Nestled in the trees, perched atop a hill, sits Rocky Run Farm, a private oasis located five minutes from Tysons Corner. The property, updated with a recent $400k renovation, retains its historic farmhouse style, while exuding charm and character. Situated on 1.3 elevated acres, it offers unparalleled privacy while located within the established neighborhood of McLean Estates. Boasting a two-car detached garage, a pool, pool house, outdoor dining area and outdoor fire pit, it's an ideal setting for leisurely afternoons and entertaining guests. The two story main house and detached pool house total almost 6,300 square feet of luxury living with six bedrooms, plus an office/study and six wood-burning fireplaces. Five of these bedrooms are situated upstairs, including the primary retreat that boasts a deck overlooking the expansive grassy and lushly landscaped backyard which centers around the swimming pool. The home's main level consists of a large and versatile guest bedroom suite along with a formal dining room, formal living room, family room wrapped in original mid-century pecky cypress wood, library with built-ins and a powder room. The fully outfitted custom-designed gourmet kitchen offers a Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package, two dishwashers, a huge center island, custom cabinetry, an adjacent breakfast room, mud room and screened in porch. The recently renovated pool house has a fully-retractable NanaWall that embraces indoor/outdoor living, as well as a legal full kitchen and laundry. This remarkable estate offers a rich history. The original farm house is believed to have been built by Colonel George West Gunnell prior to 1860, and it still stands today as part of the main house. The property's legacy unfolds through decades, from an expansive tobacco farm as part of over 1,000 acres to a 130-acre equestrian property often visited by the Kennedys. Stories intertwine with legends, such as alleged encounters between JFK and Marilyn Monroe within its walls, lending an air of mystique to its history. Today, this exceptional estate stands as a testament to timeless elegance with all the modern amenities one would expect from a newly constructed modern-day home. Located on a quiet street less than a mile from the Silver Line Metro/Tysons, within the esteemed Spring Hill/Cooper/Langley High School pyramid, Rocky Run Farm provides easy access to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. Its proximity to major commuter routes like the Dulles Toll Road (entrance is 0.5 miles away), the beltway, and the GW Parkway ensures convenient access to the entire D.C. region.
