A rare offering on the magnificent shores of Lake Barcroft, this extraordinary multi-level contemporary residence stands as one of the most exceptional private estates on the lake—an architectural triumph successfully executed by Pat Divino seamlessly blends world-class design, breathtaking water views, and refined elegance. Just minutes from Washington, D.C., the home is set on a private 28,200-square-foot peninsula spanning nearly 300 feet of prime waterfront offering commanding vistas of lakefront beauty. With 5 private beaches and endless opportunities for water sports and lakeside recreation, this sanctuary is designed to elevate daily living and inspire grand entertaining.
From the moment you step into the dramatic 20-foot foyer enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass, you are met with breathtaking lake views and masterful interior design. The main level offers a symphony of materials and craftsmanship, from imported German lacquer cabinetry in the chef’s kitchen, to the soaring coffered ceilings and natural light streaming through expansive glass walls. Premium appliances support both culinary performance and visual delight.
The dining area, crowned by an architectural skylight, opens to a custom glass-railed balcony overlooking the lake — a sublime setting for elegant outdoor entertaining with seating for over 25 guests. Every room tells a story, including the primary suite with its serene water vistas, dual dressing areas, and spa-inspired bath featuring artisan blue glass tile, a steam-equipped shower, and a four-person jacuzzi tub. The lower levels offer space and versatility. On the Lower level 1 there is an expansive family room, a full bath, and a private suite — perfect for extended stays or multigenerational living. One level below, Lower Level 2 features a dramatic media theater with soaring 20-foot ceilings designed for private screenings. This area, with a separate entrance flows seamlessly to the landscaped stone patios along the shore. This is a home designed by visionaries and lived in by connoisseurs. Both consecutive owners have been avid collectors of fine art, and the residence reflects their cultivated taste — offering museum-worthy lighting, gallery-quality wall space, and an ambiance that is both soulful and sophisticated.
Meticulously maintained and completely renovated in 2001, the property includes premium hardwood floors, whole house Sonos system, security, outdoor irrigation system, three-zone HVAC system and a detached oversized 2 car garage with full bath. The grounds are equally striking, with sculpted gardens, illuminated stone paths, and a private dock that invites boating, swimming, and lakeside leisure.
An extraordinary opportunity to own a home that is as inspiring as it is livable — a true collector’s piece in its own right.
