10004 Iron Gate Road POTOMAC, MD 20854

Tucked away from the illustrious Iron Gate Road in the heart of highly sought-after Potomac Village is this handsome country estate. Sited on 2.18 wooded acres, at the end of a winding driveway, the approach makes an inviting yet dramatic first impression. Originally custom-built with interiors inspired by Katherine Hepburn’s Connecticut farmhouse, the home exudes timeless elegance, augmented by a sturdy brick facade and slate roof to withstand the test of time. Surrounded by wisteria vines, double doors reveal ethereal interiors sprawled across a substantial 9,463 square feet. Artistic in the way it flows in, natural light bathes the main staircase in a warm glow. Pocket doors off the foyer reveal a cozy octagonal study, with French doors leading out. The embassy-sized living room, measuring over 32-feet in length, is enveloped in natural light flooding in from skylights in the recessed cathedral ceiling. Two sets of French doors bring the outside in, while a roaring central fireplace, one of four in the home, retains a sensation of warmth within the vast space. Subtly elegant, the oval-shaped dining room features inlaid hardwood floors and overlooks the rear lawn. The country kitchen has been fully modernized, with a commercial grade range top, honed marble countertops, custom inset cabinetry, and a suite of SubZero-Wolf appliances. Touches such as the built-in bookshelf and adjacent breakfast area with fireplace enhance livability. A family room with three walls of windows and as well as a large screened porch overlooking the pool area complete the stunning main level. The primary bedroom’s raised ceilings and large fireplace contribute to the overall feeling of spaciousness, establishing an oasis. Twin walk-in closets and primary baths encompass all of the ubiquitous amenities, including a splendid clawfoot tub nestled beneath exposed wood beams and a walk-in glass and marble shower. Three additional large bedrooms, two full baths, and a cozy upstairs lounge are all thoughtfully designed. The lower level consists of an open space anchored by a billiards room with built-in seating and a recreation room with built-in shelving. A full wet bar, fitness room, lounge, full bath, and exceptional storage augments practicality and enables entertaining. The sprawling verdant lawns are surrounded by mature foliage for total privacy. Extensive hardscaping covers the acres of flat, usable space and includes large flagstone patios. A spectacular 50-foot lap pool with automatic cover sits against this natural backdrop for shaded swims on humid summer days. Timeless design, artfully restrained interiors, and a central Potomac location make 10004 Iron Gate Road the epitome of estate living.
