$2,950,000 This home gives you room for almost anything! With more than 7,400 square feet of beautifully designed living space, seven bedrooms, multiple recreation and flex spaces and a nearly half-acre level lot, this extraordinary custom residence offers a combination of scale, versatility and possibility rarely found in Alexandria City. Set on a quiet non-thru street and substantially expanded in 2011 with an emphasis on quality, proportion and timeless design, the home has space to gather, entertain, work, exercise, host extended family, pursue hobbies and still have room to grow and evolve. Outside, the possibilities are equally compelling, with an expansive level backyard offering abundant space for a pool, outdoor kitchen, gardens, play areas, a sport court or additional outdoor living spaces while retaining plenty of open lawn. A circular driveway, stately columned entrance, two-car garage and beautifully maintained grounds create an impressive arrival, while reclaimed hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, oversized windows, French doors and thoughtfully selected finishes establish a sense of understated luxury throughout. The gracious foyer is flanked by formal living and dining rooms, providing elegant settings for intimate dinners or large celebrations. At the center of the home is an exceptional chef’s kitchen designed on a scale that makes both everyday living and entertaining effortless, with custom wood cabinetry, expansive granite countertops, multiple sinks, dual dishwashers, wall ovens, oversized islands, remarkable storage, an extra-large pantry and generous preparation space, along with island seating and a spacious dining area capable of accommodating a crowd. The kitchen opens to a spectacular family room with soaring vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, a dramatic stone fireplace and a wall of French doors overlooking the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The main level continues with a private office, powder room, mudroom with custom built-ins and slate flooring, spacious laundry room, secondary entry and a sun-filled windowed breezeway elegantly connecting the home’s two wings. Upstairs, dual staircases lead to distinct bedroom wings that provide an unusual degree of privacy and flexibility. The primary suite is a true retreat with an oversized walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower and private water closet. Five additional bedrooms and a large open loft create even more options for guest rooms, home offices, study areas, a playroom, fitness space, studio or whatever life requires next. The lower level adds another dimension entirely, with a dedicated theater room, expansive recreation room with wet bar, additional bedroom and full bath, flexible bonus space, substantial storage and a walk-in cedar closet—room for movie nights, games, a home gym, hobbies, visiting guests or multiple activities at once. With seven bedrooms, five full baths, one half bath, two wood-burning fireplaces and two separate wings, the home provides the rare luxury of having a place for everything without sacrificing generous gathering spaces. Outdoors, expansive stone patios are already in place for dining and entertaining, while the broad, level lawn offers a remarkable canvas for creating the backyard you have imagined. A newer 8’ x 12’ storage building keeps gardening equipment, recreational gear and seasonal items conveniently out of sight. And for all the space and privacy found at home, the location keeps everything else within easy reach, with convenient access to Old Town Alexandria, Del Ray, Shirlington and Washington, D.C., nearby parks, shopping and dining, Metro stations, Reagan National and Dulles International airports and major commuter routes. Few properties in Alexandria offer this much space inside, this much opportunity outside and this many ways to make a home truly fit the life you want to live.

$10,150,000 Designed to Lead: Where Architecture, Performance, and Excellence Converge. Rising quietly at the end of Ballantrae Court, this exceptional east-facing ultra-luxury residence located in Ballantrae Farms, one of McLean’s most prominent neighborhoods, is a study in precision, power, and restraint—crafted for those who expect more and accept nothing less. Set on 1.54 private acres with a resort-caliber pool, expansive terraces, and a thoughtfully orchestrated site plan, the home delivers presence and sophistication without compromise. From the moment you arrive, the architecture signals intent. A metal-and-glass entry opens to soaring 11-foot ceilings, a floating white-oak staircase framed in steel and glass, and interiors defined by balance, flow, and light. Every material is purposeful: 7” wide white-oak floors, custom transitional millwork, solid 8’ doors, and floor-to-ceiling Marvin windows that pull the outdoors in while maintaining complete control of comfort and performance through a fully integrated smart-home ecosystem. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is engineered for mastery. Taj Mahal quartzite slabs, bespoke white-oak cabinetry, and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances—including multiple cooking surfaces, steam, convection, and induction—create a space that is as commanding as it is refined. A secondary catering kitchen ensures seamless execution for entertaining at scale, while the adjacent great room opens through automated glass walls to a covered outdoor living room with fireplace, heaters, and travertine flooring—an effortless extension of the interior experience. The upper level is devoted to retreat and restoration. The primary suite unfolds as a private residence within the home, complete with sitting room, fireplace, coffee bar, automated shades, and a spa-level bath with heated floors, soaking tub, and dual water closets. Secondary bedrooms are all ensuite, each finished to the same uncompromising standard, while a glass-enclosed laundry suite and upper-level family lounge elevate daily living. Below, the lower level is tuned for performance and play: an entertainment lounge with walk-out access, a wet bar with curated finishes, a gym with steam shower, a dedicated media and golf simulator-ready room, and a private guest suite. Every space is supported by serious infrastructure—Crestron Home Automation and Control System, luxury elevator access to all levels, 800-amp electrical service, 4-car main level garage with EV-charging capability, generator readiness —ensuring the home performs as beautifully as it presents. For future expansion, an optional 5th and 6th garage with apartment has gone through permitting. This is not simply a luxury residence. It is a statement of intent. A home designed to lead. Minutes to DC, Tysons, and 495. 20 minutes to both Dulles and Reagan Airports. 6 Beds ⋅ 9 Baths Designed to Lead: Where Architecture, Performance, and Excellence Converge.
