Transitional

Originally inspired by Charles Voysey’s English Manor homes, this 2016 Artisan Custom Homes built estate is sited on 2.29 bucolic acres with truly beautiful vistas. This home affords over 11,000 SF of luxury living in the private community of Bull Neck, accessed by Boyle Lane private access to Scott’s Run and its network of hiking trails along the Potomac. Graciously scaled rooms yield stunning window views from nearly every vantage point and open up to exterior spaces that include a stunning infinity pool with waterfall hot tub, flanked by an expansive, flat yard. The thoughtful floorplan with five bedrooms on the upper level includes dual wings connected by a gallery hall that provide seamlessly for formal entertaining and casual family living. Beautiful, character-grade millwork and cabinetry and stunning transitional elements complement each other at every turn. Among these are reclaimed wood beams, handsome stone fireplaces, casual wall and ceiling paneling, cool toned marbles, and modern light fixtures and hardware. A natural stone interior gallery wall anchors the home with multiple sets of French doors that lead to the pool terrace. Two stair halls connect to the upper and lower floors, and walls of windows invite an inpouring of natural light. The entry hall’s views bring the outside in and continue through the formal dining room as well as the formal living room with its masonry fireplace and antique mantel, paneling and custom barn doors that lead to the library. An idyllic work-from-home space, the library is fully paneled with quarter sawn-oak, built-ins and a window seat. The home’s formal wing blends seamlessly with the casual wing via an expansive transitional stair hall with v-groove paneling and sliding barn doors which opens to the incredible butler’s pantry with wine storage, kitchen, breakfast room, and great room. All design choices serve to unify the straight, clean lines of modernity with the rich hues of antique solid-wood beamed ceilings, including the kitchen’s reclaimed 100-year old beams originating from the original property on Bull Neck Run. A future elevator shaft, multiple pantries, mud room with private home-office or homework room, a family powder room, and two separate two-car garages complete the main level. The 43’ infinity gunite pool with 28’ infinity basin is surrounded by Ardiglulio Porcelain tile (specifically chosen for its non-slip properties and cool to the touch surface) with an individual waterfall spa hot tub is easily accessed from both the casual and formal wings of the home. An outdoor kitchen and fire pit as well as an expansive wooded play area and flat yard add to the exterior amenities and complete the ideal property. The upper foyer landing doubles as cozy reading nook, and the primary suite is its own paradise with a sitting room, vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, expansive windows, three custom closets, a heated bathroom floor, and incredible spa bath with vaulted ceiling and v-groove accents. Comprising the 2nd floor are 4 other separate bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets, and a large laundry room, all continuing the theme of natural material tile and vanities. The fantastic lower level greets family and guests with a beautiful and unique stone bar featuring custom cabinets, and antique wood counter accent, and custom light fixture. The bar area leads to a day-light lounge and recreation room, with 42” masonry fireplace, and a game room with tray ceiling, a powder room, a custom nerf-gun armory and it walks-out to another patio space. The alternate wing of the lower level is comprised of a custom exercise room with rubberized gym floor, wall mirrors, and a glass wall that divides it from a peaceful yoga/spa/sauna room with bamboo flooring. A private guest bedroom and its en-suite bath complete this level. All this along with convenient access to Tysons, 495 & GW Parkway, for effortless access to DC.
