PRICE Improvement - Pendleton. Presenting an exquisite stone residence designed by Howard Frazier Baldwin for LTC Wm. Armistead Pendleton, III in 1937. With an extensive, unparalleled renovation in 2008 and thoughtful additional upgrades from then on, this grand residence is an evolving fusion of classical architecture and contemporary elegance situated atop a grassy knoll in Ruxton. It is a sanctuary of tranquility, secluded within 2.73 acres of a flawlessly designed landscape featuring sweeping lawns, mature vegetation and meticulously curated formal gardens with an extraordinary pool setting.  Enter the main entrance and embrace the harmonious blend of traditional architectural elements coupled with striking modern enhancements. The graceful curved archways, sky-high window walls, gleaming lacquered wet bar and superior custom cabinetry throughout is a delight to the discerning homeowner while the advanced lighting and sound systems add an appreciable level of refinement. The main level consists of a foyer with a newly built custom designed alcove with banquette seating and wall sconces, a formal living room overlooking the outdoor dining pavilion and in-ground, heated pool, a separate, elegant dining room and a dreamy chef’s kitchen replete with a distinctive Provence Blue La Cornue stove. Adjacent to the kitchen and dining room is a soaring addition with window-clad walls, a lavish lacquered bar, a cozy petite dining area and a family room with a gas fireplace flanked by custom cabinetry. The two upper levels provide five generously sized bedrooms and four full baths. The Primary Suite exudes an understated grandeur with an abundance of custom designed functional lighted cabinetry and a refuge-like Primary bath. The remaining four bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, offer ample space for family and friends. All are comprised of exquisite finishes, custom cut and bound carpeting and superior design elements that speak to both the traditional and modern tastes.  The owner of this exceptional property will also enjoy a magnificent two story Pool House that is truly an architectural masterpiece! The covered porch welcomes you inside to a bright interior main level with an open living room area with vaulted ceilings and a wood burning fireplace, a full kitchen with island and a large dining area encircled by tall windows and banquette seating. There is also a beautiful full bath with a walk-in shower and tastefully designed personal cubbies. Another full-size wet bar complete the entertaining ensemble. The lower level houses ample room for another bedroom, home gym or ultimate game zone and a quaint potting room for the avid gardener. Finally, the car collector’s two story garage provides every amenity associated with the hobby and additional space on the upper level to design a separate guest suite for weekend or holiday visitors. If you ever do leave this paradise, you will most assuredly always look forward to coming home! EXCLUDED: Drapery treatment in the Dining Room. Sold AS IS.
