McLean, Virginia | Russell Firestone & Mark Lowham,  TTR Sotheby’s International Realty 

As recently reported by CNBC, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty has listed this $63 million estate in Washington, DC – the highest-priced in the greater DC area.

Reflecting timeless, modern architecture and privately positioned on a premier site overlooking the Potomac River, The Falls is the finest estate residence ever offered in the Washington region.

Previously owned by the late James Kimsey, co-founder of AOL, the more than three-acre estate affords rare privacy and is introduced via a private security and gate house which also includes staff quarters. Beyond the gates, a private drive leads to a secure arrival court and access to the underground parking garage which accommodates 30 cars.

Also, on the property is the Marden House; designed and constructed by the world-renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959, and is one of only a handful of homes in the Commonwealth of Virginia designed by the famous architect.

From the outskirts of Washington DC, we travel to Italy and the rolling hills of Florence.
