Property Description
Wrought-iron automatic gates open to reveal a meandering driveway leading to a cobblestone circle, upon which stands one of the Capital Region’s finest residences. Built by Sugar Oak and designed by master architect Mark Hughes, AIA with Harrison Design, 1209 Towlston is the product of a premier collaboration, offering both luxurious living and exceptional equestrian facilities.
Clad in rough-cut stone, the exterior resembles a Tuscan country estate. Verdant landscaping surrounds an intricate arched limestone entrance. Solid wooden double doors part ways to reveal a stunning rotunda with gleaming marble flooring and an artistic chandelier illuminating the space from above. Designed with a thoughtful floor plan, the main level comprises a blend of resplendent formal rooms and relaxed, informal spaces. The twelve-foot ceilings, quadruple-hinged 1¾-inch doors with crystal hardware, wide moldings, baseboards, and recessed spot lighting throughout the main level showcase the meticulous attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship invested in the construction.
A coffered ceiling and arched floor-to-ceiling windows flood the grand central living room with natural light. The formal dining room, lined with splendid floral wallpaper, can be discreetly closed off from the greeting area via pocket doors. Softly lit integrated bookcases, an intricate ceiling, and one of six roaring fireplaces create a sophisticated atmosphere in the formal library. Within the informal areas, a casual family room directly accesses the covered terrace and faces the chef’s kitchen. An 18-foot beamed cathedral ceiling highlights the scale of the chef’s kitchen, complete with a thick-edge marble island, and commercial-grade Blue Star, Fisher & Paykel, Thermador, and Sub-Zero appliances. A butler’s pantry adjoins the dining room, combined with smoked mirrors and open shelving. An extensive mudroom with pet wash and laundry facilities connects to the double-height four-car garage.
On the opposite wing of the main level, double doors part ways to reveal a chic sitting room with a wet bar leading to the primary bedroom suite. The luxurious suite overlooks verdant greens through a curved wall of windows, replete with a sumptuous marble bath and two dressing rooms, each with extensive custom shelving. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms overlook the main foyer, each featuring a built-in desk and walk-in closet; two are ensuite, and two share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The upper level is complete with convenient laundry facilities.
Designed for entertaining, the lower level features a full kitchen with integrated wine storage and bar seating, as well as a large walkout recreation room. A fitness center, spa bath with a steam shower and sauna, and a sixth-bedroom suite complete the space.
The covered patio affords separate access to a thoughtfully designed pool bath and changing room. Stepping down from the loggia is an expansive travertine patio housing the 40-foot heated pool with an electric cover and a full outdoor kitchen. Out back, five acres provide ample space for extensive equestrian facilities and incredible riding space. The comprehensive onsite horse barn contains five stables, a tack room, a separate sitting room, and a half bath, as well as a sweeping unfinished upper level with a vaulted ceiling. Behind the scenes, industrial-grade systems such as extensive Sonos and Lutron audio and visual automation, security video surveillance, and the latest in HVAC and water treatment technology create a fortress of luxury. Situated in close proximity to Washington yet filled with an overwhelming sentiment of tranquil seclusion, 1209 Towlston stands as an emblem of lavish countryside living, establishing itself as one of the Capital Region’s finest residences.
