Property Description
Beyond the private gated entrance, down a tree-lined driveway, lies your peaceful retreat - a beautiful historic estate located on 6.8 acres, nestled between Pohick Bay, George Mason’s Gunston Hall, and the Mason Neck State Park. An impeccable blend of modern updates and old-world character make this home perfect for both entertaining and everyday life.
Be prepared to be impressed by the grand 14' ceilings, four fireplaces, wide plank hardwood floors, and exceptional trim and millwork throughout. Just off the foyer and through one of several large arched doorways, the wood paneled study highlights the incredible craftsmanship of the 100-year-old home. Both the living room and dining room provide gracious spaces for large scale entertaining that easily flows from room to room, where gatherings can spill out through the 10 sets of french doors to the expansive custom brick patio.
The renovated kitchen addition blends seamlessly with the original home and offers vaulted ceilings, modern appliances, plenty of prep space, stone countertops, and wall to wall storage any chef would appreciate. Just beyond the island is a breakfast/keeping room, a warm and welcoming spot for enjoying a drink or casual meal by the fire. This area also serves as a convenient entrance when coming from the side driveway or garage and offers a large sink and functional workspace for tiding up after gardening or being outside. There is no shortage of activities to enjoy outdoors, both on and off property, with your own saltwater pool, private tennis court, barn, and the surrounding equestrian trails and parks.
Upstairs, the old and new continue in perfect harmony. Escape to the stunning Primary bedroom featuring views of the property from a Juliet balcony and a wood burning fireplace. The renovated marble bathroom, features multiple vanities, a spacious marble shower, laundry, and wall to wall closets.
A second bedroom with vaulted ceilings, accentuated by a crystal chandelier, and a Juliet balcony connects through a shared bathroom to another generous bedroom featuring an exposed brick wall. Tucked just off the landing is a cedar lined closet and another small set of stairs leading to the finished attic loft. This charming space filled with nooks and dormer windows has been used as a children’s playroom, office, and guest space over the years and has its own full bathroom.
Almost hidden on one side of the beautiful arched doorway between the foyer and living room is a door leading to the partially finished basement with walk up access to the side yard. In addition to finished and unfinished storage, there are two pool changing rooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry area/hookup, making life easy when you need to clean up after a swim or tennis.
Once part of George Mason's Gunston Hall estate, this land was given to a member of Mason's family and the stone walls of the original Springfield/Cockburn house (est 1763) serve as the foundation to the German bankbarn/garage today. The three-level structure is so much more than a garage, with stalls to house sheep, horses, and a tractor/mower on the lower level. The middle level serves as a workshop and garage and, along with the upper-level loft, has electricity and HVAC, providing potential for additional finished living space.
With all the tranquility and space this property offers, you may forget you are less than 4 miles from Rte 1 and 95 and only a 35 minute drive into downtown DC. Or you can choose to stay home and be as connected as you need with high-speed internet and a backup generator.
