Welcome to 204 River Park Drive, a picturesque Neo-Victorian residence set on a beautifully manicured 1.72 acre lot in the heart of Great Falls. The property features a 20x40 swimming pool, a large poolside gazebo, stacked stone walls, flagstone garden paths, and lush landscaping with outdoor lighting-creating a private outdoor retreat ideal for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Just minutes from River Bend Golf & Country Club, Great Falls Village, and major routes to Reston and Dulles, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern living.
Built in 1984 and inspired by vintage floorplan books, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home with a three-car garage embodies the spirit of America's “Painted Ladies” while offering 7,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space.
Inside, period details abound, including four wood-burning fireplaces with antique mantels, custom-milled solid oak trim and doors, Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper, stained glass windows, and a 150-year-old front door with Victorian hinges. A grand cherry staircase-reconstructed using parts from an 1880s Washington D.C. hotel-adds timeless character to the entryway and connects all three levels.
The main level offers formal living and dining rooms, a library, a family room with wood-paneled accents, and a recently updated sun-filled kitchen with granite countertops, oak cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The breakfast area and sunroom overlook the expansive deck and backyard oasis.
Upstairs, the primary suite features five windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and an updated bathroom with a cast iron soaking tub, frameless marble shower, and double vanity with honed marble countertops. All additional bedrooms include ensuite baths, walk-in closets, and unique architectural elements such as skylights, stained glass, or retractable awnings. The finished top level includes a turreted studio with Palladian windows, a raised platform, and five cedar closets. This space has multi functional use - a studio, bedroom, exercise or playroom.
The walk-out lower level includes a rec room with a fireplace, wet bar, and pool table, plus a guest space, den, and ample storage. Additional features include a wrap-around porch, updated Trex deck, screened gazebo, whole-house generator, and multiple system upgrades.
