For the price of a townhome you can take advantage of a rare opportunity to own a charming historic home nestled along scenic Catoctin Creek. Originally built in 1820, this unique property beautifully blends timeless character with the comforts of modern living. Whether you are searching for a peaceful full-time residence or a relaxing weekend retreat, this countryside gem in the heart of Western Loudoun County offers the perfect escape. An inviting front porch welcomes you into the bright and open kitchen featuring a raised beamed ceiling, white cabinetry, classic subway tile backsplash, and durable butcher block countertops. A cozy pellet stove efficiently heats the entire main level, complementing the oil baseboard heat. Conveniently located just off the kitchen is a combination powder room and laundry area. Just a few steps up, the spacious great room offers the perfect setting for dining and entertaining, complete with a wall of custom built-in bookshelves and warm wood flooring.

Two comfortable secondary bedrooms with closets are located just off the great room, while the upper level hosts a generously sized primary suite with a separate den or sitting room and a full bath. Adding to the property’s appeal, the current owners have thoughtfully expanded the usable living space by converting two outbuildings into a private office and a music studio, ideal for remote work, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Significant updates include four mini-split AC units (2020), concrete septic tank replacement (2021), new roof and HardiePlank siding (2015), and replacement windows (2014), offering peace of mind while preserving the home’s historic charm.
