*** Open house this Sunday October 11th , 1 to 4 PM *** Architectural Distinction and Luxurious Living in Potomac Falls! Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind residence nestled in a serene cul-de-sac-like setting in prestigious Potomac Falls. Location, Privacy. Set on a quiet, cul-de-sac-like enclave, this exceptional residence offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and proximity to the region’s most desirable destinations. Originally expanded and redesigned by Robert G. Melby, the home reflects a thoughtful balance of timeless architecture and modern livability. A circular driveway creates a striking arrival experience, leading into interiors defined by soaring ceilings, expansive glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Natural light fills the home, framing views of professionally landscaped grounds and a resort-style pool. The kitchen is purpose-built for both daily living and large-scale entertaining, featuring dual islands, professional-grade Sub-Zero refrigeration, an integrated wine storage system, and extensive custom cabinetry. Labradorite blue granite countertops add a distinctive, high-end finish. The lower level includes a dedicated home theater with custom finishes, offering a private, cinema-quality experience. Outdoor living is equally well-considered. A columned breezeway connects to a two-level pool house with three full baths—ideal for guests, extended stays, or private retreat space. Despite its secluded setting, the property remains highly connected—just minutes from Bethesda, Tysons Corner, McLean, Georgetown and Capital Beltway —delivering both convenience and discretion. This is a rare offering for buyers seeking architectural character, functional luxury, and a prime location.
