with options for a fitness center, home cinema, wellness area, and additional entertaining space. Resort-like rear grounds revolve around the stunning 60-foot heated pool with motorized cover, and its accompanying pool house recessed into the hillside with a crescent-shaped viewing terrace above. Generous patio space facilitates large scale entertaining and dining al fresco. Merely a mile west of Potomac Village along River Road, yet totally secluded in feel, the location is unparalleled.

11218 River View Dr, Potomac

$4,195,000

Tucked behind automatic wrought-iron gates along a picturesque, verdant stretch of country lane, 9250 Persimmon Tree Road is a spectacular French country estate that blends old-world charm and grandeur with modern amenities suited to contemporary luxury living. A winding driveway introduces park-like grounds spanning a full acre, surrounded by a lush, mature canopy of trees. The approach to the arched front door showcases intricate stonework and opens to reveal 9,850 square feet of beautifully appointed living space. Rich wide-plank hardwood floors, extensive millwork, and a pervasive sense of craftsmanship and solidity prevail throughout. The dramatic double-height foyer features a sweeping staircase with elegant wrought-iron and wood railings. Double doors open into a private study with an intricate wall of arched built-ins, also echoed in the striking double-height living room opposite the foyer. From there, the home flows seamlessly into the embassy-sized dining room highlighted by a tray ceiling and accent lighting. A transverse gallery connects the home’s formal spaces with more relaxed living areas on the main level. These include a great room that opens onto the covered rear deck and shares a two-sided fireplace with the more intimate family room. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with dual islands, one with integrated seating, furniture-grade contrasting cabinetry, marble floors, and a comprehensive suite of commercial-grade Thermador appliances. Service areas are conveniently tucked just beyond and include a butler’s pantry with a wine refrigerator, a family foyer, a second powder room, and access to the oversized heated four-car garage. A cozy vestibule introduces the main level primary suite through double doors. Occupying a dedicated wing of the home, the bedroom features a fireplace and a soaring 12-foot tray ceiling. The dressing area is flanked by two walk-in closets lined with custom built-ins. The primary bath showcases marble floors, double vanities, a jetted soaking tub set against tranquil wooded views, a separate water closet, and an oversized walk-in shower designed as a steam room with dual steam generators and a sealed glass enclosure. Four additional bedrooms are located on the upper level, each offering generous storage and a private en-suite bath. One of these suites is particularly versatile and well suited as a hobby room, home office, or private retreat. A conveniently located laundry room completes the upper level. The walkout lower level is anchored by a large recreation room with a fully outfitted wet bar. Additional entertaining spaces include an adjacent billiards room, a wine room with built-in storage, and a professional home cinema. A fitness center, two bedrooms, and a full bath with direct pool access complete the level, creating an ideal environment for entertaining and extended stays. The outdoor living spaces are a true highlight. The lower level opens to a covered terrace leading to an expansive flagstone patio surrounding the 45-foot lap pool, complete with a spa and automatic cover. Elegant hardscaping and curated landscaping create a serene and private setting. At the far end of the lawn, a pavilion with ceiling-mounted heaters and a fireplace allows for year-round al fresco entertaining. Adjacent to the pavilion, the hardscape extends to a large stone firepit area, creating an inviting gathering space for evenings outdoors. After sunset, the grounds are illuminated by landscape lighting, and the property sits on a level, fully usable lot with underground irrigation. Despite its tranquil setting, the estate enjoys a prime close-in location less than a mile from Potomac Village and near major commuter routes into the city, while belonging to the highly sought-after Winston Churchill High School cluster. Immaculately maintained and defined by an elevated level of style and craftsmanship, 9250 Persimmon Tree Road represents estate-style luxury at its finest.
