Gorgeous Chateau/House on 1.5 acres - in Annandale Center/ mins to Washington DC

A stunning chateau style mansion sitting on 1.5 acres of beautifully kept gardens/lawn - a truly private and peaceful oasis RIGHT IN THE CITY.

We are central to all Major DMV destinations and cities.

12 minutes to Pentagon City
15 minutes to Washington, DC
16 minutes to Tysons Corner

The home rented out is the entire main (first) and second floor which totals 4,900 sq feet.

There will be no hosts or others sharing the areas of the house above being rented out.

The basement is a separate apartment with it’s own exterior entrance/exit, driveway, parking space and even garage.

The basement is not a part of this house being rented out. The basement can not be accessed from the interior of the home.

We have a lovely couple that resides part time in the separated basement of this home. They frequently travel for work and reside here a few weeks in the month.

They cannot enter the house you will be occupying and you cannot enter the space they live. We have 100+ reviews about the property, just reach out to me if you have any questions.
—————————————
Top/Second Floor:
Master bedroom with full shower and whirlpool jetted soaking tub.

Two large spacious walk-in closets for the master bedroom.

A walk out balcony with views as far as Crystal City.

An additional private bedroom WITHIN the Master Bedroom suite, with its' own bed, nightstand, etc. - perfect for smaller children that want to stay in very close proximity to their parents. (Baby Bjorn Travel Crib available on request for nominal fee of $35 per stay - to cover cleaning and thorough sanitation of item)
Cable TV in this room.

Laundry washer and dryer is located in the Master bedroom suite.

The second bedroom has it's own private bath with shower, cable TV, a queen bed, and a walk-out balcony with the same beautiful views as the master bedroom.

The third and forth bedrooms share a jack and jill style bathroom with shower.
Each bedroom accommodates 4, with a full size bunk beds and matching twin beds. Each room has its own closet.

Main/First floor:
A 3 car garage, spacious kitchen with sun room, a formal dining room, sitting room, family room with Cable TV, and entertainment room directly connected to a covered patio/deck with grill and patio table + chairs.

We do not have any bedrooms on the main floor & there is a flight of stairs that need to be taken in order to access the second/top floor where the bedrooms are located.

There will be no hosts or others sharing the house being rented out.

The basement is not a part of this house being rented out. The basement can not be accessed from the interior of the home.

The house has a generator and the latest tankless heat water system, never have fear of being without electricity and always have hot water during your stay.

Blender & Keurig-style coffee maker with starter pods and tea is provided for all stays.

Fireplaces have all been closed for safety. A past incident left the entire house filled with smoke because the chimney damper was not opened when a fire was started. We have since closed access to the fireplaces at the property.

The gardens are absolutely lovely and instagram worthy with benches and well manicured pine trees for a peaceful evening after a long day exploring the city.

Animal-free zone: This house is an animal-free zone as the host’s elderly mother & caretaker are both asthmatic and highly allergic. We have found deep cleanings are still not able to fully rid the house of animal dander after an animal has stayed.

We hope those who end up staying will love this home as much as we do.

Great for extended family
We had a wonderful time here with our extended family of 13. The house was at a nice location for us to go explore Washington DC for a few days. The owners were excellent in their communication and I appreciated their prompt replies to any questions we had. The house worked great for us and we enjoyed our time here.

Really large, but a bit incomplete
Stayed 5 nights with 8 adults and 6 kids. Ample sleeping accommodations very large kitchen with 2 ovens and 2 microwaves for cooking for a large group and diverse meals. Excellent climate control. In sufficient silverware for a property of this size that sleeps so many. Ideal if it would have 2 dishwashers instead of one.

Ver elegant family size mansion for DC visit
Very elegant home for our multi-generational family trip to Arlington and DC. Huge kitchen and family room and with 5 bedrooms, there was room for everyone. The house sits up on a hill with a large circular driveway, so no parking issues either. We enjoyed the multiple balconies and also saw beautiful large deer on the property. Would highly recommend this home for large family gatherings.

55 year High School reunion
Very lovely, very versatile space. There were 8 of us, and it was easy and comfortable for us to gather in several different spaces at this location. We sat together in the dining room for a dinner, the kitchen for all our breakfasts, the great room for one evening of visiting and the screened in porch for a couple of other evenings of wine and visiting. Good base for our visits to DC area

Very nice property. Could use some general maintenance (loose stair rail, deck step breaking). Available rubber mat in the showers would be nice as it can be very slippery. Overall, very nice and comfortable.

DC in '23!
We spent 5 nights at the chateau for a school "intensive" trip to DC. We had excellent communication from the owner before and during the stay. Everything worked well in the home, which has attractive outside grounds. To say the chateau is roomy is an understatement. The location is quite convenient to DC and surrounding areas. Really a great experience!

Family gathering for our daughter’s wedding
The home was beautiful and exactly as shown. We would like to give a shout-out to our host who handled a difficult mechanical breakdown and made us her top priority. She made sure we were accommodated and quickly taken care of while she fixed the problem. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in this area.

Short and sweet visit
My family was in town for a short 3 day stay. The home was actually better than we expected with plenty of room/space for our large group. There is a grocery within a few miles and other shops as needed for quick stops. Getting to DC was about 20 mins too. Will use again if we revisit area.

Gorgeous Home Away From Home
We really enjoyed our stay at the Chateau with plenty of room for the 9 of us. The foosball and air hockey games were a big hit! We were unable to use the grill, however, as there is a leak in the line. Also, there is a slight problem with ants in the kitchen sink area. Other than that, everything was great. Thank you!

Expansive, lovely home near DC but with limitations
Lots of lovely space inside and out with ample seating for large groups, both at table and on couches, decks, etc. Plenty of dishes and table ware. Pillows and linens were in good supply also. Natural light is wonderful throughout, but some rooms were lacking in supplemental lighting for evening and morning hours. Our major disappointment was the bedrooms. Two rooms were super comfortable but the 2 rooms with double bunk beds had very squeaky, metal frames with thin mattresses. These didn’t work well for couples. As currently set up, the house is best for 2 couples plus kids or singles (We had four couples and 6 children).

Dream House
An absolute perfect home for a perfect trip to DC. By far the cleanest rental ever. The owner texted me to check up and provided visitor information on the local area. The house was more than big enough for our 6 adults and 5 kids. Travel to and from DC by 395 was simple and range from 15 minutes to 35 depending on traffic. Having use of the garage was a big plus. Chau( the owner) made us fill welcomed and relaxed while honestly being only a text away from helping us with the home or the area.
