Description

This is your chance to own a dramatic piece of memorable Virginia architecture. This stunning Georgian mansion, "Broy Hill", with a circular drive and grand columns, perched on a hilltop, is a grand dame of North Arlington. Every inch of this sweeping 10 bedroom/9.5 bath home was personally overseen by M.T. Broyhill for his own family's enjoyment. Sparing nothing, this jewel unfolds like a diamond necklace with blueprints for heavy detailed moulding, cornices, sweeping handrails, decorated fireplace mantels, handlaid hardwood floors and french doors. The fantastic floorplan features a glorious entry foyer with stunning curved staircase and chandelier, presenting the exquisite formal living room and dining room fitted with chandeliers, wall sconces and heavy three-tier cornice moulding and a deep butler's pantry fit for the entertaining that this home demands. Then, sink your teeth further into the abundance with two kitchens, a breakfast morning room, an afternoon+-solarium, home office or library, plus a terracotta tiled great room and fireplace, all on the first floor. The second floor offers a primary bedroom with a huge+-private outdoor balcony, buttressed by the intended children's suite of two bedrooms and Jack-and-Jill bath that also+-opens onto a private small balcony. Heavy dresser built-ins align the hallway, leading to two additional bedrooms and baths. Up another flight, be stunned by an enormous ballroom with vaulted+-ceiling, chandeliers and fireplace that recall the days of a gentleman's billiards room, dance hall, or concerto evenings. Two additional bedrooms on this floor. The lowest level is completed by a heavy oak library room, an indoor sauna room, two additional bedrooms, a small kitchenette. The whole house is made accessible by an elevator. This premium lot holds an outdoor in-ground pool in its own outbuilding. Note, this property also conveys a subdivided .25 acre lot! Incredible central Arlington location just uphill from Marymount University and streets over from Glebe Road and Military Road.
