About This Home

Historic charm meets a top-to-bottom transformation at 5285 Germain Street! Built in 1921, this three-bedroom, two-bath home has been extensively remodeled over the past year, pairing its original character with the comfort and convenience of modern updates. With 1,596 square feet of living space on 0.52 acres in the Historic District of Stephens City, this home is ready to begin its next chapter.

The improvements go well beyond the finishing touches. The home features a new roof, windows, Hardie Plank siding, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and landscaping, along with two completely remodeled bathrooms and an entirely new kitchen.
