Behind stone pillars and a private gate on 2+ landscaped acres off River Road, this original-owner Potomac estate offers 11,500 square feet across three finished levels. It’s the kind of address that rarely comes to market. On the main level, 12-foot ceilings set the scale from the moment you step into the grand foyer. A conservatory rises 23 feet beneath floor-to-ceiling windows, warmed by a gas fireplace and flooded with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home. It centers on an oversized island with Sub-Zero refrigeration and a six-burner gas cooktop, a butler’s pantry and wine room sit just steps away. A sweeping wrought-iron staircase rises to the bedroom level, where every bedroom is a suite with its own bath and walk-in closet. The primary retreat is a true sanctuary. It has a private balcony overlooking the rear lawn, a sitting room, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a jetted tub and an oversized walk-in shower. A separate au pair suite, reached by its own staircase and complete with a kitchenette, offers privacy for extended family or live-in help. Life here moves easily between indoors and out. Mornings start in the sunroom. Evenings spill onto the slate patio and courtyard, with whole-home audio carrying the soundtrack across the grounds. The lower level has plenty of room to entertain, with a home theater, a gym, a wet bar, and an expansive recreation room. Two oversized two-car garages complete the picture. All of it sits five minutes from Potomac Village, with quick access to I-495 and I-270 for downtown DC and Northern Virginia. You get privacy and scale without giving up proximity. Room to grow, space to gather, and a setting you’ll never want to leave.
