Welcome to this breathtaking Mediterranean-style estate on a beautifully manicured one-acre property in coveted Alexandria, Virginia. Perched on an elevated knoll, down a private driveway, this stunning residence offers majestic elegance in a space that inspires vibrant gatherings, from cocktail parties by the pool to formal entertainment in the opulent dining room. The architectural details and finishes evoke timeless European charm, from the stucco exterior and terracotta roofing to the arched doorways and Palladian windows that bring brilliant natural light throughout the home. Step inside to discover a grand entry foyer with a deliberate receiving area that begs anticipation for what's to come. As you land on the main level, the home takes your breath away with its soaring volumes. Then, step down into the living room, flanked by double doors that open to the pool deck, transporting you to a Mediterranean vacation from your home. The space was carefully designed to accommodate up to eight bedrooms, five of which are en-suites, and home office opportunities ahead of their time. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, including a private suite with direct access to the pool deck. The primary suite commands one wing of the upper level, in the treetops with beautiful open sky exposures. Outdoors, you’ll find gorgeous, professionally landscaped grounds designed for maximum beauty and privacy. A true showstopper, the in-ground pool is the centerpiece of the backyard, surrounded by lush gardens, your private retreat. There is a massive three-car garage, led by the circular driveway, to accommodate significant events. The setting feels like a world away, yet it is just minutes from Old Town Alexandria and the heart of Washington D.C. This home offers an unmatched lifestyle opportunity within a wonderful community.
