Located in the heart of sought-after Franklin Park, just over the Arlington line with access to exceptional Fairfax schools, sits this gorgeous wooded half acre property enhanced by magnificent gardens and mature landscaping. Designed by award-winning architect Robert Mobley, this absolutely stunning modern interpretation of a classic four-square farmhouse offers its family exceptionally beautiful and comfortable spaces. It was scrupulously constructed with materials that endure (like Marvin windows/doors, Hardie cement siding and a standing-seam metal roof) and has been meticulously maintained. You are welcomed by a spacious wrap-around, covered mahogany porch that previews the sense of calm, warmth, and charm to be found inside. From the central foyer are gracious living and dining rooms with arched entries, the start of the double-landing central staircase, and the entry to the spacious open kitchen/dining and family rooms. Cooking will always be a joy with the ultra-luxe Thermador fridge, six-burner Wolf stove/oven with pot-filler faucet, separate under-counter ice maker, two sinks, and well-placed Decora cabinetry. The FR is highlighted by a natural stone wood-burning fireplace and a recessed wall unit housing a 55” TV with Klipsch audio enhancements. Triple French doors provide both glorious vistas and access to a huge (just refinished) Ipe mahogany deck overlooking the beautiful private rear yard; what a great gathering place! Also on the main level are two offices, one with its own entry from the front porch and one with shelving doubling as pantry space, and a powder room. Level two has two corner bedrooms with ensuite baths, a corner primary BR with a balcony, two walk-in closets and two luxurious marble bath areas (one an exercise room with extravagant Kohler Infinity tub), and a laundry room with new top-tier GE appliances. Level three has two huge (13.5’ x 25.5’) bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a cozy reading nook. The walk-out lower level is truly exceptional: a full apartment (with a separate outside entrance) with a full kitchen, dining and living areas, a bedroom, and full bath; a wood-paneled club room with a full bar with a sink and wine/beverage fridge accented with a handsome stone wall; a Kohler powder room; a just-painted laundry room with an oversized pet-washing sink; a three-section 608 sqft. conditioned storage area with new floor coating. One section houses the equipment for the NuVo “Concerto” whole house audio and Panasonic business telephone systems and the control centers for the rarely found but highly- coveted heating systems. Encased in cement below each floor are copper water lines connected to a 9- zone hydronic hot water radiant heating system powered by a Weil McLain “Ultra” aluminum heat exchange gas boiler; this system provides gentle, comfortable, and efficient warming without noise or dust/allergens. Hot water is provided throughout by two high-efficiency Rinnai tankless heaters with recirculating lines/pumps. Even the air cooling in this home is rare, special, and coveted: two high- efficiency Unico high-velocity, multi-zone heat pump systems. From the lower-level foyer door is a covered breezeway to the 619 sqft. detached garage, which was just fully finished including an epoxy slip-free floor coating. Besides the 2 oversized parking spaces is a separate area, great for cycles, yard equipment, or a workshop, with its own overhead door; the garage has its own radiant floor heating system and plumbing rough-in for a future bath. For extra protection and peace-of-mind, this home was pre-wired with a ProTran switch block via an outside connection for a portable generator (deluxe Yamaha unit conveys) to power selected circuits, and a new sophisticated Vector security system was just installed. This home is ready for immediate move-in; everything you see will convey. Come see why serenity, space, privacy, comfort and beauty are the hallmarks of this truly remarkable home.

Unlike traditional forced air heating systems that rely on vents and ducts, radiant floor heating directly warms the floor itself, which then radiates gentle heat upwards, evenly distributing warmth throughout the entire space. Radiant floor heat doesn’t push dust or allergens throughout the room. radiant floor heat is silent and will not produce any noise when the system is running, and no hot spots or cold spots, just gentle warming. The system is supplemented with an Aprilaire whole house steam humidifier located in the media/family room producing a wonderful warm atmosphere during the winter months. Two zones on each of the top two floors, and three on main level. Cooling system is a Unico high velocity Heat Pump system that is very efficient at taking out the humidity in the air in summer.
