Description

This regal 1950s Colonial, named Eagle Gate, sits atop a knoll overlooking 6.34 pastoral acres on the east side of Winchester. This elegant home dazzles with nearly 4,000 finished square feet, three levels, five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an expansive garage, a swimming pool, and renovations and updates that elevate the living experience to decadent.

Majestic pillars are the hallmark of the handsome façade, but the entire home and grounds are thoughtful, inviting, and pleasing. The standout architectural features begin on the exterior, and when you walk into the grand foyer, you’ll glimpse the elegant paint and wall covering choices, rich hardwood floors, and trim details you’ll find throughout the home. The living room allows for ample furniture configurations and is centered by a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room is spacious enough for a large table and
chairs, complementary buffets or display cabinets and the dentil molding, chair rail, and trio of colors adds style. The kitchen is a dream with bright white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, granite counters, and top-of-the-line appliances, which are integrated seamlessly. The Wolf stove features a gas range and is flanked by a microwave and a Bosch warming drawer. A butcher block-topped island with seating provides additional workspace and storage, matching an additional display cabinet. The den departs visually with its warm, wood-paneled walls, built-ins, and exposed ceiling beams, is flooded with natural light, plus finds added ambiance from a gas fireplace. The sunroom captivates with its light and airy space, plus French doors that open to the fenced outdoor patio. There’s room for lounging and dining and with its gas fireplace and wet bar, you’ll enjoy this leisurely space year-round. A chic half-bath rounds out this level.
Upstairs, the owner’s suite affords space for bedroom and sitting or dressing room furniture amidst soothing colors and comes with dual closets. The luxurious ensuite, lined with tile and marble elements, contains a water closet, soaking tub, walk-in shower, vanity, and plentiful storage, and leads to a private outdoor deck. There are two more lavish bedrooms, which contain custom closets and built-ins, with a full bath. The top level also holds two more large bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room to utilize however you wish. The partially finished basement provides dedicated storage, wine storage, an extra refrigerator, laundry facilities, and a full bath, along with space for exercise equipment or entertainment.
Step into your backyard oasis, where you’ll enjoy a refreshing pool that’s surrounded by a hardscaped terrace ready for lounges and outdoor dining. The hot tub is nearby, conveniently placed on the patio. The adjacent three-bay garage not only gives you room for your vehicles and other storage, but a covered porch along one side of the pool. A smaller outbuilding is perfect for pool or garden storage. A lower-placed barn is perfect for a workshop, studio, or additional storage.

The acreage is an unusual amenity for a property on the east side of town. Since it borders Abrams Creek, you’re awarded access to this beautiful creek, and the lush lawn and mature hardwoods offer resplendent views and areas to roam, play, and entertain. Located across from the Winchester Country Club and down the street from Jim Barnett Park places you close to downtown and every amenity the city offers, and it includes public water and sewer with natural gas. Beautifully renovated and maintained, this remarkable, uncommon real estate opportunity isn’t likely to be on the market long.
