Stately in both appearance and location, this 16,000-square-foot mansion sits along the Potomac River in McLean, Virginia, just outside of Washington D.C. Inspired by Tuscan villa architecture, the 2008 home features a crenelated chimney, rounded turret and a thick limestone exterior Vermont red slate and copper accents.
Entered via a custom, ornate front door, the main foyer boasts 40-foot ceilings—marketed as the highest approved ceilings in McLean’s modern history. The home’s four levels are connected by both a staircase with wrought iron railings and a glass elevator.
No expense was spared in material selection—the home features eight types of wood including cedar, mahogany, maple, Brazilian cherry and walnut, as well as a variety of stones like granite, marble and travertine.
Aside from the 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms the luxury mansion also houses a screening room, escape room and 1,000-square-foot indoor pool with a sauna and hot tub.
Perched on a high embankment above the river, unobstructed views of the famous flowing waters can be found throughout the property, whether from massive windows in the living room, wrought-iron balconies or the landscaped lawn with a fire pit and seating.
