Unquestionably one of Washingtons finest estates, 3030 Chain Bridge Road NW represents a faithful reinterpretation of 18th-century English precedents encased in a modern package. A collaboration between Jones Boer Architects, The Banks Development Company, and Arentz Landscape Architects united three of the citys most significant long-standing industry names in meticulously handcrafting a home whose proportions, materials, and workmanship harken back to a bygone era. Prominently perched on the site of the renowned Cafritz Mansion, the rare, nearly 39,000 square-foot lot enables a gracious crescent drive and separate motor court, affording a resplendent approach to the grand estate. Unobstructed forward vistas overlook verdant parkland and soaring mature trees. Painstaking studies of distinguished local mansions and the works of John Russell Pope were scrutinized for their scale, proportions, and details. For the facade, clad in Indiana limestone with solid copper downspouts and topped by a Spanish Del Carmen slate roof, Palladios Doric Order was chosen as the proportioning system, ensuring golden ratios, perfect symmetry, and complete harmony. A handcrafted solid mahogany door beneath the triple-arched portico opens to a splendid grand foyer. The sweeping staircase, with its delicate bronze balusters is a functional work of art. Engineered Rift white oak flooring, thick moldings, baseboards, and trim, as well as strategically placed accent lighting, converge to create an ethereal ambiance that is contemporary yet indulgent in every regard. The main levels floor plan effortlessly accommodates both large-scale entertaining and casual living. The grand salon, anchored by a hand-carved wood-burning fireplace, serves as a central gathering point, seamlessly connecting to the adjacent paneled library, offering a cozy retreat. The homes informal wing is anchored by the chefs kitchen, fully clad in Carrara marble. Twin waterfall islands, a bronze hood, double concealed Sub-Zero refrigerators, and a stunning custom Lacanche range, all nestled within oversized, furniture-grade inset cabinetry, perfectly befit a home of such caliber. The adjoining family room, grand in scale yet intimate in ambiance, opens directly to the rear lawn through French doors. Accessed through double doors at one end of the upper-level mezzanine, the primary wing unfolds into a private living area, a gracious bedroom, and two dressing rooms-one spanning two stories. Twin marble-lined baths with heated floors and custom vanities elevate the experience, while a large elevated terrace extends the retreat outdoors. Four additional ensuite bedrooms on the upper level provide ample accommodation. Situated above ground, the lower levels recreation room opens through two sets of French doors, bringing the outdoors in. A stunning marble wet bar and wine cellar with reclaimed wood beam ceilings set the tone for elaborate festivities. A private, paneled billiards room evokes the elegance of a gentlemens lounge, while the private media room is complete with a surround sound system. In the rear, a wide loggia bridges the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. A harmonious blend of minimalist landscaping and extensive limestone hardscaping creates a natural oasis, completely removed from the urban environment beyond. Tucked below the upper dining terrace lies a lap pool, pool pavilion, lounging area, and secluded lawn. After the sun sets, a comprehensive outdoor lighting system further elevates the ambiance. A four-car garage, industrial-grade support systems, including geothermal HVAC, 800-amp electrical service, a full house generator, Savant automation with audio-visual capabilities, and a comprehensive Lutron lighting suite, add layers of modern livability.

An impressive study with its original stone fireplace and which greets you as you enter can also be used as an office or family room, And, finally, there are scores of special touches added, to make this property the ultimate in Georgetown.
Branching off the prestigious Chain Bridge Road NW is a hidden private drive. The hedge-lined path meanders through verdant foliage to reveal a walled, circular pea gravel motor court upon which sits an elegant estate home. Evoking cues from the most vaunted European country homes - part Tuscan villa and part French provincial - the estate was created from the ground up by its visionary owner-developer. Constructed out of cinder block with thick walls and a recently refinished triple-coat stucco exterior, the home is a true fortress of luxury. Stepping beneath the lofty portico and through arched double doors reveals the grand gallery, spanning the entire depth of the home. Hand-painted in a striking faux green finish by British artist Malcolm Robson to complement refinished herringbone floors, it sets the tone for the formal spaces. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, 8-foot solid mahogany doors, and elaborate P.E. Guérin hardware - including custom windows with crémone fittings - are testaments to the level of detail throughout. The formal living room boasts custom plaster crown molding and an 18th-century French limestone fireplace mantle. Spanning 32 feet, it opens onto the rear terrace via twin sets of French doors. A 19th-century French marble fireplace mantle anchors the formal dining room, enhanced by mahogany paneling and Braquenié curtains in the La Rivière Enchantée pattern. Recently expanded, the chefs kitchen is divided into prep and cooking areas: one traditional, the other contemporary. Viking, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Gaggenau appliances represent top-of-the-line offerings, including six burners. A mahogany breakfast room completes the main level. A vestibule leads to the upper-level primary wing. The bedroom features a raised pearl white ceiling and 18th-century Braquenié Le Grand Génois floral-patterned padded walls. The bath offers checkered marble floors, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and separate water closet. A wraparound dressing room with built-ins and track lighting completes the suite. Two additional ensuite bedrooms are uniquely styled. The large lower-level recreation room opens through three sets of French doors to a parklike rear lawn. The exterior features a covered flagstone terrace, central lawn, al fresco dining area, and a custom stone pond set against a pergola with lattice fencing. Privacy is enhanced by a bamboo enclosure. A fourth bedroom with kitchenette and full bath can serve as a suite, with laundry and storage nearby. HVAC systems include a 2023 Carrier unit for the main and lower levels, and a heat pump for the upper level. The hot water heater was replaced in 2024. A central vacuum system and new main-level glazing further enhance comfort. Across the motor court is a separate carriage house with an inlaid cobblestone entrance, three-car garage, workshop, storage space, and trash room. Upstairs, the guest suite includes a kitchenette, full bath, living area, washer/dryer, dedicated HVAC, and private terrace. Passionately designed, meticulously crafted, and situated in one of Washingtons most coveted enclaves, 2740 Chain Bridge Road NW is more than an estate - it is a masterwork of timeless European elegance and enduring architectural integrity. Rarely does a residence so completely embody privacy, provenance, and purpose. This is a home for the discerning few - a legacy property that will continue to inspire for generations to come.
