Located in prestigious McLean, Virginia, Maison Vendome captures the elegance and grandeur of a classic, 19th Century French Manor House but with modern features and amenities ideally suited for today's modern lifestyle. The estate is discretely located on the finest street in The Reserve, one of McLean's most coveted addresses. Private gates open to a parking court for guests and one immediately is struck by the subtle details on the exterior architecture. Slate, limestone, wrought iron and copper join seamlessly to create an image of timeless luxury. Stepping through the massive iron and glass front doorway, that sense of luxury and elegance is evident from every angle. The stunning entry hall yields to grand, marble staircase and a soaring domed ceiling. The plasterwork here and throughout the estate reflects the finest work of hundreds of artisans, many trained in Europe. At one end of the gallery, guests will find a spectacular ballroom and adjoining wet bar, reminiscent of Harry's Bar in Paris. A richly paneled library is discretely accessible from a hidden panel behind the bar. Across the gallery, a dining room suitable for large scale entertaining centers on a breathtaking, Baccarat crystal chandelier. Beyond these elegant public spaces, the estate features beautiful family living areas designed for comfortable day to day living, including a chef's kitchen, family room, tea room, and a family study. Ascending the elegant marble staircase, the family quarters includes four bedrooms with en-suite baths and an expansive maser suite. The master suite centers on an elegant rotunda which opens to the private sleeping room, a sitting room, an extraordinary dressing room, and a sumptuous master bath. The Italian crystal chandelier in the master bath sets the perfect tone for a retreat which is both calm and exceedingly elegant.The garden level of the estate reveals yet more surprises. A large gathering hall with an expansive wet bar provides the focal point for this level which will delight family and friends of all ages. A climate controlled wine cellar beautifully displays over 1,000 bottles, and a 12 seat home theatre rivals anything found in the Hollywood Hills. For the sportsman, an indoor basketball court also doubles as a venue for the virtual golf driving range. A separate billiard room centers on an antique iron chandelier and opens to the garden. To complete the offering, an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and massage room afford all of the amenities of a 5-star resort. For the automobile enthusiast, the garage provides parking for 6 automobiles and features hydraulic lifts for additional convenience. Throughout the estate, a state of the art smart home system controls heating and cooling, entertainment, and security systems. The estate is entirely fenced and gated with lighting and security cameras at all entrances.Maison Vendome is a timeless masterpiece reflecting a level of craftsmanship, scale, and amenities rarely found in Washington.
