HICKORY HILLS 1147CHAIN BRIDGE ROAD MCLEAN, VIRGINIA
The allure of this six-acre estate lies in its history, architecture and its pastoral yet convenient location. The Robert F. Kennedy estate for over fifty years, the property was also home to President and Mrs. Kennedy and served as the Civil War headquarters of Gen. George McClellan. Although renovated and expanded in the 1960's, the home's antebellum appeal has been preserved. The front steps of the 10,500 square-foot house were transported from George Washington's Mount Vernon and its original pine floors have been retained. There are thirteen bedrooms and eight baths. The formal living and dining rooms open to flagstone terraces offering scenic vistas of the grounds where amid the lawns, towering trees and American boxwoods sit a stable, tennis courts, swimming pool and pool house.
