Cape Cod

TRULY SPECIAL, STUNNING AND AESTHETICALLY A GIFT to anyone who will reside in this custom stone and Hardie Plank home (Eden’s Gate). The owners, one of which is an interior designer, expanded and remodeled this gem in 2015 with renowned Architect, Thomas Gilbride. They did so while retaining the charm of a 1930’s home in the historic district of sought-after Leesburg, VA. One of the most revered homes downtown (as the Listing Agent, I agree) sits for enjoyment for everyone’s pleasure just before Morven Park Road which is near parks and the commuter routes. Trust me when I share that not only is the home itself and setting so rare with sidewalks through Town, but also having acreage, owning your own SEPARATE GUEST HOUSE and separate DETACHED GARAGE is too. This piece of paradise is proudly presented on 1.2 ACRES with numerous perennial gardens, niches, water features, stone patios, walkways and views on all sides – as if this were not enough, the landscape includes substantial hardscape with stone walls, a large parking pad for guests and all of this was manicured in true fashion with the rest of the home down to its own 22-Zone Irrigation System. With an interior designer living here, one will appreciate the quaint stone patios, the new side porch and greenery viewed through the French Doors of the Owner’s Suite, and all brought inside from the picturesque windows. The high-end finish (METAL AND SLATE ROOF) and workmanship (functional) features are found throughout - in the custom Luxury Bath, in multiple built-ins, gorgeous tiles, crown moldings, board ceilings, designer light fixtures and much more. The custom paint palette assists the floor plan as it flows mainly on one level from room-to-room with an inviting sunroom with walls of windows and a remodeled dream Chef’s Kitchen with appliances to include: Sub-zero designer series (fully built-in flush with counters) 36” refrigerator and 30” wine cooler, Marvel icemaker, Thermador 5 burner gas cooktop with downdraft vent, and an oven stack (with microwave, oven, warming drawer) and Bosch dishwasher. You will appreciate how meticulous the owners of this property are and their love for it shines through - also in a well-thought-out floor plan. It includes 3 fireplaces (2 are gas and one is deemed a furnace), radiant heat flooring, aging in place features like grab bars, pocket doors to accommodate wheelchairs in the main Owner’s Suite. The love of design and aesthetics will bring a smile to your face as you walk through a one-of-a-kind home. Moving on to a special guest home, it offers two bedrooms (one is used as a studio/office), a full bath, laundry room, an eat-in kitchen and living room and rear deck. What is marvelous about this property, and not to be missed, is the guest house has a separate entrance and driveway on Morven Park Road which rear yard is buffered with privacy and foliage from the main residence while both back to the rear yard. Extended family and/or guests will have everything they need when staying in this self-sufficient guest home and residence. Also on premise is the newer (2016) Detached 2-Car Garage with a metal roof and its own Electric Vehicle Charging System. This too is surrounded by more perennial gardens and views. The Garden Shed, for the home gardener, overlooks a spacious rear yard with outside soothing water features/fountains and a stunning variety of landscape enjoyed also from the interior. If the uniqueness of this home in the sought-after historic district filled with shops, restaurants, music, events yet close to commuter routes is not enough, Leesburg was recently voted #8 “Best Places to Live for families” by Fortune Magazine 2022. The multi-zoned HVAC was also updated in 2015 to a natural gas system with a new high-efficient boiler and water heater.
