9900 New London Dr, Potomac, MD 20854

Nestled on 2.56 acres in the coveted Eagle Ridge section of award-winning Avenel, this Potomac estate was originally designed by the renowned Natelli Homes for a prominent hotelier family who had a love of architecture, gardens, and car collecting. A graceful approach reveals the Georgian faade, evoking a sense of timeless sophistication through its symmetrical design, ivy-covered walls, and classic slate roof. Entering the grand center hall transports you to an era of old-world elegance. A bygone level of craftsmanship is evident throughout the 12,000-square-foot expanse. The arched Palladian window above is surrounded by intricate millwork, found throughout the home, and bathes the inlaid marble floors in natural sunlight.Embassy-sized formal living and dining rooms flank the reception hall, each with its intricate fireplace; two of seven in the home. The living room serves as a gateway to the conservatory with three walls of windows and soaring ceilings. A mahogany-paneled office/library with a roaring marble fireplace sits adjacent. The marble transverse gallery bisects the entire width of the main level and accesses the rear lawn via multiple sets of French doors. It connects formal and informal areas, which revolve around a modern and open kitchen. Its light cabinets and Carrara marble countertops contrast beautifully with the tile flooring. Within the kitchen is a breathtaking breakfast nook with a curved bay window that offers tranquil views of the English courtyard.
