This storied property provides a historic 100-year-old carriage house and barn on a beautiful eight-plus-acre building site with an opportunity to create an incredible new estate accented by yesteryear’s charm.
Originally part of the famous family compound where the United States Golf Association Museum now resides, this century-old setting compliments the converted carriage house designed by John Russell Pope—the renowned architect for the Jefferson Memorial (Washington, D.C.), the National Archives and Records (Washington, D.C.), the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), and the American Museum of Natural History (New York, N.Y.).
Partially renovated in 2010, the carriage house and barn are currently used as a residence consisting of six bedrooms, six baths, an office/den, and an all-purpose, open-concept living/great room and music area. Two bedroom suites have sitting rooms and multiple closets.
The majestic land offers spectacular privacy and an unsurpassed building site for the next owner to append new construction to the existing carriage house, or build an entirely new residence of their choice and render the carriage house an accessory building. Architectural drawings are available for a magnificent 8,000-square-foot stand-alone estate home, as well as, drawings for a carriage house redesign with an addition (totaling 10,000 square feet without basement-level square footage).
Equally suitable, the carriage house could be returned to a barn for equestrian or agricultural use, a private gallery for art or car collections, a sports complex, a personal office, an entertainment area, or endless possibilities as a showcase building for the new owner.
The pedigree of this beautiful haven is extensive and an extremely rare find.
Two separate and distinct residences are not permitted on this site: one residence and one accessory structure are permitted. Property cannot be subdivided.
