Scrupulously planned, The Reserve, is the apogee of luxury living in McLean, Virginia. The venerated Adrian Edwards Custom Homes forged this extraordinary estate on a lush one-acre cul-de-sac lot. Stone monuments, illuminated by iron lanterns, flank the paver motor court. A culmination of brick and stone composes the exceptional exterior facade. Beyond the double door entry, the sweeping curved staircase, with iron balusters, accentuates the circular two-story foyer. Solid sand-in place hardwood floors, transom windows, and 10' ceilings, graced by custom crown moldings, are highlights throughout the main level. A bowed bay window radiates light through the living room centered by it's magnificent Carrara marble fireplace hearth anchoring the room. Break bread and celebrate with guests while hosting magnificent dinner parties in the banquet-sized dining room. Accessible through the butler's pantry, the sizable gourmet kitchen opens to the family, breakfast, and sunrooms. The under-mount lighting from the custom milled cabinetry illuminates the granite countertops and travertine backsplash, which is inlaid with intricate metallic accents. Appointed with Subzero, Wolf, Fischer & Paykel, Dacor, and Bosch appliances, the kitchen will inspire your inner chef. An expansive contrasting center island is pierced by an elongated prep sink that serves a champagne and wine trough. Ceramic tile flooring continues from the kitchen into the sunroom, with plantation shutters, and into the breakfast room, which has French doors to the rear deck. Architectural pillars define the voluminous family room featuring marble on the fireplace surround and in the display niche. The executive office, prep kitchen, mudroom, two powder rooms complete the main level. Front and rear staircases provide access to the upper level. Boasting built-in cabinetry, tray ceiling, fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a sitting room, the master suite creates the ideal owners' retreat. In the spa master bath, the center jacuzzi tub is positioned in front of the dual entry walk-in shower with its stained glass inset window. Generously sized expresso split vanities, with granite countertops, provide a calm space while you prepare to greet the day. Four additional oversized bedrooms, all with walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, plus a spacious laundry room, finish the upper level. The walk-out lower level features a full bar, with granite countertops, overlooking the bowed recreation room, with tray ceiling, billiards area, and den. An enormous flex space can serve as a fitness center or home theatre. Generous amounts of storage space lie in three storage rooms, two of which are finished. The three-car garage has extended height ceilings and an additional storage wing. Enjoy al fresco dining from the rear deck or covered slate patio, both sharing views of the fully fenced backyard and wooded common area.
