Nestled within a gated 3.09-acre sanctuary in McLean, 839 Towlston Road emerges as a remarkable testament to modern architecture and the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed by Theodore “Ted” Dixon Bower, a distinguished alumnus of Wright's school, this residence is an embodiment of organic architecture harmoniously integrated with its natural surroundings. The home's striking contemporary design is a symphony of form and function, featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling that spans the double-height foyer and formal living room. This architectural marvel is enhanced by large picture windows that frame the lush landscape, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the tranquil sounds of the adjacent Rocky Run. The interiors of this masterpiece are a testament to functional artistry, featuring a flowing floor plan that bathes each space in natural light. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen, renovated in 2019, boasts marble and glass countertops, natural wood cabinets, and top-of-the-line appliances, adjacent to a sun-lit solarium and formal dining room that provide elegant spaces for entertaining. Comfort and privacy are paramount, with a cozy den and guest suite completing the main level. The upper level unfolds as a haven of relaxation, where a loft-style sitting area with a gas fireplace and vaulted ceilings invites serene moments. Each bedroom offers an en suite bathroom and premium amenities, while a private office and library cater to both work and leisure. The crown jewel of this residence is the primary suite, occupying the entire top level with a private fireplace, sitting room, and balcony that commands unobstructed views. Its skylit bathroom serves as a spa-like retreat, featuring dual vanities, twin walk-in showers, and a jetted tub set against a backdrop of the serene landscape. The property's exterior is a masterpiece of hardscaping, with multiple tiers creating a private natural paradise. 839 Towlston Road is not just a home; it's a living piece of art that carries the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural principles. This one-of-a-kind offering is a rare gem in McLean, perfect for the most discerning buyer seeking a unique blend of history, architecture, and modern luxury. ***Offers, if any, will be due on Monday April 15th at 12:00PM ***
