V A

Tucked away on five tree-lined acres in the lush Virginia countryside, this magnificent manor enjoys few equals in the DC metropolitan area. Its extensive detailing and exquisite millwork make it a rare gem as well as an architectural masterpiece. Certainly grand with its twelve to eighteen foot ceilings, yet this home remains remarkably warm and inviting. With six woodburning fireplaces, how could it be otherwise?

As its artisan-owners knew, true beauty lies in the details. Crown molding throughout the home like you have never seen, a gourmet kitchen with an authentic reproduction 19th century tin ceiling, a 1,300 square foot apartment over the four car garage—these are just teasers. To get any sense of the magnificence of this home you must go to www.929LeighMill.com, press “VIDEO” and see for yourself!
