Located in one of the Capital Region's premier residential communities, with distinguished estate homes occupying its sprawling wooded lots dotting its wide, winding streets, this singular estate in Potomac Village stands alone. Within this rarified air, 10105 Iron Gate Road is sited on 2.04 private, spectacular acres. Evoking cues from the summer homes of Nantucket yet retaining the distinctive solidity of a colonial, the estate was originally custom built by Peterson & Collins, a longstanding Washingtonian firm constantly at the forefront of global residential construction and design. Such a reputation is evident in the architectural details of the home, beginning with an elegantly curved covered porch facing towering mature trees. Inside, an intimate vestibule opens into the grand foyer, bound by the sweeping staircase and upper level mezzanine overhead and around which all rooms revolve. Embassy sized formal living and dining rooms flank the space in a nod to a more traditional center hall layout. The former boasts a gracious curved wall of windows with verdant views, while the latter features a hidden butler's pantry enabling effortless flow. Informal areas span the entire rear of the main level, anchored by the chef's kitchen. A SubZero/Wolf appliance suite, natural stone countertops, extensive cabinetry, and coffered ceiling define the space. The adjacent breakfast area offers patio access and wooded views, while the adjoining keeping room features a cozy gas fireplace. A connected mudroom with laundry facilities, a full pool bath, and access to the attached three car garage greatly augments functionality. A large, natural lit family room with fireplace, built-in wet bar, and direct patio access completes the main level. The upper level primary suite's expansive sitting room and more intimate barrel-ceilinged sleeping area effectively creates two different zones while maintaining an unbroken open space. The newly-renovated primary bath is clad in white marble, featuring all of the ubiquitous accouterments - separate vanities, walk-in shower, freestanding tub - and opens into an aspirational dressing room with extensive built-ins and center island. Five secondary bedrooms, one ensuite and two pairs of jack-and-jills, revolve around a common sitting area on this level. The top level features an additional bedroom suite - ideal for a teenager, yoga studio, hidden retreat, or private office. A large recreation room bisects the entire width of the lower level - a full 57 1/2 feet. A wine cellar, two bedrooms, two full baths, and an exercise room completes the space. Out back, the rear lawn is a showstopper. Level, usable, and bound by mature foliage, there is ample room for a sports court. An extensive flagstone patio cascades into the heated pool and spa with automatic cover, newly renovated by Alpine Pool and Spa. Whimsical hardscaping, landscaping, and up-lighting after the sun sets establish a complete, private, natural oasis. Behind the scenes, commercial-grade systems such as new HVAC, a new driveway with future gate wiring, and a state-of-the-art surround sound system including outdoor speakers facilitates peace-of-mind contemporary living. Lavishly equipped, generous in scale inside and out, and situated on an incomparable lot within a central Potomac location, 10105 Iron Gate Road is a preeminent estate for the most discerning buyer.
