The estate of Barbara Suzanne Caldwell and George Kenneth Brobeck has sold their residence at 4921 Rockwood Parkway, NW in Spring Valley for $3.3 million.

Her husband, to whom she was married for 58 years, died in 2006.

The stately six-bedroom, six bath Tudor-style dwelling was built in 1931 and features an impressive living room with a beamed ceiling, fireplace and leaded-glass windows. The formal dining room has a tray ceiling, hardwood floors, wall sconces and a stone alcove showcasing a fountain. French doors open to a screened porch beyond which lies a flagstone patio and stone walkway leading to the rear garden and a heated two-car garage. William F. X.
