Leesburg 'WOW' House: As Told By Mary Roberge

LEESBURG, VA — When Mary Roberge speaks, people listen. That's because the area real estate agent is not given to random hyperbole. For proof, here's what she has to say about this new listing on Realtor.com: "This home may have the most breathtaking 360 views of any property in Leesburg (and) of not only Virginia but Maryland."

See? Judge for yourself, though, in the following lovingly crafted description provided by Realtor.com, no doubt with an assist from Roberge: "A custom piece of artwork majestically sits proudly like a “crow’s nest” on an exceptional 36 acres in beautiful Big Spring Farm which runs along the Potomac River. Its pride fills your senses as it shows you the quality, distinction and tranquility that went into its customization. The floor plan is one-of-a-kind, designed to capture the outdoors at every turn . . . it is a place of style with natural finishes, all aesthetically pleasing.

"Bringing pride to its builder, Dale Schulz, this estate home is hand-crafted in stone on all sides and exudes ultimate privacy, a gorgeous hardscape filled with unique niches and subtle surprises. When you visit this private property, enjoy wind chimes as the gentle breezes pass by, take in the beauty of Loudoun County’s topography and experience views like no other across the Potomac River into Maryland.

"Envision a walk along the Potomac River on trails owned by the Big Spring Farm community, meandering rare Trout streams, and to Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park which is adjacent to the property. All of these special features, including the historic White’s Ferry, are why Big Spring is coveted by its homeowners.

"The worldly details of this home include customization in several natural woods and ceramics - some of the finishes include Black Walnut, Wormy Chestnut, Mahogany, Heart-Pine, Red Oak, Ipe, Oak and Travertine Marble flooring. Each level invites you to relax - whether that is around a fireplace or by taking in the spectacular views and natural light of each well-positioned window. A very special Pub is in the lower level which enjoys post and beam ceilings, a second stone fireplace and a custom granite bar. This room is as unique as the home itself and takes you away to another time and place.

"The exterior stonework and patio areas/decking – are accented with exterior lighting. More details can be found on my web site maryroberge.com. The expansive acreage is ideal for more of the award-winning grapes that are currently being grown on a neighboring property’s vineyard. The acreage is rare and sought-after, so close to historic downtown Leesburg in a community with no through streets. Big Spring was designed as an Equestrian Community with horses in the subdivision and walking/riding trails."

See? When Mary Roberge speaks, people listen. Maybe because she knows exactly of what she speaks.
