These 5.3 Bucolic Rolling Acres are home to one of the most storied homes in Virginia history.

The main home presents 5 bedrooms, including a main level master bedroom suite, and 3 and a half baths.

Watergate preview
catered by Purple Onion
When distinguished guests gather to preview the Watergate... it’s still the Winston Real Estate Team, which received awards for being #1 in sales in Washington, DC and top 5% in the nation, who is there to welcome them. Whether it’s opening day in 1965 when Henry Winston, President of Watergate Management, successfully opened the doors to the first round of residents to ever make home to the storied grounds, or whether it’s the spectacular home preview held this past April, prospective buyers can expect to look forward to being greeted by the Winston family. Co-sponsored by BOWA Builders (with over 160 local and national awards in business and construction excellence), the Winston Real Estate Team welcomed over sixty guests to enjoy the unforgettable panoramic river views silhouetting the prestigious 1105/1106 Watergate South residence. Visitors came from the Kennedy Center, Watergate Management, several embassies and government offices to learn more about the breathtaking property and to enjoy the wonderfully prepared hors d’oeuvres and deserts catered by Purple Onion. As an excellent resource team to future buyers and sellers and a group capable of throwing spectacular gatherings like this most recent event, it’s clear that the Winston family has many more flourishing years ahead of them, drawing new crowds to the Watergate and other luxury properties.
