Beyond the gated entrance, a serene fountain surrounded by manicured landscaping introduces this exceptional, European style estate. The impressive stone and stucco facade signals the elegant details inside. Fully renovated by the current owners over two years, the residence is meticulous in every respect. Stepping though double entry doors, a magnificent entry hall centers on a dramatic staircase which sweeps gracefully to the upstairs landing. To the left, a reception room centers on a marble fireplace. Directly across the entry hall, an elegant dining room is scaled to accommodate a gracious seated dinner. Beyond the entry hall, a two story rotunda is flooded with natural light from palladium windows and flows seamlessly to the adjacent, richly paneled library on one side, and the elegant kitchen on the other. The elegant custom details continue in the kitchen where custom mahogany millwork sets the stage for a range of culinary delights. In the center of the kitchen, a gleaming La Corneu range from France is an indication of the professional quality found throughout the kitchen. An adjoining breakfast room and family room open to the terrace, gardens, a screened porch with fireplace and the glamorous pool complex. Here, an outdoor kitchen is positioned beneath a spacious loggia overlooking the pool which is enhanced with laser fountains, LED lighting, and calming waterfalls. This is indeed an oasis for summer entertaining at its finest. Moving upstairs, the primary suite provides a further retreat boasting a sitting room, private study, spacious closet and dressing room, and a spa like marble bath with a fireplace. Four additional en-suite bedrooms are all graciously scaled providing comfortable accommodations for family or guests. An elevator services all three levels. The lower level yields a multitude of surprises and centers on large game and billiard rooms with a custom mahogany bar. An impressive wine cellar accommodating an 800 bottle collection adjoins this space. The amenities continue on this level, and a state-of-the art home theatre with a Steinway sound system is as impressive as it is comfortable. In addition, a full home gym and spa bath with a full steam room and sauna further add to the long list of amenities. To top it off, the massage room centers on a custom gas fireplace and affords plenty of room for two heated tables. The meticulous garage easily accommodates three cars, and ample additional parking is available on the driveway. To save a trip to the golf course, a private putting green is discreetly placed beyond the garage. Beyond the gardens, an expansive green belt assures privacy year-around. Ideally located in The Reserve and just minutes to downtown McLean, Tysons, and the Dulles Corridor, Ballestrade Court is one of the finest, turnkey estate offerings in the Washington region.
