Monday: Mind Your Manors
Wow. This week’s luxury home is located in Spring Valley (20016 zip) at 4847 Rockwood Pkwy NW and is listed at $8.5 million. That’s a cool $1 million reduction from the original list price, and it’s been on the market for more than a year (385 days, to be exact). The lot (a little less than ½ an acre) is smallish for the size of the house (16,000 sq. ft.); but in this case, I think what they’ve done with the outdoor space more than makes up for that: it includes a heated pool, Jacuzzi, manicured landscaping, and a cabana with a kitchen. Inside, you’ll find the usual suspects (wine cellar, home theatre, library, and a gourmet kitchen), but you’ll also find something unusual – a spa treatment room. You know, so you don’t have to be bothered with the pesky drive to and from your massage or facial.
Every last detail of this house is impeccable; nothing is left undone, and the colors used are neutral enough that most buyers could (at the very least) easily live with them until they could be redone. There are 82 pictures to comb though on the virtual tour, but they are definitely worth the time and effort. Even if you’re not in the market, looking at a home like this is always a nice little diversion from “real life”. You can also learn more about the Spring Valley neighborhood from its Wikipedia entry. Enjoy!
