Tucked behind automatic wrought-iron gates along a picturesque, verdant stretch of country lane, 9250 Persimmon Tree Road is a spectacular French country estate that blends old-world charm and grandeur with modern amenities suited to contemporary luxury living. A winding driveway introduces park-like grounds spanning a full acre, surrounded by a lush, mature canopy of trees. The approach to the arched front door showcases intricate stonework and opens to reveal 9,850 square feet of beautifully appointed living space. Rich wide-plank hardwood floors, extensive millwork, and a pervasive sense of craftsmanship and solidity prevail throughout. The dramatic double-height foyer features a sweeping staircase with elegant wrought-iron and wood railings. Double doors open into a private study with an intricate wall of arched built-ins, also echoed in the striking double-height living room opposite the foyer. From there, the home flows seamlessly into the embassy-sized dining room highlighted by a tray ceiling and accent lighting. A transverse gallery connects the home’s formal spaces with more relaxed living areas on the main level. These include a great room that opens onto the covered rear deck and shares a two-sided fireplace with the more intimate family room. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with dual islands, one with integrated seating, furniture-grade contrasting cabinetry, marble floors, and a comprehensive suite of commercial-grade Thermador appliances. Service areas are conveniently tucked just beyond and include a butler’s pantry with a wine refrigerator, a family foyer, a second powder room, and access to the oversized heated four-car garage. A cozy vestibule introduces the main level primary suite through double doors. Occupying a dedicated wing of the home, the bedroom features a fireplace and a soaring 12-foot tray ceiling. The dressing area is flanked by two walk-in closets lined with custom built-ins. The primary bath showcases marble floors, double vanities, a jetted soaking tub set against tranquil wooded views, a separate water closet, and an oversized walk-in shower designed as a steam room with dual steam generators and a sealed glass enclosure. Four additional bedrooms are located on the upper level, each offering generous storage and a private en-suite bath. One of these suites is particularly versatile and well suited as a hobby room, home office, or private retreat. A conveniently located laundry room completes the upper level. The walkout lower level is anchored by a large recreation room with a fully outfitted wet bar. Additional entertaining spaces include an adjacent billiards room, a wine room with built-in storage, and a professional home cinema. A fitness center, two bedrooms, and a full bath with direct pool access complete the level, creating an ideal environment for entertaining and extended stays. The outdoor living spaces are a true highlight. The lower level opens to a covered terrace leading to an expansive flagstone patio surrounding the 45-foot lap pool, complete with a spa and automatic cover. Elegant hardscaping and curated landscaping create a serene and private setting. At the far end of the lawn, a pavilion with ceiling-mounted heaters and a fireplace allows for year-round al fresco entertaining. Adjacent to the pavilion, the hardscape extends to a large stone firepit area, creating an inviting gathering space for evenings outdoors. After sunset, the grounds are illuminated by landscape lighting, and the property sits on a level, fully usable lot with underground irrigation. Despite its tranquil setting, the estate enjoys a prime close-in location less than a mile from Potomac Village and near major commuter routes into the city, while belonging to the highly sought-after Winston Churchill High School cluster. Immaculately maintained and defined by an elevated level of style and craftsmanship, 9250 Persimmon Tree Road represents estate-style luxury at its finest.
