Nestled on nearly two-acre , 1267 Valley Road is a masterpiece designed by architects William Poole and Scott McIntyre of McIntyre Capron & Associates, in collaboration with the owners. This Virginia Farmhouse style home offers luxury and tranquility, which has evolved over 25 years into a mini estate of unparalleled beauty. Approaching along a private cobblestone edged driveway, bordered by mature trees, the farmhouse porch welcomes with mahogany floors and a copper roof, a perfect spot for relaxing with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Inside, a grand two-story foyer features a custom staircase with white risers and cherry treads, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and custom millwork throughout the home. Flanking the foyer on either side are two distinct and inviting spaces. To one side, a spacious living room with grand fireplace, is perfect for both intimate gatherings and relaxed evenings. On the opposite side, the traditional dining room exudes charm, ready to host formal dinners and festive celebrations. The kitchen, adorned with Kountry Kraft white custom cabinetry (renowned for their high-quality, environmentally conscious products made in the USA), combines traditional style with modern amenities like a farmhouse sink, Wolf stove with eight burners, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a butcher block island. A spacious walk-in pantry and breakfast room with tray ceiling and wall to wall picture windows with pool views enhance the culinary and dining experiences. This bright and airy room provides easy access to the three-season porch, which in turn leads to one of the home's charming terraces. The back hallway, with its elegant slate flooring, leads to an additional front door opening onto a smaller, charming porch. This hallway also provides access to the back staircase and the garage. Off the hallway is a spacious laundry room, mirroring the kitchen's high-quality cabinetry. It features a generously sized sink, Miele washer and dryer, and a convenient bath/shower, perfect for bathing pets or rinsing off muddy boots. This level also has an additional living space with fireplace, just off the kitchen with French doors opening to the 3 season porch. The main floor includes a luxurious primary bedroom with sitting area, two walk-in closets, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, steam shower, and whirlpool bath. Upstairs, two climate-controlled suites offer privacy, one with an additional bedroom, while two more bedrooms share a hall bathroom. The lower level features wide plank cherry floors, a gym, state-of-the-art theater, custom bar, billiard area, wood-burning fireplace, and French doors to a terrace. Outside, landscape architect Doug Mecray's design integrates natural stone elements, including a boulder retaining wall, antique brick paver patios and multi-level terraces with limestone slab steps. The use of Pennsylvania fieldstone provides a natural backdrop around the custom-designed, free-form pool, which mimics the look of a pond and is finished with upgraded Pebble Tec Stone for a dark blue water effect. A pool house, reminiscent of a historic smoke house features large exposed timbers & shiplap siding, metal roof, an oversized masonry fireplace with a barn beam mantle, built-in refrigerator, copper sink, and TV/internet wiring. Meticulously maintained gardens and lawn terraces surround the property, offering a private oasis bordered by natural beauty. The sellers eagerly await passing this exceptional property to new homeowners ready to embrace its rich history and unparalleled living experience. Whether relaxing in tranquil gardens, hosting by the pool, or enjoying the craftsmanship within, 1267 Valley Road offers a unique opportunity to live amidst elegance and serenity.
