Estate of the Week
By
Lynne Shallcross
Published Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Where: 3905 44th Street North, McLean
Listing Price: $7,995,000
Time on Market: 20 days
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 10
Details: The owner, an area builder, traveled to Europe to study the architecture of fine homes there. Though the estate’s located in the Chain Bridge/Gold Coast section of McLean, it’s reminiscent of French chateaus built centuries ago and could easily sit atop a hill in Provence.
Iron and stone gates imported from Europe lead the way to the house, which sits on the Potomac with four levels of balconies, a wrap-around terrace overlooking the river, a Spanish-clay tile roof, and a three-car garage. The 11,700-square-foot home has hardwood and stone floors, a two-story library, an exercise room with an attached steam room and sauna, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, a wine cellar, a media room, a billiard room, 12-foot ceilings, and a radiant-heat floor in the master bath.

According to Arlington county website for real estate assessment, the home was built by David G. Decker of the Decker Development Company and the property was purchased by Steve M. Martin. Beautiful House!

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.
