About This Home
As of March 2025Experience luxury living at 21 Bridle Court, a meticulously designed residence offering an impressive 8,000+ square feet across three beautifully finished levels. Perfectly nestled in one of River Falls’ most coveted cul-de-sacs, this home enjoys a serene and private setting while remaining just a short distance from the neighborhood Swim & Tennis Club, Billy Goat Trail, and the C&O Canal. From the moment you enter the grand two-story marble foyer, elegance and sophistication define every space. The main level features a perfect blend of classic formality and comfortable everyday living. The formal living and dining rooms set the stage for entertaining, while the chef’s kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line appliances, opens seamlessly to a sunlit family room anchored by a striking fieldstone fireplace and custom built-ins.
The private library offers vaulted ceilings, a stunning Palladian window, and extensive built-ins—creating an inspiring workspace. Adjacent to the kitchen, a versatile sunroom serves as a morning room, playroom, or casual gathering space, leading directly to a screened porch and expansive deck overlooking protected green space. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning or unwinding with an evening cocktail, the natural surroundings offer unparalleled tranquility and privacy. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary with a spacious walk-in closet, a fully renovated spa-like bathroom, and an adjacent fifth bedroom—perfect as a nursery, home gym, or private sitting room. Three additional well-sized bedrooms each feature walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for family and guests alike. The fully finished lower level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring high ceilings, abundant natural light, and endless possibilities—create a home theater, game room, billiards lounge, or fitness studio. A separate exercise/game room is equipped with a dedicated mini-split HVAC system, ensuring the perfect climate while you work out or play. Step outside to the fenced backyard, where a private play area backs to dedicated green space for ultimate peace and seclusion. River Falls is ideally located with easy access to major commuter routes, including the Clara Barton Parkway, I-495, and I-270, offering a seamless drive to Bethesda, Washington D.C., and Tyson’s Corner. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being minutes from Great Falls National Park, where hiking, biking, kayaking, and rock climbing opportunities abound.
