Welcome to Castlewood, an extraordinary French Normandy Manor positioned on nearly two private acres bordering nearly 7 acres of private Cedar Run land. Spanning an impressive 10,000 square feet home with meticulously crafted space, this true labor of historic artistry features structural steel I-beam engineering cloaked in the masterful brickwork of Archie Holleman and the legendary iron artistry of Danny Hurwitz, renowned for his restoration of the White House gates. Cross the threshold via a 200-pound artisan oak door into a breathtaking 40-foot soaring tower foyer anchored by a Gone with the Wind-inspired staircase and an authentic 1629 Lord Symington Fisk coat-of-arms. Rich hand-hewn woodwork, 250-year-old yellow pine floors, and grand yet inviting living spaces evoke the romance of classic English architecture, while vast proportions designed for modern living allow for effortless entertaining. Pass through 9-foot antique church pocket doors to discover a bespoke executive library crafted entirely from a single, select cherry tree with a walnut mantel matching the historic Georgetown Club. Elite Amenities & Luxury Living- Designed for the culinary enthusiast, the expansive kitchen showcases rich marble counters, custom cherry cabinetry, and antique brick accents. Descend the spiral staircase to a truly priceless wine cellar, featuring a brick floor reclaimed directly from the historic Gettysburg sidewalk where Abraham Lincoln delivered his address. An upper-level wing hosts a sprawling master sanctuary boasting a fireplace, dual bathrooms, and a body-massage jet shower with a heated seat. Luxury lifestyle features abound, including a billiard room/art studio with a high-beamed ceiling, an authentic Finnish sauna custom-built from South African wood, and a multi-zone radiant heat system. Grounds & Botanical Perfection- Stepping outside is entering a living masterpiece. Professionally curated by a wonderful landscape designer, the grounds unfold as a breathtaking botanical sanctuary. A handmade brick veranda overlooks an extraordinary collection of mature plantings—featuring 16 magnificent Japanese Maples, a flourishing persimmon tree, elegant camellias, and vibrant seasonal blooms—seamlessly blending into dedicated organic kitchen gardening beds. Beyond your private oasis, enjoy community tennis and pickleball courts alongside direct access to miles of running, walking, biking, and scenic trails on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail.
