Since the early 19th century, the village of Langley has been an important crossroads linking the City of Washington to Virginia and points west. Federal Hill was part of the expansive Langley Estate named by Thomas Lee for his ancestral estate in England. Today, the next great chapter of this historic estate is being written. With a keen eye on its important heritage, Federal Hill is a new estate residence which reflects classic architectural lines and timeless materials of stone, copper and slate. Inside, the residence features the most modern and luxurious amenities fitting a world-class estate residence. Positioned on a prominent hilltop, Federal Hall commands views in all directions. The main residence encompasses over 20,000 sf finished with the finest materials including hardwood floors, marble, and extensive millwork. The impressive main entry hall is spacious and designed to accommodate large receptions which flow easily to the great room overlooking the impressive pool and gardens beyond. The main chef's kitchen is a culinary showplace centered on a custom La Cornue Range while the separate catering kitchen will accommodate both catering and daily requirements.
