Step back in time in this preserved 1885 Victorian home set on 5 private acres. Rich with original character and craftsmanship, this special property offers a blend of history, charm, and everyday livability. It even was featured in the Washington Post Home Section in 2002. Inside you’ll find original wood floors and classic architectural details. Two staircases, wood trim, and moldings reflect the home’s authentic heritage. The main level features a formal living room and formal dining room for entertaining or gathering with family and friends. The large country kitchen is ready for the family chef, and an expanded family room addition provides a comfortable modern living space while complimenting the home’s historic character. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and two full baths offer peaceful retreats filled with natural light and vintage charm. There is also an extra space that can be used as a home office, craft area, or nursery. The attic has been converted to a third bedroom plus has additional storage space. Outside, the property truly shines. Wander through the gardens, relax beside the tranquil fishpond, or simply enjoy the privacy and open space that five acres provide. Whether gardening, entertaining, or savoring quiet country mornings on the porch, this home offers a lifestyle that feels both timeless and serene. There are also three out buildings on the property which are usable, but need repair. The seller has made repairs for the sale. The home will be sold as-is. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history — full of warmth, character, and enduring charm.
