Welcome to Edgehill Estate—an extraordinary residence that embodies timeless elegance and modern luxury in the heart of Oakton. Set on 11 beautifully landscaped acres, this stately, oversized brick and stone colonial—inspired by the historic Carter’s Grove—offers over 20,000 square feet of meticulously designed living space. This grand residence masterfully blends classic American Colonial design with the highest level of modern luxury, technology, and artisan detail.

Every inch reflects unparalleled craftsmanship—from hand-carved Chesney mantels imported from London to walls hand-painted by a famed Hollywood designer. A formal foyer sets the tone with coffered ceilings, a foot of crown molding, custom millwork, plaster medallions, mahogany inlays, and antique wall sconces, guiding you into the heart of the home.

The Primary Suite is a wing of its own, featuring dual dressing rooms, a sitting room with coffee bar, a spa-inspired marble bath with a steam shower, a fireplace, and balcony access overlooking the grounds. Designed for both everyday comfort and extraordinary entertaining, the estate includes a chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances; multiple living rooms, a library, a home gym, a steam room, a sauna, a jetted hot tub spa room, and access to one of the largest residential pools in Fairfax County with grotto waterfall, fire bowls, infinity edge, and slide.

The resort-style grounds offer travertine throughout, pergolas, an alfresco outdoor kitchen, a tennis court, multiple fire features, and a three-tiered fountain, surrounded by lush landscaping that blooms year-round. A 13-car garage complex, guest house, elevators, and commercial-grade generator ensure the highest level of comfort, privacy, and preparedness.

Edgehill Estate is more than a home—it’s a legacy property offering an unmatched lifestyle of privacy, prestige, and timeless beauty.

Selling a home is a lot more than taking good photos and putting it on the MLS. 🏡

Good marketing pulls a lot of things together at once.

It’s knowing what buyers in the area care about, understanding which features deserve the spotlight, having a network of agents and local connections to get the word out, and using social media to show the home in a way that feels bigger than a listing page.

That’s where the strategy comes in.

Because a buyer might first notice the home because of the kitchen, the backyard, the location, or one small detail that finally makes them stop scrolling.

Our job is to know what those details are, how to highlight them, and how to keep building interest around the home once it hits the market.

That’s what marketing a home should feel like to me. Thoughtful, intentional, and built around getting the right eyes on it.

If you’re thinking about selling in Virginia, Washington, DC or Maryland, comment or message us "SELL" and we will send you our seller guide and walk you through how we would approach marketing your home.

Selling a luxury home is about more than putting a beautiful property on the market and waiting for the right buyer to come along.

Luxury buyers are paying close attention to the details — how the home is positioned, how it’s presented, what makes it different, and whether the experience matches the price.

That’s why luxury marketing requires more than professional photography and a listing on the MLS. It takes thoughtful preparation, strategic pricing, compelling storytelling, targeted exposure, and a clear understanding of who the buyer is and what will make them act.

Because when a luxury home isn’t getting the response you expected, the answer isn’t always to simply wait. It may be the price, presentation, positioning, or the way the property’s value is being communicated.

The goal is to make every part of the selling experience feel as considered as the home itself.

Looking for a real estate agent who actually knows McLean, VA?

There’s a big difference between knowing what a listing says about an area and knowing how that area actually lives.

Spending years in McLean gives you context you can’t pull from a search.

You notice how neighborhoods change, which pockets people tend to overlook, what matters more in a local home than buyers might expect, and the details that can completely change how someone feels about a property once they’re actually there.

That perspective shapes the advice we give every day. We are not just looking at what’s available.

We are thinking about how a home fits into the bigger picture of living here and what deserves a closer look before you make a decision.

You can learn plenty about McLean online. Knowing the area firsthand fills in the parts the listing can’t tell you.

If you’re thinking about making a move in McLean, send us a message and tell us what you’re looking for.

We are The Shively Team, McLean locals and real estate advisors.

If you told me you had a $2M–$5M budget in Northern Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, DC and wanted to know where we would start looking, these are the neighborhoods I’d walk you through first.

Not because they’re “the best,” but because at this price point, each one offers a very different version of the DMV.

Think: privacy and acreage, walkability and city access, established neighborhoods, architectural character, or a true country lifestyle.

At $2M–$5M, the question becomes less “Where can I afford?” and more “What do I want my everyday life to look like?”

Because $3M in McLean can look very different from $3M in Georgetown.

The right answer depends on what matters most to you.

Comment or DM “MOVE” and we’ll help you figure out which neighborhood we would look at first—and send you our full breakdown of luxury neighborhoods across the DMV.

Overthinking a real estate decision in the Washington, DC area? Start here. 👉

Real estate has a funny way of making even confident people question every move.

Timing, price, market conditions, emotions, outside opinions, and the fear of getting it wrong can all start competing for attention at once.

The goal is to know which questions are actually useful, which ones are just noise, and what information should guide the next decision.

That’s where having a clear strategy matters. You don’t need someone telling you everything will be fine. You need someone who can help you make sense of what’s happening and decide what deserves your attention.

If real estate has your brain doing laps lately, send me a message at @theshivelyteam and we’ll turn the questions into a plan.
