Set across five private acres in Great Falls, 1205 Towlston Road is an impressive fieldstone estate offering 11,800 square feet of living space across three finished levels. Built by Yeonas & Ellis/Artisan Homes, the residence is distinguished by its classical architecture, beautifully established grounds, and an exceptional collection of spaces for entertaining, recreation, and everyday living.
The arrival unfolds along a private approach before opening to the residence and its expansive front lawn. Dark green shutters, dormered rooflines, and a columned entry establish a timeless exterior composition, surrounded by mature trees and carefully maintained landscaping. Inside, a gracious central hall introduces interiors of substantial scale, with tall ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and a dramatic staircase framed by extraordinary natural light.
The main level balances formal rooms with a series of more relaxed living spaces. The living and dining rooms are generously proportioned, with distinctive fireplace mantels adding warmth and architectural character. A richly paneled library with custom built-ins creates a more intimate retreat, while the conservatory opens directly to the porch and surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully positioned service spaces, including a concealed butler’s pantry, allow the principal rooms to remain elegant while functioning effortlessly for larger gatherings.
At the center of the home, the kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry, a substantial island, and appliances by Sub-Zero, Viking Professional, and Thermador. The adjoining family room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and surrounded by windows overlooking the grounds. A separate morning room opens to the rear terrace and fountain, extending daily living outside. A catering kitchen, pantry, mudroom, sports closet, and secondary staircase complete a highly functional main-level plan.
The upper level includes five spacious en suite bedrooms arranged along wide hallways with architectural archways and abundant natural light. At one end, a dedicated library with built-in shelving and window seating creates an unexpected secondary gathering space. The primary suite occupies a private wing introduced by its own circular foyer and includes a fireside sitting area, coffered ceiling, two substantial walk-in closets, a cedar closet, and an expansive Carrara marble bath with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub beneath a Palladian window.
The lower level was conceived as a complete destination for recreation and entertaining. A custom bar connects a billiards room, game and sports lounge, fireside sitting area, and fitness room, while a professionally designed theater with Klipsch surround sound provides a dedicated cinema experience. A climate-controlled wine cellar accommodates more than 800 bottles and incorporates a built-in humidor. An additional en suite bedroom offers comfortable accommodations for guests, extended family, or staff.
Outside, the estate reveals an equally compelling series of spaces. Broad lawns and mature trees provide exceptional privacy, while terraces immediately surrounding the residence create distinct settings for dining and entertaining. A towering stone fireplace anchors the principal outdoor gathering area alongside a built-in grill and bar. Beyond, the heated 50-foot swimming pool and spa are surrounded by established landscaping, creating a private resort setting within the larger acreage.
A three-car garage, circular drive, extensive parking, and substantial supporting systems complete the property. 1205 Towlston is distinguished by the way its architecture, interiors, and grounds come together with a strong sense of cohesion, creating a residence that feels both substantial and deeply connected to its setting. The result is an estate of enduring character, exceptional privacy, and unmistakable presence.
