Discover a remarkable piece of history in the quaint Town of Wardensville with this stunning 1861 historic farmhouse. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom gem, set on a charming 0.46-acre lot, gracefully combines the rustic allure of the Civil War era with modern updates and conveniences. As you step inside, you're welcomed by original hardwood floors, a majestic grand staircase, and classic fireplaces with elegant mantels, all echoing the rich past of the property. The home has been thoughtfully updated in 2016, with a new hot water heater, 200 amp electric service, kitchen appliances, and vinyl siding, while a more extensive refresh in 2021 carefully preserved the rustic and historic charm. The heart of the home is its open kitchen and dining area, featuring custom butcher block countertops, a bespoke live edge countertop breakfast bar, and a commercial stainless steel kitchen sink, perfect for culinary adventures. There are numerous closets for storage throughout the home. The property also boasts a full unfinished attic, offering potential for expansion or even more storage. Outdoor living is a delight, with a mudroom and sun porch currently set up for a hydroponic garden, a covered front porch for a breath of fresh mountain air, a stone firepit for evening gatherings, and an outdoor shower that complements the 'back to nature' vibe. Not to be missed is the original 1800s hand-dug well, adding a unique historical touch. The newly built well house, an insulated 38x14 shop with electricity, a 16x11 drive-in tool shed, and a wire-fenced backyard enhance the utility and charm of this estate. A few asphalt parking spaces accommodate multiple vehicles with ease. Located within easy reach of Wardensville’s unique shops and stores, this property is also a stone's throw from thousands of acres of National Forest land, ideal for recreation and hunting. It’s conveniently close to Trout Pond, Lost River, Seneca Rocks, and the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, making it perfect for nature enthusiasts. Plus, with Washington, DC just about 1 hour and 45 minutes away, it offers an easy commute for work or city outings. This historic farmhouse is not just a residence; it's a versatile retreat ideal as a permanent home, a weekend getaway, or a multi-room Airbnb. Experience the best of past and present in this enchanting property.
