Hunt Country Estate
$3,322,000
Rosehurst is a nearly 10,000 square foot residence on two floors that embraces the grand Greek Revival architecture of the 19th century but its 2005 construction creates a home designed for modern country living at the highest level. Enter the estate through a gated, brick columned passage and embark on a half mile private gravel drive to the house. The front facade has an imposing four column Tuscan portico with a gabled pediment and semi-oval window at its center. There are solid mahogany double door entrances in the center which provide access into the residence from the massive ground floor portico and balcony of equal size on the second floor. The rear architecture is a mirror image of the front including portico and balcony with views of the vast grounds and gated swimming pool.
The interiors are designed with impressive 12ft ceilings and evoke a sense of history and grandeur while flooding the rooms with natural light. There are 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, powder room and 6 wood burning fireplaces plumbed for gas. A stately double height foyer with a bifurcated stairway leads to formal living and dining rooms, oversized great room, sunroom, media room, colossal eat-in kitchen, butlers pantry, laundry room and mud room with direct access to an attached 3 car garage. The main level also features an entrance into a nearly completed new 2 story wing with stunning 13ft ceilings, exposed brick, 2 of the home’s bedrooms, spiral staircase and large loft. The seller will allow buyers to choose a stain for the new 5” oak floors. Rosehurst’s second floor features an additional family room, 5 bedrooms including a luxurious owner’s suite with attached private office, direct balcony access, double vanity bathroom with jacuzzi tub, shower and 2 walk in closets.
Additional highlights throughout the home continue to tell the story of exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design such as 5” oak floors on both levels, GE Monogram appliances with 6 burner gas range, double wall ovens, warming drawer, side by side refrigerator and freezer, prep sink, wine chillers and center island built in boiler. The nearly 63 acres are not in easement.
Rosehurst embodies timeless luxury both inside and out with incredible privacy and views combined with a highly desirable Warrenton location less than 5 minutes from shopping and restaurants and just 35 minutes from Dulles International Airport.
