这座约建于1913年的石砌庄园,毗邻郁郁葱葱的岩溪公园,占地超过三英亩,是华盛顿特区古典复兴式建筑的典范之作。庄园由著名华盛顿建筑师沃迪·巴特勒·伍德设计,他的作品塑造了20世纪初首都的建筑风格。庄园优雅地展现了永恒的设计、精湛的工艺和历史意义。这片庄园三十年来首次开放,包含一座优雅的石砌住宅、一座客用小屋、一座50英尺长的泳池和露台、一座切割花园和一座菜园以及一座网球场,占地超过三英亩,与岩溪公园融为一体。
这座庄园真正与众不同之处在于其无与伦比的地理位置、私密性和规模。主宅占地近10,000平方英尺,为在距离白宫仅三英里多的地方建立私人家族领地提供了难得的机会。在这座空间极其宝贵的城市,这处宽敞的庄园兼具乡村度假胜地的私密性与华盛顿特区中心地段的便捷性和尊贵性,为人们提供了千载难逢的机会,让他们能够在首都的核心地段打造一处世外桃源。
庄园位于一条私家道路的尽头,入口隐秘,私密感十足。步入住宅,气派的中央门厅令人叹为观止,挑高10英尺,建筑结构优雅对称。从这里,住宅一侧无缝衔接,通往华丽的正式客厅,燃木壁炉占据中心位置,超大窗户的自然光线充足,两扇法式门通往侧露台。住宅的另一端是一间雅致的正式餐厅,餐厅内设有壁炉,是举办优雅晚宴和大型娱乐活动的理想场所。
主层的设计兼顾奢华聚会和日常生活,包含一个配备宽敞台面和专业级厨具的宽敞厨房。厨房旁边是温馨宜人的家庭/阳光房,提供非正式用餐和休闲座椅的空间,营造出自然的日常交流中心。一楼设有图书室和私人办公室,为阅读、工作或休憩提供更安静的空间。
二楼设有宽敞的主卧套房,配备起居室、水疗式浴室,并可通往可欣赏广阔庭院景致的私人露台。此外,还有两间带独立浴室的卧室、一间雅致的书房和另一个露台,为这一层提供了舒适、私密和灵活的居住环境。三楼设有两间额外的卧室套房和一个宽敞的休闲空间,非常适合举办电影之夜、玩乐或多代同堂。地下室设施齐全,配备洗衣房、健身房和充足的储物空间。
壮丽的庭院宛如一座私人公园。五十英尺高的游泳池掩映在绿树之中,美丽的石砌凉廊是您在树荫下享受宁静时光的理想场所。游泳池旁边是一片广阔的蔬菜和切菜园,而这两者只是庄园广阔庭院的两个方面。走出住宅,一片私人网球场和起伏的草坪为户外休闲娱乐提供了无限可能,无论是体育比赛还是宾客草坪派对。独立的客用小屋为宾客提供私密舒适的环境,所有这一切都融入了这片宽敞私密的庄园的幽静优雅之中。这栋住宅最独特的特色之一是它采用了从林奈山(Linnean Hill)原谷仓回收的石材建造而成。林奈山是乔舒亚·皮尔斯(Joshua Pierce)的历史悠久的庄园,他是一位早期的园艺家和苗圃主,他的房产为岩溪公园(Rock Creek Park)的建设奠定了基础。这种对回收材料的巧妙运用,将庄园与这片土地在字面和象征意义上紧密联系在一起。
Tucked away on over three secluded acres adjacent to the lush expanse of Rock Creek Park, this circa 1913 stone manor house is a rare and distinguished example of Washington, D.C.'s Classical Revival architecture. Designed by renowned Washington architect Waddy Butler Wood, whose work helped shape the architectural fabric of the capital in the early 20th century, the home stands as a graceful testament to timeless design, craftsmanship, and historical significance. Available for the first time in thirty years, this compound includes an elegant stone residence, guest cottage, 50’ pool and terraces, cutting and vegetable gardens, tennis court, on over three acres that fold into Rock Creek Park.
What truly sets this estate apart is its unparalleled location, privacy and scale. Commanding nearly 10,000 square feet, the main residence offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to establish a private family compound just over three miles from the White House. In a city where space is at a premium, this expansive estate combines the privacy of a countryside retreat with the accessibility and prestige of a central D.C. address—offering a once-in-a-generation chance to create a sanctuary in the very heart of the nation’s capital.
Located at the end of a private road, the access to the compound is discrete with an immediate feel of privacy. Upon entry, the home immediately impresses with a grand central foyer, featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings and graceful architectural symmetry. From here, the home flows seamlessly on one side to a magnificent formal living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and is bathed in natural light from oversized windows, and two sets of French doors which open to a side terrace. On the opposite end of the home, a gracious formal dining room with a fireplace and offers the perfect setting for elegant dinner parties and large-scale entertaining.
Designed for both luxurious gatherings and everyday living, the main level includes a large kitchen outfitted with extensive counter space and professional-grade appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a warm and inviting family/ sun room with space for informal dining and relaxed seating, creating a natural hub for daily connection. Completing the first floor a library and private office provide quieter spaces for reading, working, or retreat.
The second floor is home to a generous primary suite complete with a sitting room, spa-like bath, and access to a private terrace with views of the sprawling grounds. Two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths, an attractive den, and another terrace complete this level, offering comfort, privacy, and flexibility. The third floor provides two additional bedroom suites and a large recreation space—perfect for movie nights, play, or multigenerational living. There is a full basement with laundry, gym and ample storage.
The magnificent grounds unfold like a private park. The fifty foot swimming pool is nestled amongst trees and offers a beautiful stone loggia for peaceful moments in the shade. The pool is situated beside a sprawling vegetable and cutting garden both of which are just two aspects of the estate’s expansive grounds. Proceeding away from the house, a private tennis court and rolling lawns offer endless possibilities for outdoor recreation and entertaining whether it be sports matches, or lawn parties for guests. A separate guest cottage offers privacy and comfort for visitors, all within the secluded elegance of this generous and private estate. One of the home’s most exceptional features is its construction from stone salvaged from the original barn at Linnean Hill, the historic estate of Joshua Pierce, an early horticulturist and nurseryman whose property helped lay the groundwork for Rock Creek Park itself. This thoughtful use of reclaimed materials ties the estate to the land both literally and symbolically.
