1802 Forest Gate Circle

Set behind private gates on 1.4 acres at the end of a Greatwood cul-de-sac, this 11,000-square-foot English Manor estate draws on the great houses of Europe -- executed in imported hardwoods, book-matched stone, marble, granite, and slate, beneath a true slate roof. A porte-cochere and gated circular drive open to formal rooms scaled for serious entertaining, a gourmet island kitchen with a butler's pantry of uncommon size, front and rear staircases, and attached guest quarters, while the entire third floor is a single grand game room. The primary wing occupies its own realm: dual baths, a fireplace study with custom built-ins, and a private balcony over the grounds. Outside, a commercial-scale pool and fountain, spa, professional landscape lighting, and Control4 automation throughout; a four-car garage completes the estate. On the largest lot of its kind in the area, this is a residence without peer -- stately in bearing, warm in daily life, and unrepeatable in its craftsmanship.
