Property Description

Federal Hill: Since the early 19th century, the village of Langley has been an important crossroads linking the City of Washington to Virginia and points west. Federal Hill was part of the expansive Langley Estate named by Thomas Lee for his ancestral estate in England. Today, the next great chapter of this historic estate is being written. With a keen eye on its important heritage, Federal Hill is a new estate residence which reflects classic architectural lines and timeless materials of stone, copper and slate. Inside, the residence features the most modern and luxurious amenities fitting a world-class estate residence. Positioned on a prominent hilltop, Federal Hall commands views in all directions. The main residence encompasses over 20,000 sf finished with the finest materials including hardwood floors, marble, and plaster. The impressive main entry hall is spacious and designed to accommodate large receptions which flow easily to the great room overlooking the pool and gardens beyond. The main chef's kitchen is a culinary showplace while the separate catering kitchen will accommodate both catering and daily requirements. Throughout, seven exceptional bedrooms with en-suite baths provide ample accommodations. The primary suite encompasses an entire wing of the house and features a separate sitting room with a fireplace, an expansive bedroom with a fireplace, a coffee bar, and two exceptionally large dressings rooms. The primary bath is warmed by a fireplace adjacent to the soaking tub, steam shower and dual water closets. On the third level, a grand ballroom is complimented by a wet bar and a self-contained cigar room with a dedicated smoke exhaust and ventilation system. An elevator services all four levels of the estate. On the lower level, a spa befitting any five-star resort includes a dry sauna, steam room, massage room, and complete exercise room. A home theatre, billiards room and entertaining room add to the long list of amenities on this level. A separate staff room with a private entrance is also located on this level. Outdoors, a world-class pool, spa, entertaining pavilion, and private putting green punctuate the expansive lawn and gardens. Just beyond, a separate carriage house built in the 18th century but thoroughly renovated to exacting historical standards affords opportunities for a separate office, guest quarters, or simply a quiet place to escape. Federal Hill embraces its 19th century heritage with a nod to the most luxurious amenities and features of a modern 21st century residence. Unquestionably, history will continue to be written at this exceptional estate.
