Listing Spotlight: 830 Herbert Springs Road

Introducing your forever home, fit with views of the Potomac River. This custom-built home has been loved and cherished by its owners, and now it is ready to be enjoyed by you!

830 Herbert Springs Road is tucked away off the George Washington Parkway and East Boulevard Drive, offering a comfortable, elegant, and timeless estate to escape. Hidden away along a private drive, in one of the most highly desirable locations in Alexandria, sits this stone chalet with uncompromising quality. The home is composed of only the finest materials and masterful craftsmanship, rarely found in today's construction. The pitched gable roof, exposed rafters, and rich stone details conger up images of the European Alps. Expansive windows and back porches offer inspiring views and large areas for entertainment. 

The original owners have cherished this home since its inception and have meticulously maintained it. In fact, when they sold the home in 2004, they missed it so much they purchased it back 10 years later! The sprawling layout is perfect for those seeking one-level living or families and multigenerational living. The great room with 18-foot ceilings is flooded with natural light. The large patios are ideal for all-sized gatherings. Enter into the foyer with an adjacent living room or additional office with idyllic Potomac River views. Steps away is a grand paneled library with custom bookcases and one of four fireplaces. The great room is where everyone wants to gather with its random-heart-pine floors and rustic stone fireplace. Three sets of french doors open to the stone patio and pond. The recently renovated kitchen will impress any cook with Viking and Subzero appliances, island seating, and a breakfast room. The adjacent laundry room has a wrapping station plus room for all your gardening supplies and hobbies. The spacious main-level primary bedroom suite offers a family room with a fireplace and three large closets. The upper level also offers two spacious bedrooms and two baths. The lower level has a sizeable two-bedroom guest apartment with a full bath, kitchenette, bar, family room with fireplace, plus a separate exit. In addition, the lower level also offers a wine tasting room with original doors from Saint Mary's convent, a theater area, a game room, plus a massive storage room. Did we mention the elevator goes to all three levels?
