Redskins Fan Favorite Chris Cooley Puts Leesburg Home Up For Sale

LEESBURG, VA — Welcome to the stunning estate of former Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley. The 13,054-square-foot mansion was built in 2004 and sits on almost 4 acres. This home was the first home built on the block.

While the neighborhood boasts large homes, none are as big as this modernized French manor. As you enter the home, a curved staircase with wrought iron balusters rises to the second floor in the two-story marble foyer. A stunning, 20-light chandelier hangs from the vaulted ceiling.

The foyer opens to the great room and the oversized formal dining room. The kitchen is ideally suited for entertaining. The entire kitchen boasts custom floor tile covering and has a separate walk-in pantry. The kitchen, with a breakfast bar and informal dining space, flanks a large living room with recessed lighting, a fireplace, and French doors that open to the balcony deck.

Beside the living room, you will find the formal office and library, that too opens to the balcony deck overlooking the pool. There are five large bedrooms on the upper level, each with their own private bathroom and walk-in closet.

The game and entertainment room boasts one of the homes three fireplaces, a full kitchen, and walks out to the covered patio and pool deck. Just around the corner you will find the wine tasting room with adjacent wine cellar.

As you tour the home, keep in mind many of the works of art on the walls were done by Cooley, who is an artist along with an athlete and broadcaster.

Interested buyers can tour the house during an open house on Sunday, Sept. 6.
