Property Description

Welcome to Talbott’s Tavern, a beautifully restored four-story townhome in the heart of the historic village of Waterford, Virginia. Originally built in 1797 and 1810 and once a bustling tavern and rooming house, this remarkable property seamlessly blends preserved historic character with modern comforts, offering a truly unique living experience within the Waterford National Historic Landmark. The home retains its original charm with historic log-beamed ceilings, thick stone walls, original moldings, stone and hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces, while thoughtful updates provide today’s essential conveniences. High-speed Comcast internet, new HVAC, a new roof, and new stone masonry make this an ideal full-time residence, home office, or turnkey weekend retreat. Generously sized, light-filled rooms span four levels, each with high ceilings and distinctive architectural details. The first floor welcomes you through twin entry doors into the original tavern spaces, featuring exposed beams, striking stone floors and walls, and a cozy fireplace framed by custom wood cabinetry—perfect for entertaining or relaxing by the fire. The second level offers a charming library and breakfast room with fireplace, an adjacent formal dining room, and a sun-splashed living room with large windows and soaring ceilings. The custom kitchen is appointed with cherry cabinetry and modern appliances and opens to a sunken, walled stone patio ideal for al fresco dining. Beyond the patio, a three-terrace yard unfolds with newly dry-stacked stone walls, boxwoods, an Asian cherry tree, a hidden Amish-style garden shed, and beautifully planted cutting gardens filled with daffodils, lilies, poppies, irises, peonies, and more. The third level features a serene primary bedroom suite with a well-appointed bath, including a double-sink vanity, claw-foot soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional guest bedrooms share a full bath, and a stacked washer and dryer complete this level. The fourth floor offers a king-sized bedroom suite with a separate sitting room and a three-unit bay window overlooking the terraced gardens and stone patio below. With its own full bath, this level provides flexible space for an in-law suite, private guest retreat, or expansive home office. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Waterford’s history, Talbott’s Tavern is a stunning example of historic architecture and careful restoration—timeless, gracious, and rich with character in one of Western Loudoun County’s most treasured villages.
