About This Property
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 57½ 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.
