About 7575 Potomac Fall Rd
Concealed behind a stone address pillar along a quiet private road in McLean's coveted Potomac Overlooking enclave, 7575 Potomac Fall Road announces itself with quiet confidence. A sweeping cobblestone motor court winds through a cathedral canopy of mature hardwoods and Japanese maples before arriving at one of Fairfax County's most architecturally singular estates. A dramatic fieldstone arch frames custom mahogany double doors beneath a transom fanlight - a threshold that prepares you for a home of constant surprise. Designed and built in 1978 with an artist's sensibility and a craftsman's exacting standards, this extraordinary residence encompasses 9,020 finished square feet across four levels - a complete compound serving equally as private sanctuary, gallery, performance hall, and wellness retreat, all united by masterful use of fieldstone, had-selected timber, mahogany, and glass.
The vast main level - 5,748 finished square feet alone - centers on a nearly 1,000 sq. ft. family room with 19-foot vaulted ceilings and a lattice of exposed timber beams supporting a dramatic skylight grid. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and the surrounding forest, while a custom bar and wood paneling anchor the room. The adjacent living room offers its own vaulted volume, fireplace, and forest views. A chef’s kitchen is appointed with dark custom cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, a commercial-grade refrigerator, double wall ovens, and a generous island — served by a dumbwaiter for effortless multi-level living. A glass-walled breezeway bathed in skylight connects the home’s wings like a gallery passage through the canopy.
The estate’s crown jewel is its dedicated indoor pool pavilion — a freestanding timber-frame structure housing a full lap pool with integrated hot tub, wrapped on all sides by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a private bamboo grove and specimen gardens. Nothing comparable exists in this market.
The primary suite occupies its own private wing with a vaulted great room, fireplace, and a cedar-lined walk-in closet so expansive — with custom shelving on every wall from floor to ceiling — it reads as a room unto itself. An upper level delivers a sweeping 28×23 bedroom with traditional shoji screen partitions, a 25×17 loft, and treetop views. Lower levels provide a 33×29 recreation room, game room, den, cellar, and two attached garages.
Outside, stone-walled terraces, expansive wood decking, covered patios, and a curated bamboo and Japanese maple landscape compose a fully private resort setting on 1.04 wooded acres. Located minutes from the Beltway, Tysons Corner, and Georgetown Pike, and served by the sought-after Langley High School pyramid — this is a property that simply cannot be replicated.
