A marvelous, one-of-a-kind historic homestead, offering a distinctive and spacious 1850s all-brick two-story, light-filled 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with a standing seam roof and rich wide plank cherry flooring perfectly placed on a gently rolling 7.45-acre property of majestic Oaks, Maples, Poplar, pines, Walnut trees, Concord grape vines, wild raspberries, blueberries, and all manner of spring/summer plantings. The property features a delightful wisteria-covered backyard pergola/patio, raised bed garden area, and sweet outdoor spaces nestled among wildflowers galore. A delight for the senses and serene retreat only minutes from Shepherdstown and the C&O Canal. Additionally, the estate offers a superb, detached custom-built artist's studio and workshop with its own covered 12' x 15' concrete porch with a vaulted ceiling just a short walk from the main house. This amazing studio features two large display and work rooms, 16' x 11' and 22' x 22', with built-in shelving and wide workbenches, a sink, a space with a toilet and storage, fully electric, an enclosed space vented for the previous master potter's kiln, a central wood stove, high ceilings, tall windows on all sides, and sliding glass doors out to the meadow. Truly an artist's dream. A gracefully curving, mature tree and flower-lined drive brings you to the home where original large hand-hewn stone front steps walk up to the tall front entrance door, with its attractive transom window. Enter into a beautiful front foyer/hall with a large coat closet and main level custom tiled full bath with washer and dryer. To the left of the entrance foyer, stairs, and central hall, the home has a spacious 14' x 17' high-ceilinged library/parlor/family room, and a gracious formal living room to the right of the foyer. Both rooms offer built-in library shelves, exquisite wood flooring, and tall wide flare windows with deep sills found throughout the home. The living room leads to a 13' x 15' formal dining room, and on to the kitchen area with its big wide windows, wood cabinetry, stainless farm sink, track lighting, granite and butcher block counters, and casual eating space. The gorgeous open original 6' wide fireplace and hearth accommodates a wood stove and for cooking, an upgraded state-of-the-art gas stove. The kitchen exits to a glorious wide covered back porch with stairs to the upper covered balcony/summer sleep porch. An additional wide, deep wood deck off the main level porch is great for warm weather entertaining and enjoyment. Many beautiful handcrafted details are enjoyed in this home's freshly painted interior - original antique doorknobs, custom tiles in the baths created by the previous owner/master potter, hand-forged wrought iron hooks and wall accessories, lovely archways, beautifully framed doorways, wide molding, lustrous wood floors, doors, stairs, and handcrafted rich wood banisters. The upper level offers 4 large bedrooms, a full bath with custom tile floors, built-in warm wood linen cabinets, and a walk-in shower, plus stair access to the fully floored expansive walkable attic. A door from one of the bedrooms leads to the wonderful upper covered balcony and summer sleeping porch with its exterior stairs to the lower-level porch. The primary bedroom has beautiful built-in closets and shelving with attractive double wood doors. A peaceful landing area on the upper level is a special spot for reading and relaxing. Outside, a Bilco door leads downstairs to a large fully floored cellar with built-in shelving and plenty of room for tools and storage. A rarely available offering, this distinctive historic home with an artist's studio and sublime estate grounds is a treasure for those who love one-of-a-kind substantial homes among mature trees on well-landscaped grounds and a superb private location, all within a few minutes' drive to Shepherdstown, Shepherd University, the Potomac River, C&O Canal Trail, Harpers Ferry National Park, and all services.
