$4.25 Million Gets You 'A Home For All Seasons' In Rockville

This house on Highland Farm Road in Rockville has eight bedrooms, 12,278 square feet, and sits on four acres.

ROCKVILLE, MD — The builders of this home are said to have taken inspiration from Marshall Fields' Polo Stable in Huntington, New York and Jacobean architecture, but the gardens, long hallways and ornate sitting rooms look more like scenes from the Palace of Versailles.

The 1986 home has been on Realtor.com for 10 days and the owners are asking for $4.25 million. They've already gotten an offer and a sale is pending.

The house has eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, an indoor pool in the master wing, and an extra master suite. The grounds have the spring fed pond — which is recirculating — a koi pond, a three-tiered fountain, an outdoor heated pool and a bocci ball court.

Dark wood, floral wallpaper and high ceilings are a few things you can expect as you walk through the home. Its brick exterior is stately, with steps leading up to an elevated patio before the entrance.

Readers will enjoy the library, with built-in bookcases and an in-room spiral staircase leading to a loft with armchairs overlooking the room. If books aren't your thing, head to the indoor pool with a hot tub or the game room on the first floor, where the current owners have a pool table.
