"Riverview Manor," Offered at U.S. $12.98 Million, Enjoys Rare, 5-Acre Setting along the Potomac River

McLean, Virginia – “Riverview Manor,” a six-bedroom, eight and two half-bath estate, appropriately named for its commanding five-acre position along the banks of the Potomac River in McLean, Virginia, is now being exclusively marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network.

Offered at $12,980,000 by exclusive affiliate Long & Foster Real Estate, the Georgian-style property affords private, tranquil living from the confines of a highly sought-after suburb near Washington, D.C. With its close proximity to area airports, government, cultural and civic centers, the estate is well-situated within reach of the city, yet comfortably removed from the flurry of activity.

“Breathtaking river views define this magnificent estate, which, coupled with its secluded location, is easily likened to a resort-style retreat,” said Kathleen Coumou, Senior Vice President, Northeast Regional Manager of Christie’s International Real Estate. “With its lush grounds, elegant architecture and renowned setting, Riverview Manor presents a unique opportunity for those buyers seeking the utmost in privacy and quality craftsmanship.”

Through a gated entry, the approach to the estate’s columned portico emphasizes its unmistakable grandeur. A marble foyer with a curved staircase opens to a spacious, well-appointed interior, complemented by soaring ceilings with paired chandeliers, multiple sconces, cove lighting, arches, pilasters and cornice moldings. The estate’s great room features precision millwork, coffered gold-leaf ceilings and arched two-story windows that frame views of the Potomac. There is additionally a classically appointed cherrywood library and a kitchen with cherrywood cabinets, Viking dual-fuel ovens, Fisher-Paykel and KitchenAid dishwashers and Sub-Zero refrigerators.

Accessible by elevator or grand staircase, Riverview Manor’s upper level provides panoramic vistas of the water. The master suite has a private balcony, sitting room with a fireplace, kitchenette and a marble master bath with a freestanding tub, columns and a gold-leaf barrel ceiling. Additional bedroom suites each include a private bath. There is also a 21-seat theater, temperature-controlled wine cellar and a bar on the home’s lower level.

“This is an unparalleled property – a haven for relaxation and serenity,” added Marianne Polk, the listing agent with Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate Long & Foster. “Here, and from all levels, residents can enjoy ever-changing, expansive river views, 12 months out of the year.”

Lush grounds feature an infinity pool, tiered patios and a pool house equipped with sitting and dining areas, a kitchenette and fireplace. A private guest house serves as an additional venue for hosting family and guests.
