About This Home

As of August 2021

Exquisite and remarkable. This home is a work of history and art. The smaller scale from the front of this beautiful Cape Cod belies the true size of this historic home. There are three finished levels with bedroom(s), full bath, and fully functioning brick fireplace on each. The main level features brick walls, brick fireplace, lustrous hardwood floors, full bath with custom tile shower, upgraded and modern kitchen, 9 foot + ceilings, library with built-in bookshelves, living room, and main level bedroom or den. The top deck is just through the French doors in the dining room and, last but not least, the fully renovated kitchen with quartz counter tops and beautiful cabinetry. There is thoughtfully maintained civil war era graffiti on the original walls preserved throughout the home. The pieces blend into the aesthetics of brick, stone, and beams. Each owner becomes a steward of this bit of history connecting it to the solemn allure of Harper's Ferry with its rich past and beautiful natural bounties. The primary suite is up the curved staircase with hardwood floors throughout this space. The loft makes a cozy sitting or dressing area, the primary bathroom features a clawfoot tub and separate custom tile shower. The large bedroom features a brick, wood-burning fireplace and is as beautiful as it is spacious and inviting. In the lowest level you will find the final two bedrooms with windows and custom shutters and window coverings for privacy. There is a large family room with stone walls, fireplace, and walk out to the lower deck. The laundry is on this level with a full bathroom and several areas of storage. There is front and side parking. The backyard is fully fenced and includes a recreational fire pit, decorative pond, and a two story shed for storage/workshop.
