Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury – Welcome to Edge Hill
Back on the Market-AT NO FAULT OF SELLER-contract was contingent on buyer selling their home.
Step into a piece of history with this extraordinary c. 1880 estate in Front Royal, VA, known as Edge Hill. Nestled on 4.25 acres within town limits, this meticulously restored home seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern luxury, boasting over $600,000 in upgrades and breathtaking mountain views.

Inside, you'll be captivated by the original hardwood floors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, intricate crown molding, and recessed lighting. With 3,800+ finished square feet, this 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers an inviting and spacious layout perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. At the heart of the home is a stunning, modern eat-in kitchen, recently remodeled with high-end finishes while maintaining the charm of antique statement pieces and period details. Let's don't forget, MAIN LEVEL LIVING-PRIMARY SUITE ON THE FIRST FLOOR!

Adding to the estate’s allure is a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house, offering endless possibilities as an in-law retreat, rental property, or private home office. Currently rented at $1,000/month on a month-to-month lease, it presents a fantastic investment opportunity.

Outdoors, the charm continues with expansive porches overlooking the town and mountains, a beautifully maintained in-ground pool with a gazebo, and a paved driveway with ample parking, including space for an RV. The home’s prime location near I-66 & I-81 makes commuting a breeze, while outdoor enthusiasts will love being just minutes from Skyline Drive, the Shenandoah River, wineries, golf courses, and more.
