About This Home
Architectural Distinction and Luxurious Living in Potomac Falls! Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind residence nestled in a serene cul-de-sac-like setting in prestigious Potomac Falls. Location, Privacy. Set on a quiet, cul-de-sac-like enclave, this exceptional residence offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and proximity to the region’s most desirable destinations. Originally expanded and redesigned by Robert G. Melby, the home reflects a thoughtful balance of timeless architecture and modern livability. A circular driveway creates a striking arrival experience, leading into interiors defined by soaring ceilings, expansive glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Natural light fills the home, framing views of professionally landscaped grounds and a resort-style pool. The kitchen is purpose-built for both daily living and large-scale entertaining, featuring dual islands, professional-grade Sub-Zero refrigeration, an integrated wine storage system, and extensive custom cabinetry. Labradorite blue granite countertops add a distinctive, high-end finish. The lower level includes a dedicated home theater with custom finishes, offering a private, cinema-quality experience. Outdoor living is equally well-considered. A columned breezeway connects to a two-level pool house with three full baths—ideal for guests, extended stays, or private retreat space. Despite its secluded setting, the property remains highly connected—just minutes from Bethesda, Tysons Corner, McLean, Georgetown and Capital Beltway —delivering both convenience and discretion.

Potomac is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Maryland, spread across rolling terrain just northwest of Washington, D.C. and named for the nearby Potomac River. About a 30-minute drive from downtown D.C. via the Clara Barton Parkway, and within easy reach of Bethesda and the Tysons business district in Northern Virginia, it offers a leafy, low-density suburban setting. Daily life centers on Potomac Village, a cluster of shops and restaurants at the intersection of Falls Road (MD-189) and River Road (MD-190), while the C&O Canal and the Great Falls of the Potomac provide a dramatic natural edge to the community. What began as a rural farming area in the 18th century transformed into a D.C. suburb during the postwar suburbanization of the 1950s. Housing is dominated by owner-occupied single-family homes on generous lots, so the rental market is comparatively limited and skews toward larger single-family houses and townhomes.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
