    What's special

    An exceptional opportunity to create your dream home in one of Potomac’s most desirable locations. Whether you envision renovating the existing residence, building a custom luxury estate, or partnering with a builder for a turnkey build-to-suit experience, this property offers remarkable flexibility. For buyers seeking to build, the lengthy and complex pre-construction process has already been substantially completed. Architectural plans have been thoughtfully designed for an approximately 10,080-square-foot luxury estate, tailored to today’s discerning buyer and complemented by a professionally curated interior design vision. Floor plans and design concepts are available for review. For those preferring a more turnkey approach, a builder is available to construct the proposed home as a separate build-to-suit opportunity at the buyer’s discretion. The proposed residence is not included in the list price, and construction will be contracted separately. Estimated build pricing and timelines may be available upon request. Alternatively, the existing home offers excellent potential for renovation, expansion, or reimagining to suit your vision. Whether you choose to preserve and update the current residence or start fresh with new construction, the property provides exceptional flexibility to match your goals. Extensive due diligence and site preparation have already been completed for new construction, creating a significant advantage for buyers planning to build. Improvements include a Montgomery County Plat Exemption, utility disconnections, completed well and septic abandonment, installation of a temporary electric pole, WSSC water and sewer category approvals and connections, an approved Grading Plan, and professionally staked property boundaries and Limits of Disturbance. These completed steps allow the next owner to move efficiently toward construction while avoiding months of permitting and site work. Situated along Falls Road, the property offers convenient access to the natural beauty of Great Falls Park, with the scenic overlook just minutes away. Enjoy nearby Olmsted Island, the Billy Goat Trail, top-rated Winston Churchill High School, the shops and restaurants of Potomac Village, and easy access to major commuter routes. Whether you're looking to renovate an existing home, build a one-of-a-kind custom estate, or take advantage of an accelerated build-to-suit opportunity, this is a rare chance to secure a premier property in one of Potomac's most sought-after locations.
