23620 Three Sisters Road - Darnstown Outside - $2,495,000

Listed by Long and Foster

This community is located off Glen Road not too far from the upscale Palatine Subdivision. The community is mostly 2 acre lots with the majority of homes being large, upscale and custom built. What I like about the community is you always find interesting architecture and some really stunning homes. This home is fabulous.

The home is at the end of the street and a bit hidden by the landscape. Not in an overgrown sense, more by design. The gravel driveway brings you into a private courtyard reminiscent of a French chateau. There is plenty of room for parking, and more importantly a wonderful place to admire the beautiful garden and lovely brick home.

This home is huge. It consists of a main house and two attached wings. You could certainly fit a large extended family in this home and maintain privacy for all. The main home has a large open foyer with the main stairwell leading upstairs. There are a slew of large rooms off the foyer. They are all decorated in a Country French theme that works well in the space. The kitchen is large and spacious - more then one would ever need. I was surprised that it had not been upgraded, but as it is it fits the character of the home. At some point you could add granite and no one would know the better.

The wings each have independent living quarters including common areas that would please the most discerning guests. They were both large enough to house home businesses, without the least bit of a crowded feel. The basement space is mostly finished in both the main home and both wings. The rooms went on forever as I explored the basement. You could literally get lost here.

This home is actually too large to adequately describe in a review post. I think there is a LOT of space here for the asking price of $2.495mm. Although the decor may not be to every ones taste, the setting is fabulous. The grounds are fabulous as is the vision of the owners. Be sure to put this home on your short list to see should you be looking in this range. Believe it or not, I think the mere size of this home may be its only Achilles Heel. There is a lot here to take care of and maintain. It will be a labor of love for the next owner, but with great rewards.

I see this as a value at the asking price of $2.495mm. It will take the right person to see it and fall in love with it, but what a home. I see this settling in the $2.35mm range when negotiations are complete.
