Welcome to 9721 Sorrel Avenue — A Landmark Potomac Estate Where Architectural Artistry Meets Exceptional Living Designed by renowned architect John Leslie Neufeld, this extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive estate in one of Potomac’s most prestigious and private settings. Defined by dramatic architectural lines, sweeping curves, and grand proportions, the home delivers both impressive scale and warm livability. From the moment you arrive, the property makes a lasting impression with a 100-year genuine slate roof, elegant circular driveway, and a separate private motor court, all set within beautifully landscaped grounds that create a sense of arrival and exclusivity. Inside, expansive light-filled interiors showcase soaring ceilings, custom plaster moldings, rich hardwood floors, and intricate millwork. Designed for both grand entertaining and everyday comfort, the main level features gracious formal living and dining rooms alongside a stunning sun-drenched family room with walls of windows and an expansive skylight. At the center of the home is the chef’s kitchen, thoughtfully designed with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, a generous island, and a convenient rear staircase connecting the living spaces seamlessly. One of the home’s most remarkable highlights is the hand-carved walnut library, a true work of art that adds warmth, character, and architectural distinction rarely found today. The residence also offers exceptional lifestyle amenities, including a disco lounge, golf simulator room, and game room, creating unforgettable spaces for entertaining and recreation. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat with a sitting area, marble fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and dual walk-in closets. Each additional bedroom is generously sized with its own en-suite bath, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests. The walk-out lower level offers flexible living space ideal for a home theater, fitness studio, guest quarters, or extended-stay accommodations. Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a copper-roof gazebo, fountain with classical statuary, expansive entertaining terrace, and manicured grounds surrounded by mature trees, creating a peaceful and private estate setting. Ideally located near Potomac Village, top-rated schools, parks, and major commuter routes, this home combines architectural significance with everyday convenience. 9721 Sorrel Avenue is more than a residence — it is a statement of design, craftsmanship, and lifestyle rarely available in today’s market. Experience a home that is truly unforgettable.
