A timeless home filled with modern conveniences and numerous RECENT updates!This is one of Old Towns few single-family homes with ATTACHED garage nestled on one of its oldest streets. A true rarity that is seen through two conventional lenses—the classic look and feel of Old Town from the exterior, yet young and new throughout the interior—this home awaits you as you pass through its gates . This gracious home built on land originally owned by John Hunter, is an excellent example of recent architecture accurately blending with its historic neighbors. The site was first used by John Hunter & Thomas Fleming as a ship building yard from 1763 through the 1780’s and later a carriage house. The site had no dwellings until 1889, when the land records note two dwellings. By 1987 only a small portion of one of these homes remained when construction on the present structure began. The owners have renovated it with attention to detail. Welcomed by the entry foyer, with custom leaded glass detailed front door, marble floor & dentil mouldings. You will love the open concept and meticulous attention to detail. The living room radiates from natural light that shines through a full bank of windows across the room. Custom marble mantle sits at its center, across from a built-in wet bar. The gourmet kitchen has been renovated w new appliances : Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler, oversized deep sink, smart double oven, ice machine, under cabinet lighting, quartz countertops and center island. The light-filled breakfast/family room has a 20ft wall of floor to ceiling windows which look out to gardens with plush plantings. Additional features include a butler’s pantry adjacent to the kitchen with ample cabinets for storage and counter space, powder room, formal dining room with built in window seat, a study/home office as well as a library with floor to ceiling book cases and a hand painted 1800’s map of the world on the ceiling. Whether it’s walking up the custom wainscot staircase or, taking the 3-floor elevator, the second floor exudes both personality and elegance. The primary bedroom offers the perfect space to unwind, as it has a gas fireplace with black and gold select marble surround & custom cabinetry and wood, floor to ceiling wall of windows, vaulted ceilings with built-in speakers and cove lighting. Add extra privacy with remote-controlled Hunter Douglas Silhouettes. The primary bathroom has marble and solid brass fixtures, complete with a jacuzzi tub and spa shower. The upper level also includes four additional bedrooms that have been extensively renovated, each a warm study in color and textures, two full baths, a laundry chute that connects to the laundry room on the lower level. A well appointed roof deck is accessible from 2 rooms and overlooks the private gardens. A second beautifully crafted staircase takes you to the lower level that is an entertainer’s dream. A custom mahogany wet bar with wine rack storage for 400 + bottles is the centerpiece of the room, along with a gas fireplace with double arched brick hearth, and welled windows for natural light. Tucked around the corner, as you walk through a welled entrance and onto hickory wood flooring, sits an exquisite office w/wall of custom cabinetry & closets. This multi-purpose room is designed for workout/craft room. Lower level features a large bedroom suite w/ abundance of closet space, a built-in day bed, and full bath, an area that could serve as guest bdrm. or au-pair suite. Fab laundry room with high efficiency appliances. Step outside and be transported into a private sanctuary. The backyard welcomes entertaining & al fresco dining with brick patio, gas grill, pond, trellis, lighting & lush plantings. Custom casework surrounds the exterior, aluminum gutters, steel roof & snow guards, irrigation & Security System. So come in, stay awhile, and fall in love as this gracious piece of charm, elegance and history welcomes you home!

It’s rare that a home with such rich history, distinctive architecture, and an exceptional location becomes available to the public. Today, you're in for a special treat--a chance to explore an extraordinary residence that blends American history, timeless craftsmanship and endless potential! Once the boyhood home of General Winfield Scott--the legendary general who served in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War--this remarkable home began its story in 1762 in Sussex County, Virginia, known then as The Mitchell House. In 1946, it found new life when Carl W. Porter, Fairfax County's Director of Public Works and a retired U. S. Navy Captain, along with his wife, Beatrice, carefully relocated it piece by piece to its stunning new site--a serene two-acre setting on the Potomac River, just below George Washington's Mount Vernon. They lovingly renamed it CARLBY! Washington’s 1793 map of the Mount Vernon Estate shows Carlby as “Field Number 1” and the water in front of the home as George Washington’s fishery. Set back from the road and only 200 feet from the water's edge, this secluded 2.18 acre property is approached by a graceful lengthy driveway which is perfectly situated to reflect the symmetry of the home and its outbuildings. This elegant residence follows the grand tradition of Southern plantation design--with a wide central hall and front and back doors perfectly aligned to invite cool river breezes. As you step inside with both doors open, the view of the water unfolds before you in breathtaking fashion. The riverside facade can be admired from the stately portico, reminiscent of Mount Vernon's grand lawn. Whether hosting gatherings or savoring tranquil mornings by the water, the setting offers breathtaking views, timeless serenity and radiant sunsets. With 151 feet of beautiful water frontage and a pier extending into the river, the property presents endless possibilities for relaxation and recreation, all surrounded by a natural landscape that serves as a thriving habitat for local wildlife. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks for itself. The first floor showcases original wide-plank pine floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and beautifully preserved moldings and paneling. To one side of the main hallway lies the grand living room, adorned with intricate wainscoting and elegant woodwork restored by the Porters themselves. Expansive nine-over-nine windows fill the space with natural light and frame sweeping river views. Across the hall, the formal dining room features a stately fireplace and a custom chandelier designed by Captain Porter and inspired by one found in George Mason's home at Gunston Hall. A cozy den with its own full bath offers the versatility of a first-floor bedroom; each of these rooms features a beautifully detailed period fireplace. The galley kitchen, half bath, laundry area and a private staircase leading to an upstairs room complete the main level. Upstairs, the owner's suite spans the full width of the house--a peaceful retreat with original floors, an elegant wood burning fireplace and an en-suite bath. With views of both the front lawn and the river, it captures the quiet grace of the home's 18th century origins. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath and custom built-in closets round out the upper level--each space filled with charm and history, from river views to cozy fireplaces. A detached double garage with upper-level storage, a historic smokehouse, complementary shed complete the outside structures on the property; all arranged with balance & purpose. Carlby is more than a home---it's a living piece of American heritage. A place where history, architecture and nature converge in perfect harmony. For historians, architects, preservations and lovers of nature who are looking for a waterfront, private retreat on over 2 acres of land, the possibilities are endless. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable.

Featuring 1.37 landscaped acres, this home offers country estate privacy that is easily accessible to Old Town, Washington, DC, and Reagan National Airport.

Reimagined by a builder and gardener for their family, the home’s elegant custom architectural details include high ceilings up to twelve feet, centuries-old heart of pine floors and library built-ins, four fireplaces, seven bathrooms and three primary suites. The large kitchen with family/breakfast area includes two working areas with sinks and a cozy office. A first-floor primary suite has a dressing room, two full baths and walk-in closets.
