Meriden – Potomac, MD

About This Home

Meriden is a whimsical red brick tudor complimented by a modern interior. Its classic exterior is an embodiment of old-world Potomac, meticulous in detail and elegant in proportion, giving way to a thoroughly modern interior which still manages to capture the home’s original charm. In a stark juxtaposition to the traditional tudor ethos, the interiors are bright and airy, enhanced by natural light flooding in from every single brand-new window. Wide plank espresso domestic oak floors flow throughout, establishing a contemporary cohesion which sets the tone for the rest of the fully reimagined space. The banquet sized formal dining room boasts intricate millwork, sophisticated curved crown moldings, and clever hidden storage solutions. Complementing it is a walk-in temperature -controlled wine room. The chef’s kitchen echoes this level of practicality and usability — commercial 8-burner Viking range, twin dishwashers, quartz waterfall countertops, and a pass-through to the stunning conservatory help to create a dream space for any chef, whether domestic or professional. Said conservatory, under its glass roof laced with detailed metalwork, is unarguably the home’s showstopper.

A set of French doors affords direct outdoor access and seamlessly blends into an ethereal window wall. A modern feature wall complements ornate detail framing the entryway. The main level primary suite is of a caliber which matches the rest of the home. Its spa-inspired marble bath boasts an oversized shower lined in luxurious Bianco Puro marble tile as well as a floating freestanding tub. Upstairs, a second primary suite once again offers sumptuous accommodation via a designer bath and dual walk-in closets complete with built-ins and a large center island in one of these spacious closets. Secondary bedrooms have not been neglected and are each ample in scale, serviced by unique baths, each featuring stylish, modern tile design. Intricate tile is also a highlight in the conveniently located laundry room, completing the upper level. Throughout the home, a wifi-enabled Control4 system manages surround sound, while a new roof and HVAC units provide a sense of security.

This sense of security continues outside, with new sod and a full French drainage system surrounding the property. Stepping outside of the large screened-in porch with cathedral ceilings, an entirely renovated pool, complete with a new energy-efficient heater and flagstone surround, offers a stunning supplement to the lush green backdrop. Unparalleled in its close-in location minutes away from major airports, world-class dining, first-rate entertainment, and superior shopping, not to mention some of the very best public and private schools in the nation, Meriden is a thoroughly unique home and fantastically rare opportunity.
