Property Description
The 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence boasts three fireplaces, original moldings, and lovingly preserved features throughout. A large covered front porch welcomes you into the gracious interior, where double parlors have been combined into a grand living room with custom bookcases and coffered ceilings. The formal dining room—perfect for hosting—features a 1915 mantel and French doors that once opened to a conservatory.
The spacious kitchen and family room are a nod to both the past and present. Here you'll find original glass-front cabinetry, exposed beams, and a fireplace with a hearth crafted from salvaged antique bricks—some still etched with numbers and even a raccoon footprint. The back staircase leads to four bedrooms upstairs, including a full bath with clawfoot tub, original sink, and mirror. The fully floored attic offers additional storage or creative space.
This home's story is as rich as its craftsmanship. The grounds have revealed arrowheads, Civil War bayonets, and lead bullets—evidence of an encampment during the war. President Woodrow Wilson is said to have dined here, and during Prohibition, the home operated as a speakeasy. A raid by federal agents even left bullet holes in the front door—still visible today.
Equestrian and homesteading enthusiasts will love the property's three-stall stable, three paddocks, large fenced field, chicken coop, kennel, and gazebo. The detached three-car garage—built in 1992—offers space for an office or studio above, ideal for creative work, guests, or remote office use.
Outdoors, enjoy a peaceful creek winding through the back of the property, a natural spring in the lower field, and breathtaking views of South Mountain from your deck. The land once held a barn (now gone) and still offers room to expand, garden, or farm.
Ideally located just outside the historic town of Brunswick, this one-of-a-kind property sits at the crossroads of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. You're minutes from Harpers Ferry, the Appalachian Trail, the C&O Canal Towpath, and the Potomac River. The Brunswick MARC station offers an easy rail commute to Washington, D.C., while Loudoun County and Leesburg are just across the bridge.
This home is more than a residence—it's a living piece of American history, ready for its next chapter.
