Property Description
Price Reduction! Take a look at this one-of-a-kind distinctive and spacious 1850s all-brick two-story, light-filled 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with a standing seam roof and rich wide plank cherry flooring. The house is perfectly placed on a gently rolling 7.45-acre property with majestic oaks, maples, pines, walnut trees, Concord grape vines, wild raspberries, blueberries, and all manner of spring/summer plantings. A serene retreat only minutes from Shepherdstown and the C&O Canal.
Additionally, the estate offers a superb, detached custom-built artist's studio and workshop with a vaulted ceiling and its own covered concrete porch just a short walk from the main house. This amazing studio features two large display and work rooms, with built-in shelving and wide workbenches, a sink, a toilet, an enclosed space vented for the previous master potter's kiln, a central wood stove, high ceilings, tall windows on all sides, and sliding glass doors out to the meadow.
A gracefully curving, daffodil-lined drive brings you to the house which includes two levels, each with a south facing porch. The lower level includes front foyer/hall, custom tiled full bath with washer and dryer, high-ceilinged library/parlor/family room, and a gracious formal living room, formal dining room and large kitchen. Special features include built-in library shelves, exquisite wood flooring, and tall wide flare windows with deep sills found throughout the home.
The upper level offers 4 large bedrooms, a full bath with custom tile floors, plus stair access to the fully floored expansive walkable attic. A door from one of the bedrooms leads to the wonderful upper covered balcony and summer sleeping porch with its exterior stairs to the lower-level porch.
Outside, a Bilco door leads downstairs to a large fully floored cellar with built-in shelving and plenty of room for tools and storage.
A rarely available offering, this distinctive historic home with an artist's studio and sublime estate grounds is a treasure for those who love one-of-a-kind substantial homes among mature trees on well-landscaped grounds and a superb private location, all within a few minutes' drive to Shepherdstown, Shepherd University, the Potomac River, C&O Canal Trail, Harpers Ferry National Park, and all services.
