Castlewood Where History Was Made. Where Legends Live On. Some homes are built. Castlewood was composed - a French Normandy manor conceived as a work of art and executed by hands of extraordinary skill, standing sentinel on nearly two private acres and bordering almost seven acres of untouched Cedar Run woodland. This is not simply real estate. This is provenance. An Icon, From the Ground Up At 10,000 meticulously crafted square feet, Castlewood is engineered like a fortress and finished like a treasure. Structural steel I-beams form its bones, wrapped in the masterful brickwork of Archie Holleman and adorned with the legendary ironwork of Danny Hurwitz - the same hands entrusted with restoring the gates of the White House. Enter through a 200-pound hand-carved oak door and step into a soaring, 40-foot tower foyer that takes your breath away before you've taken ten steps. A grand staircase worthy of Gone with the Wind rises before you, while above, a rare Romeo-and-Juliet balcony frames an authentic coat of arms dated circa 1629 - a piece of history that predates the founding of this nation. Hand-hewn woodwork and 250-year-old yellow pine floors run throughout, lending every room the warmth and romance of classic English architecture, while soaring proportions and thoughtfully designed living spaces make Castlewood as effortless to entertain in as it is extraordinary to behold. Pass through 9-foot antique church pocket doors into a bespoke executive library - hand-crafted entirely from a single, select cherry tree, its mantel a walnut match to the storied Georgetown Club. Elite Amenities, Elevated Living The kitchen is a chef's dream: rich marble counters, custom cherry cabinetry, and antique brick accents that whisper old-world charm while delivering every modern convenience. Descend the spiral staircase into a wine cellar unlike any other on earth - its brick floor reclaimed from the very Gettysburg sidewalk where Abraham Lincoln once delivered his address. Few homes offer a wine cellar. None offer this one. Upstairs, retreat to a sprawling primary suite sanctuary complete with a fireplace, dual bathrooms, and a body-massage jet shower with heated seat - a private spa built for daily indulgence. Additional lifestyle amenities include: A billiard room and art studio beneath soaring high-beamed ceilings An authentic Finnish sauna, custom-built from South African wood A multi-zone radiant heat system for year-round comfort Botanical Perfection, Just Beyond Your Door Step outside and the artistry continues. Professionally curated grounds unfold like a living masterpiece - a handmade brick veranda overlooking a breathtaking botanical sanctuary of 16 magnificent Japanese maples, a flourishing persimmon tree, elegant camellias, and vibrant seasonal blooms, all flowing gracefully into dedicated organic kitchen gardens. Beyond your private oasis, the lifestyle continues: community tennis and pickleball courts, and access to miles of running, walking, and biking trails along the Washington & Old Dominion Trail.
