Property Description
This home is featured in the book, Uncommon Vernacular, By John C. Allen , JR for the brick work which was the finest for the period of history and this brick work is still admired in present day. This home is one of the homes in the historic district of Shepherdstown that are featured in the town's walking tours. This historically preserved home with amazing architecture boasts six original fireplaces, wood flooring, exposed brick, wood beam ceiling, two large floored attics, an unfinished basement with the original brick arches, stone foundations, vintage lighting and there is a hidden secret room that could be used as a wine cellar, pantry or storage. The main home living room features a fully functional wood burning fireplace. The other five fireplaces could be re-lined for a small investment by the new owner, to safely burn wood once again.
This Charming home has multiple possibilities depending on the potential new owners' current needs or desires. The main house has three bedrooms, and two full baths. There are two, one-bedroom, one full bath attached apartments which both have full kitchens and living/dining combinations with fireplaces. Both apartments and the main home all have separate utilities, separate private entrances, and separate addresses. One apartment can be accessed from the main house by leaving a door unlocked or opened at the landing between the first floor and the second-floor stairway, which perfectly extends the homes living space, or as an in-law suite or could be an entirely separate income-producing long term rental apartment by simply closing and locking a door. The second apartment could be for guests, in-law suite, or as an income producing long term rental unit. Thus far, this unique historic home, with the shaded stone patio and fully fenced backyard, has only been used as a much-loved and cherished residence which can accommodate a large family and/or guests.
The current owners did an extensive home inspection when they purchased and had the repairs made by licensed professionals as well as installed an active radon system. Prior to going on the market, the entire property was refreshed with professional cleaning inside and soft washing outside, even the sidewalks! Painters worked methodically to identify and replace or repair the wood trim to appear as the original wood followed by fresh paint in the same colors, on all the trim, doors plus the two-car detached garage cedar siding has been freshly sealed from the weather!
