Imagine you are awakened in the pre-dawn hours by the distant roar of cannon fire, and before you are fully awake, the sound of rushing horses thunder outside your front door as soldiers charge toward the cannon fire. This 1852 home sits a couple blocks from the courthouse in downtown Winchester. The city of Winchester, VA was said to have changed hands 72 times during the Civil War. The sounds of soldiers, horses and conflict would have been an unfortunate consequence of those days. But, today, it sits within a few minutes of the downtown walking mall which offers dozens of unique and locally owned restaurants and a wide array of delicious delights for your dining pleasure.
The home boasts of glistening period floors that lead you through the large parlor space to an entertainer’s ideal dining room and ending in a foodie’s dream kitchen. The home has been skillfully tweaked to keep the period allure while adding modern conveniences without losing the 1800s charm. The kitchen island countertop is a restored door from the property, adding a sense of designer whimsey. An antique French grain sack fabric runner from the 1800s leads to the second-floor bedrooms and bath. The second-floor bedrooms bring spacious accommodations, and the second-floor bath has been recently remodeled to maintain the era vibe with all the conveniences of a new-build. The exterior shutters are closable just like they would have been in the 1800s. Be sure to look at the notes to see what the current owner has accomplished over her years of ownership. It is just stunning. The home was also one of the featured homes on the Parade of Homes 2022.
