6501 BRIGHT MOUNTAIN ROAD

MCLEAN, VA 22101

Rising above the rolling hills of McLean, Virginia, Bright Mountain Estate earns its name. Anchored by a sweeping boulder-clad drive and perched atop its own hill, the estate commands presence and privacy, an architectural summit overlooking 5.3 secluded acres. At more than 21,000 square feet, it is not simply a residence, but a landmark of design and ambition, brought to life by the visionary team behind Ambar. Seamlessly uniting bold contemporary architecture with timeless sophistication, it sets a new benchmark in McLean living and stands as one of the Capital Region’s most significant compounds. A winding private drive unfolds into a grand approach, culminating in a broad motor court that underscores the estate’s commanding stature. The exterior, defined by concrete stucco, Vermont slate roofing, and copper detailing, conveys strength and permanence, softly illuminated in the evenings for a striking arrival. Through towering glass doors, the entry hall reveals formal living and dining salons, each anchored by sleek floating fireplaces. Subtle architectural accents, including baseboard lighting, designer fixtures, and Lutron-controlled illumination, balance refinement with warmth. At the center of the home, the great room rises to 28-foot vaulted ceilings. Walls of glass frame sweeping views of sculpted grounds, creating a dramatic yet inviting focal point. The adjoining chef’s kitchen, anchored by a La Cornue range, European cabinetry, and a Miele suite, is designed for both artistry and entertaining. A concealed spice kitchen expands functionality with additional prep space for seamless hosting. The main-level primary suite captures the essence of a retreat. With tranquil garden views, a spa bath with a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, dual vanities, and bespoke dressing rooms with concealed storage, it evokes five-star accommodations. This level also offers a gentleman’s library, private study, and two powder rooms. Upstairs, a second primary suite provides sanctuary with a fireplace-warmed sitting area opening to a terrace. Its ensuite bath features a shower room with six Riobel heads, while the dual-sided dressing room is lined with bespoke cabinetry. Four additional bedroom suites, each with private sitting areas and baths, complete the level. The lower level transforms into an entertainment destination. A cinema with surround sound, a full wet bar, and a 3,000+ sqft recreation lounge offer space for gatherings. A glass-enclosed wine cellar doubles as art piece, discreetly concealing a safe room. For the automobile connoisseur, the estate’s twin double-height garages are fully climate-controlled and lift-ready, accommodating eight vehicles with direct connection to the residence. Outdoors, the estate extends its resort-inspired living. The heated marble-clad pool features a spa, tanning ledge, underwater seating, LED lighting, and a cascading waterfall with fire feature. A fire-pit lounge and climate-controlled pool house with Wolf fryer, retractable hood, Porcelanosa fireplace, full bar, and heated cabana bath elevate outdoor entertaining year-round. Behind the elegance lies uncompromising infrastructure. With 600 amps of power, six Carrier HVAC systems, dual instant Rheem water heaters, copper plumbing, a CAT generator, Honeywell security with 16 cameras, and full-home URC automation integrating sound, climate, and lighting, the estate blends modern efficiency with absolute reliability. Just minutes from Tysons Corner and Washington, DC, Bright Mountain Estate is not merely a home, but a pinnacle. A landmark of vision, craftsmanship, and scale, it was conceived as a generational compound, destined to endure among the Capital Region’s most iconic addresses.
