Perched atop the highest point in Ruxton on 2.5 magnificent acres, “Fourwinds” is a rare and extraordinary home that blends historic charm with modern luxury. Built in 1928 by developer Bennett Darnall, this elegant residence offers breathtaking panoramic views and exquisite architectural details throughout. The thoughtfully expanded gourmet kitchen, designed by Trish Houck, features a center island, five-burner gas cooktop with downdraft fan, and a Butler’s pantry, all bathed in the warm glow of the home’s southern exposure—offering stunning sunrises in the morning and golden sunsets across the bluestone patio and sunroom. Outside, the property’s kidney shaped pool, flagstone patio, and deck with natural gas fired grill create a private oasis, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The open-concept kitchen and family room lead to a mahogany deck with a stone foundation, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living and access to the beautifully landscaped grounds. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate gatherings, the formal living and dining rooms feature wood burning fireplaces, rich hardwood floors, and elegant original moldings. Upstairs, the primary suite includes its own fireplace, seating area, an en-suite bath, and breathtaking views. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the second level, while the third floor offers two more bedrooms, a full bath, and two cedar closets. The lower level boasts a spacious recreation room, a large laundry area, and a dedicated workspace, providing ample flexibility for modern living. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage, spacious driveway, large storage shed, custom built-ins, a back staircase leading to the second and third floors. Lovingly restored, updated, and meticulously maintained by its current owners for over 33 years. Nestled in one of Ruxton’s most desirable locations, this residence offers a serene country setting with easy access to major commuting routes, schools, shopping, and dining. A Circle Road lot with BGE natural gas line to the house is included (Tax ID 1600000060). "Fourwinds" is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Ruxton’s history.
