Branching off the prestigious Chain Bridge Road NW is a hidden private drive. The hedge-lined path meanders through verdant foliage to reveal a walled and gated circular pea gravel motor court upon which sits an elegant estate home. Evoking cues from the most vaunted European country homes, part Tuscan villa and part French provincial, the estate was created from the ground up by its visionary owner-developer. Constructed out of cinder block with thick walls and a recently refinished triple-coat stucco exterior, the home is a true fortress of luxury. Stepping beneath the lofty portico and through arched double doors reveals the grand gallery, spanning the entire depth of the home. Hand-painted in a striking faux green finish by British artist Malcolm Robson to complement refinished herringbone floors, it sets the tone for the formal spaces. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, 8-foot solid mahogany doors, and elaborate P.E. Guerin hardware, including custom windows with cremone fittings, are testaments to the level of detail throughout. The formal living room boasts custom plaster crown molding and an 18th-century French limestone fireplace mantle. Spanning 32 feet, it opens onto the rear terrace via twin sets of French doors. A 19th-century French marble fireplace mantle anchors the formal dining room, enhanced by mahogany paneling and Braquenie curtains in the La Riviere Enchantee pattern. Recently expanded, the chef's kitchen is divided into prep and cooking areas: one traditional, the other contemporary. Viking, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Gaggenau appliances represent top-of-the-line offerings, including six burners. A mahogany breakfast room completes the main level. A vestibule leads to the upper-level primary wing. The bedroom features a raised pearl white ceiling and 18th-century Braquenie Le Grand Genois floral-patterned padded walls. The bath offers checkered marble floors, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and separate water closet. A wraparound dressing room with built-ins and track lighting completes the suite. Two additional ensuite bedrooms are uniquely styled. The large lower-level recreation room opens through three sets of French doors to a parklike rear lawn. The exterior features a covered flagstone terrace, central lawn, al fresco dining area, and a custom stone pond set against a pergola with lattice fencing. Privacy is enhanced by a bamboo enclosure. A fourth bedroom with adjacent kitchenette and full bath can serve as a self-sufficient suite. It closes off entirely from the rest of the home and has its own separate ingress and egress, an ideal arrangement for in-house support staff. Laundry and storage facilities are found nearby. HVAC systems include a 2023 Carrier unit for the main and lower levels, and a heat pump for the upper level. The hot water heater was replaced in 2024. A central vacuum system and new main-level glazing further enhance comfort. Across the motor court is a separate carriage house with an inlaid cobblestone entrance, three-car garage, workshop, storage space, and trash room. Upstairs, a private apartment offers a full kitchen, full bath, living area, washer/dryer, dedicated HVAC, and a private terrace. It is equally suited to guest quarters, staff lodging, a home office, or any other desired use. Passionately designed, meticulously crafted, and situated in one of Washington's most coveted enclaves, 2740 Chain Bridge Road NW is more than an estate. It is a masterwork of timeless European elegance and enduring architectural integrity. Rarely does a residence so completely embody privacy, provenance, and purpose. This is a home for the discerning few, a legacy property that will continue to inspire for generations to come.

Tucked away on a quiet, wooded street in coveted Chevy Chase DC, 2717 Tennyson Street NW is a newly constructed contemporary residence distinguished by an exceptional connection to its natural surroundings. Immediately bordering the verdant sanctuary of Rock Creek Park, the home captures rare, uninterrupted views of lush greenery, an experience seldom found within the city. Crisp angles, a blend of contrasting materials, and expansive glass area by Kolbe & Kolbe creates a dramatic curb appeal. A custom 11-foot aluminum and wood entry door introduces the grand interior, opening into a gallery-like foyer with through sightlines to the rear terrace and framed by a sweeping staircase. Spanning nearly 10,000 square feet, formal and informal rooms are thoughtfully arranged for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable daily living. European white oak flooring, installed using a special glue-down method, recessed baseboards, solid-core doors with 1½-inch jambs, and bespoke maple wall paneling create a refined, gallery-like interior and serve as a testament to the attention to detail found in every square inch of the property. Throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized glass doors frame the verdant canopy of Rock Creek Park, flooding the interiors with natural light and creating a constant dialogue with the outdoors. In the principal living spaces, broad panes of glass transform the surrounding trees into a living backdrop, changing with the seasons. Four Napoleon fireplaces infuse warmth into these spaces. The centerpiece of the residence’s more casual spaces is the striking chef’s kitchen. Equipped with a comprehensive suite of Thermador Professional Series appliances, neatly integrated into fully custom cabinetry and natural stone surfaces imported from Brazil, the space is a poster child for streamlined luxury. Adjacent living and dining spaces flow seamlessly outward to terraces and outdoor entertaining areas, extending the home’s connection to its serene setting. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a private terrace offering sweeping wooded views, a generous dressing room, and a lavish primary bath clad in Porcelanosa marble, featuring a steam shower room and radiant heated floors. Seven additional bedrooms and ten bathrooms throughout are each outfitted with exotic stonework and Delta fixtures, offering ample accommodation. The home is a hub for thoughtfully integrated wellness and recreation amenities. A dedicated fitness center with professional rubber flooring is supported by a sauna and promotes a wellness-oriented lifestyle, while a climate-controlled wine cellar with 200-bottle capacity adds a refined entertaining element. Mechanical systems supporting the property promote energy efficiency, including four-zone Carrier high performance HVAC controlled by Nest smart thermostats, a garden roof, EV charging station, and permeable driveway and patios. The outdoor space is another showstopper. The highlight of which is an expansive 40-by-20-foot lap pool with integrated spa anchoring the rear grounds to create a private resort-like setting. Above, a rooftop terrace prepared for an outdoor kitchen and grilling station offers elevated entertaining space and unbroken vistas. With its striking architecture, painstaking attention to detail and unparalleled location, 2717 Tennyson Street NW is a refreshingly sophisticated modern residence representing a forward-looking ideology into the notion of luxury urban living.

Set discreetly within the heart of Forest Hills, this distinguished 1937 English Tudor Revival occupies a beautifully landscaped lot of nearly half an acre, offering an exceptional sense of privacy just minutes from the center of Washington. Set well back from the street and approached by a stone walkway; the residence is framed by mature trees, established gardens, and a gated driveway. Encompassing over 5,200 square feet, the home has been thoughtfully re-imagined over time while preserving the architectural integrity, craftsmanship, and enduring character that define its Tudor origins. A handsome brick façade, half-timbering, and steep cross-gables establish the home's architectural presence. A gracious foyer introduces a sequence of richly detailed formal rooms distinguished by substantial millwork, exposed beams, crown moldings, and carefully considered materials. The spacious living room is anchored by a restored fireplace, while the adjoining open dining room creates an elegant progression for entertaining. The kitchen was completely renovated and extended in collaboration with BarnesVanze Architects, pairing the character of the original residence with the functionality of a modern chef's kitchen. A suite of appliances, generous cabinetry, and hand-scraped oak floors complement an adjoining mudroom finished with reclaimed bluestone slabs. Handmade reclaimed-oak doors, custom moldings, and a oak fireplace surround further enrich the main level, lending warmth and a sense of craftsmanship rarely found in contemporary renovations.
