About This Home
Seller is offering $5,000 credit to Buyer with a strong offer. Also, Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing. Proudly presenting 9309 West Street, a meticulously preserved and stylish turn-of-the-century residence. Known as the "Morris-Shannon" house on the National Register of Historic Places, this captivating circa 1900 Victorian treasure served as the backdrop for the 1952 Paramount film, "My Son John," starring the iconic Helen Hayes, Robert Walker, and Van Heflin. This truly one-of-a-kind home, frequently highlighted in various press releases and articles, seamlessly blends classic Victorian allure with modern upgrades.
A comprehensive and tasteful $500,000 renovation in 2018 introduced contemporary mechanical and functional features, including a Burnham Gas Furnace, a 55-gallon electric hot water heater, and a durable metal roof, all while meticulously preserving its invaluable traditional finishes. Throughout the home, you'll discover period trims and moldings, solid wood pocket doors, original knobs and hardware, and exquisite hardwood floors, among many other details. This remarkably comfortable home exudes a character reminiscent of classic cinema—an ideal residence for living and enjoying, or for establishing a desirable Bed & Breakfast/Air BnB.
The home boasts two expansive levels, both featuring impressive 12-foot ceilings that soar from the Center Hall staircase and foyer. To the right of the open entry, a charming living room/parlor offers a freestanding retro gas stove for cozy fires and a bonus pub area. Opposite the parlor, glass-panel French doors open into another beautifully lit living room, perfect for a home office or library, leading into a spacious dining room.
The kitchen is truly the heart of the home! It features retro appliances, including an antique-style Elmira gas cooking range and convection oven, and a Galanz refrigerator. This level also includes a generous kitchen pantry, a full bathroom with a step-in accessible shower, and a large laundry room with a brand-new washer/dryer set and access to the stunning flat backyard.
Upstairs, you'll find an expanded primary bedroom and two additional large bedrooms, one of which was historically known as "servants' quarters" and includes a back staircase leading to the kitchen. Ample storage is available throughout the home, most notably in the easily accessible attic that spans the entire footprint of the house.
Imagine savoring your morning coffee on the swing of the sprawling porch or the second-floor balcony, overlooking the historic streets of Old Towne Manassas with its beautiful views. The property offers abundant parking in its long driveway and along West Street. Conveniently located just two blocks from the VRE and Harris Pavilion, you can enjoy live music events, explore diverse dining and shopping options, and immerse yourself in the rich history of the area. Easy access to the train station is a significant plus!
Don't miss this opportunity to make this exceptional home your own. Be sure to explore the video tour and virtual walkthrough!
Please do not move anything, touch the antiques, or sit on the furniture during your tour of this spectacular home.
