About this home
Welcome to 1513 Highwood Drive — a warm and inviting 5-bedroom, 5 full bath, 1 half bath residence nestled in the heart of the coveted Chain Bridge Forest community in McLean, just one stoplight to Washington, DC. Sited on one of the neighborhood's larger lots at .39 acres, this exceptional home is framed by mature, professionally landscaped grounds and anchored by a private swimming pool, offering a rare combination of space, serenity, and accessibility.
Gracious proportions, curated finishes, and thoughtful stewardship come together across three beautifully finished levels with over 6400sf, blending spacious living, myriad updates, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces designed for today's lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, solid cherrywood entry doors and a beautifully refreshed foyer — featuring marble-inspired luxury tile and classic millwork — set the tone for the home's refined yet welcoming aesthetic.
Inside, a gracious main level unfolds with multiple living spaces ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed kitchen features crisp white cabinetry with soft-close hinges, quartzite countertops with distinctive veining and full-height backsplash, complemented by a 6-burner Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The adjacent family room with a wood-burning fireplace and sunlit breakfast room opens to a private brick terrace, seamlessly extending your living space outdoors. A stately library and a generous living room warmed by a wood-burning fireplace — provide additional spaces for quiet moments or lively gatherings, while the grand formal dining room sets the stage for truly memorable occasions.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own fireplace in the expansive dressing area — a space that adapts beautifully as a sitting room, study, or optional fifth upstairs bedroom. The spa-inspired primary bath features dual vanities, an oversized jetted soaking tub, frameless glass shower, skylight, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-in organizers. Two additional bedrooms offer exceptional flexibility, including one en-suite option, along with a distinctive loft-style fourth bedroom complete with its own full bath and private staircase access to the mudroom and garage — ideal for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living.
The fully finished lower level — with impressive 8'10" ceilings — further enhances the home's versatility with a spacious recreation room, a dedicated media room with built-in speakers, and a bright sunroom that opens directly to an expansive flagstone patio. An optional bedroom and full bath provide comfortable accommodations for guests or serve equally well as a home office or fitness space.
Outdoors is one of the true highlights of Highwood. A freeform swimming pool with brick coping anchors the gated backyard, surrounded by extensive specimen plantings and lush mature landscaping — a private oasis designed for warm-weather entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Multiple terrace and patio spaces invite al fresco dining, lounging, and relaxed summer living.
Ideally situated within the highly sought-after Chesterbrook Elementary, Longfellow Middle, and McLean High School pyramid, and moments from parks, nature trails, and premier commuter routes, 1513 Highwood Drive brings together the very best of convenience, community, and neighborhood character.
This is more than a home — it's a place to live beautifully, entertain effortlessly, and create lasting memories....
