Description

Set against the backdrop of an old dairy farm complete with rolling green hills, breathtaking views and massive trees, this charming Victorian estate is a must-see. Close to Shenandoah National Park, Luray Caverns, the trendy town of Marshall, historic Warrenton, Little Washington and Middleburg. Built circa 1899 but renovated and restored, this home has the unique ability to seamlessly blend the character and history of the past with modern finishes and design of today. The grounds are filled with thousands of blooming flowers, fruit trees, and a plethora of native plants. The house itself features dual staircases, heart pine floors, and a huge master bedroom filled with natural light beaming through the bay windows, with four additional rooms to accommodate family or guests. The home has plenty of cozy gathering spaces for entertaining. There are two spare rooms on the third floor that could potentially be converted into living spaces, and a guest bedroom with study on the upper level offering stunning views of the grounds. The chef+GGs kitchen features authentic, Amish-constructed, dovetailed cherry cabinetry & a walk-in pantry. Its front and back porches showcase rare gingerbread trim and overlook the scenic historic grounds. 10 peaceful, scenic acres of lush heirloom plantings including peonies, daffodils, lilacs and exotic varietals with two 30+GG x 50+GG fenced areas just behind the house - perfect for a vegetable garden. This tranquil utopia is truly one of a kind. Some recent updates to the house include brand new Andersen windows throughout the house, newly built-out bathroom, updated bathrooms, laundry room, updated master bedroom, wood burning stove installation, new kitchen floors, split-level AC with heat pump on the first floor and a brand new furnace.
