6 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Every once in a while, a rare opportunity presents itself. The famous Birchland Estate has been completely reprised and awaits its next stewards! Sited on one of the highest points in Arlington, this property will amaze you with stunning rooftop views and envelop you in its private tree canopy. With one foot rooted in the past and another in a complete renovation and expansion, this home is a perfect blend of living history and unparalleled luxury. Dating to before the Civil War, the property has changed hands just a few times since its land grant from Lord Fairfax in the 1720s. Due to its location and elevation, in 1861 the original mansion became the headquarters of Civil War General Winfield Hancock, and home to the Spy Tree, a significant sentry post protecting Washington DC. The large oak in the front yard is a sapling, continuing the arbor legacy dating back to 1606. In the late 19th century, the home was rebuilt and expanded (including the use of reclaimed materials from President McKinleys inauguration stand (c1897)). Beginning in 2022, the residence began a meticulous renovation and expansion, resulting in a perfectly curated masterpiece. Preservation was an important focus and visitors will notice natural elements including the exposed hand-hewn timbers repurposed from President McKinleys 1897 inauguration structure. The heart of pine floors come from 19th century studs, beams and rafters deconstructed from the original kitchen structure and carefully milled and transformed into beautiful flooring. Elegant light fixtures and door hardware are curated throughout the home to celebrate the grace of a post-Civil War Mansion. A custom spiral staircase has been meticulously constructed and the Living Room features a barn-style sliding paneled door. The original wood burning fireplace and mantle have been restored. Glass paneled doors lead into a Main Level Bedroom Suite or Executive Study, with full bath and private patio entrance. Three traditional archways frame the main hall. The Dining Room is suited for grand entertaining. The Mudroom boasts inset cabinets, cubbies, a Powder Room, and side entrance, across from a perfectly curated Scullery, (a gorgeous second catering kitchen w/ modern amenities, stainless appliances and service windows to the patio). The new wing of the home is breathtaking with beautiful light fixtures, white-oak flooring and large windows. The chefs Kitchen provides Wolf and Subzero, Marble counters, inset custom cabinetry, and a farmhouse sink imported from Shaws of England. There is a charming Breakfast Nook w/ a built-in bench. The adjoining Family Room features a coffered ceiling and charming stone gas fireplace, and opens to the courtyard.
