This European craftsman-style luxury home in Merry-Go-Round Farm offers exceptional quality and attention to detail. Designed by architect Jim Rill, every architectural detail was carefully crafted for this 6900+ square foot house. The combination of French farmhouse and American influences creates a unique and elegant ambiance. The stone exterior, slate roof, copper gutters, and rustic stonework blend harmoniously with the wooded surroundings and panoramic views of the Potomac River. Inside, the emphasis on clean lines, simple ornamentation, and the extensive use of quarter-sawn oak trim and paneling add warmth and beauty throughout the home. From the dining room with its heated limestone flooring and honed marble fireplace to the living room each room exudes exceptional craftsmanship. The family room features a stunning stone fireplace, wood beamed ceiling, and French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the Potomac.
