Property Description
FAIRVIEW, c. 1850, is steeped in Culpeper?s rich history. One could argue that the site is Culpeper or Fairfax as it was originally known. Originally known as ?the Upper Farm?, the property was referenced in the sale of 541 acres from John Spotswood to Robert Coleman in 1774 from which Culpeper was formed and built by Samuel Rixey (founder of Rixeyville) for his eldest son. This stately all-brick Federal-style home, situated on almost 2 in-town acres, exudes all the grace and charm of days long gone. Boasting over 3,800 finished square feet of living space, this gorgeous home offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, original random width heart of pine hardwood floors, numerous ?wavy? glass windows, six fireplaces*, a traditional half-raised English basement that houses the ?winter? kitchen with pass-through and formal dining room, a pre-WW II wrought iron front porch and arguably one of the neatest things you will find at any property ? a separate two-story, locally-sourced, all-brick ?summer? kitchen, attached via a covered breezeway that predates the home, possibly back to the 1700s and the original ?Upper Farm?, complete with two fireplaces. To tour the home is to truly take a walk back through time. Appreciate the double-walled brick walls, substantial heavy wood mantels, formal wide center hall, plaster walls, walnut banister and newel posts, 10+ foot ceilings, main and upper level six-over-six windows with many original hand-blown glass, English ?Carpenter? patent locks and even an 1860 Taylor?s patent crank door bell. Don?t miss the 1,100+ sq/ft Carriage House with tack room and hay-loft. A fantastic blend of old-world aesthetics and current functionality/necessity, the home went through a thorough renovation in the late 1970s that added a plumbing addition, now home to three and a half updated baths, large utility room and classic laundry chute. This needed renovation now allows for myriad uses including the option to have a formal main level primary suite. One of three homes not in Culpeper?s contiguous Historic District, Fairview is seated in a Non Contiguous Historic Boundary and could be an ideal candidate for the National Register, as well as, offering the potential for future division or expansion. Don?t miss your opportunity to own a true piece of Culpeper history!
