House with garden and terraceWashington (United States)Price : $6,300,000
Stepping beneath the lofty portico and through arched double doors reveals the grand gallery, spanning the entire depth of the home. Hand-painted in a striking faux green finish by British artist Malcolm Robson to complement refinished herringbone floors, it sets the tone for the formal spaces. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, 8-foot solid mahogany doors, and elaborate P.E. Guérin hardware, including custom windows with crémone fittings, are testaments to the level of detail throughout.
The formal living room boasts custom plaster crown molding and an 18th-century French limestone fireplace mantle. Spanning 32 feet, it opens onto the rear terrace via twin sets of French doors. A 19th-century French marble fireplace mantle anchors the formal dining room, enhanced by mahogany paneling and Braquenié curtains in the La Rivière Enchantée pattern.
Recently expanded, the chef’s kitchen is divided into prep and cooking areas: one traditional, the other contemporary. Viking, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Gaggenau appliances represent top-of-the-line offerings, including six burners. A mahogany breakfast room completes the main level.
A vestibule leads to the upper-level primary wing. The bedroom features a raised pearl white ceiling and 18th-century Braquenié Le Grand Génois floral-patterned padded walls. The bath offers checkered marble floors, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and separate water closet. A wraparound dressing room with built-ins and track lighting completes the suite. Two additional ensuite bedrooms are uniquely styled.
The large lower-level recreation room opens through three sets of French doors to a parklike rear lawn. The exterior features a covered flagstone terrace, central lawn, al fresco dining area, and a custom stone pond set against a pergola with lattice fencing. Privacy is enhanced by a bamboo enclosure. A fourth bedroom with kitchenette and full bath can serve as a suite, with laundry and storage nearby.
HVAC systems include a 2023 Carrier unit for the main and lower levels, and a heat pump for the upper level. The hot water heater was replaced in 2024. A central vacuum system and new main-level glazing further enhance comfort.
Across the motor court is a separate carriage house with an inlaid cobblestone entrance, three-car garage, workshop, storage space, and trash room. Upstairs, the guest suite includes a kitchenette, full bath, living area, washer/dryer, dedicated HVAC, and private terrace.
Passionately designed, meticulously crafted, and situated in one of Washington’s most coveted enclaves, 2740 Chain Bridge Road NW is more than an estate, it is a masterwork of timeless European elegance and enduring architectural integrity. Rarely does a residence so completely embody privacy, provenance, and purpose. This is a home for the discerning few, a legacy property that will continue to inspire for generations to come.
