Overview

Step back in time to this historic and stately home situated on almost 15 acres in Lovettsville. The original home was built in 1760 with an addition added in the late 18th century...on the market for the first time since 1969. This 3-bedroom, 3 full bathroom home has been freshly painted is ready for the next owner's special touches. The house and several hundred acres of land were a land grant by the King of England in the early part of the 18th century. With original hardwood floors throughout, extensive moldings, beamed ceilings, an expansive front and back porch, 5 fireplaces, a spring house, a run-in shed, a greenhouse, and a storage shed...this property is truly special. Unique features are told history of this home...4 courses of thick brick makeup the walls in the home. The stone foundation and stone walls were made from stones the farmers cleared from the land to grow crops. There was a cookhouse in the basement as evidenced by the iron arm over the fireplace. There was an icehouse underground next to a small log cabin that was used for hanging and preserving meat The natural spring supplied this property with water until a well was installed in 2024. The ornate hand-carved mantles and first floor doorframes were crafted by German soldiers who were hired by the British to fight for them in the Revolutionary War. The addition of a main level full bathroom includes custom tile made by local artist Joan Gardiner. Additions of bathrooms and laundry, updates to electrical, updates to plumbing, repointing of bricks, restoring of windows, addition of a generator, addition of a 2nd story to the spring house (wonderful space for an artist's studio, guest house, or office), lining of chimneys to accommodate the use of wood stoves, running a gas line to the living room and kitchen, and so much more has been poured into this home with love over the years. The marvelous main level features a mud room, full bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, and family room/den. The upper level features an owner's suite with full bathroom and laundry as well as a "bedroom wing" with 2 bedrooms, bonus space, 3rd level attic access, and full bathroom. Bring your horses, chickens, and pets to this amazing property just minutes to the Historic Towns of Lovettsville and Waterford as well as ease of access to the MARC trains in Brunswick and Pt. of Rocks. Explore the possibility of a Bed and Breakfast!! It would be spectacular!! Enjoy wineries, breweries, distilleries, farm to table restaurants, the Lovettsville Co-Op, the C&O Canal towpath, the Potomac River, hiking, biking, kayaking, and more!!
