CATOCTIN CREEK

 

Purcellville, Virginia

 

A picturesque country lane bordered by elegant homes and manicured grounds is the setting of this stunning 18 room custom brick colonial. Beautifully sited on a knoll overlooking a spring-fed pond, sparkling streams, and lush green meadows, this exquisite residence was built in 2002 with extraordinary craftsmanship and design.

LOCATION: Ideally located just north of Purcellville and west of historic Leesburg, the property is within easy access of Washington, D.C. and approximately twenty minutes from Washington Dulles International Airport.

PROPERTY: Encompassing over 13 gorgeous acres with sweeping lawns and professionally landscaped gardens, the property includes a deep pond stocked with bass, perch, and carp, a fire pit for evening barbeques, and a spacious terrace for quiet relaxation.

RESIDENCE: A long paved drive leads to this impressive country estate surrounded by park-like grounds in a storybook setting. A gracious two-story center hall marks the entrance to this elegant residence, boasting approximately 9,000 square feet of spectacular living space, superbly detailed and beautifully appointed. High ceilings, handsome millwork and gleaming wood floors compliment the generously proportioned rooms. The open floor plan allows sunlight to filter through every area, casting a bright and airy glow throughout.

The richly paneled Library (16' x 16') features a hidden door to a spacious Arts and Crafts Room (16' x 12') tucked in the far corner of the main level.

The gourmet country Kitchen (24' x 16') is truly a chef’s delight with state-of-the-art appliances, glass fronted cabinetry, granite countertops and a center island with vegetable sink and seating. Triple glass doors lead to the Brazilian hardwood deck, and a Butler’s Pantry serves the formal and informal dining rooms.

SECOND LEVEL: A sweeping circular staircase leads to the upper level which accesses the Master Suite, three additional Bedrooms (14'6" x 14'), (14'4" x 15'3"), and (14'6" x 13'4"), and four baths.
