1226 RANLEIGH ROAD

This spectacular home offers unmatched luxury, manicured grounds, and gracious living, all on a secluded drive in beautiful McLean, Virginia. Custom built in 2004, its timeless sophistication and tasteful finishes make it a perfect residence for entertaining, whether for family, friends, or business. The main floor offers an easy flow of diverse gathering spaces including a formal dining room and living room, a sparkling sunroom, a cozy family room with a fireplace, and a more private sitting room. The expansive gourmet kitchen--with appliances by Miele, Fisher & Paykel, and GE Monogram--features abundant counter space and cabinetry, plus a large eating area banked by a wall of windows that look out onto mature trees and the private pool. Off the kitchen, you will find a combined laundry and pantry that includes a second full-sized fridge and access to the 3-car garage, as well as a service entrance. Rounding out the main level of the home is a half bath and a modest bar with wine storage. Upstairs, by either the sweeping staircase in the main foyer or the backstairs off the kitchen, you will find four of the home's six bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including the beautifully appointed primary suite. This level also has a generous open space just off the backstairs that is well-suited to be a more private sitting area for the home's residents. The home's lower level provides a large recreation room which has been outfitted with an A/V projection system, the fifth bedroom, and full hall bath with a steam shower. A bonus room that conveniently connects to that hall bath aspires to be a home gym or even a dance studio. The center hall gives access to the patio, private pool, and lovely gardens. Also on this level is a county-approved ***private apartment*** with a kitchenette that is open to a combined living/dining area, a large bedroom with a walk-in closet, and private full bathroom. In the good-sized utility room, there is a second laundry and additional storage. To further help you enjoy living here, all landscaping and pool maintenance are included. If desired, the services of the homeowner's longtime housekeeper can be arranged for an additional fee.
