Custom-built brick by brick by Funk Builders & Woodworking, this extraordinary ranch-style estate on nearly five private acres in McLean is a rare offering. It's defined by 36-inch doorways, handcrafted woodworking with solid oak trim throughout, Brazilian walnut floors, and travertine stone. Beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning brick fireplace commands the great room. Sweeping arched windows on either side frame the natural world beyond like a painting, through every season. The main-level chef's kitchen is a true gathering place, appointed with travertine floors, custom cherrywood cabinetry, granite counters, and a generous center island with seating for six. A front dining room overlooking the covered front porch and a butler's pantry with abundant shelving complete the space. Designed for true flexibility, this 5-bedroom, 4-full-bath home offers single-level living. The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring an oversized walk-in closet with custom shelving and an ensuite bath with fine craftsmanship throughout. A hand-carved, furniture-style double vanity with a black granite top anchors the room, paired with arched carved mirrors and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. Unwind in the tub beneath a bay of windows, taking in sweeping views of the grounds. The main-level office/den converts easily to a bedroom. The fully appointed walkout lower level is ideal for multigenerational living, serving as a private in-law suite or additional flex space. It features a second chef's kitchen, a full bath, a hand-carved wood front and back bar, a recreation and theater room, a workshop, and expansive living and storage space. Gorgeous French doors open to the gabled covered back porch, with brick columns, wrought iron railings, and a beadboard ceiling. Step down to the lower-level patio of stamped concrete and flagstone, sheltered by a pergola and framed by a curated landscape of flowering and fruit trees, with a water garden and hot tub hookup. In the evening, gather around the firepit beneath a starry sky as fireflies drift through the yard. Beyond, acres of manicured grounds with water views stretch out, where whitetail deer, quail, pheasants, and bald eagles roam. The setting feels worlds away, yet it's just a short drive from town.
